  Can you use this in a desktop instead of a NAS, what's the drawback other than the loud noise it makes?

    Nothing, I got it as a data drive (still got other ssd/m.2 for os and a faster OneDrive/app data drive. Can be slight lag on spin up start of the day or depending on indexing settings but totally fine I reckon.

    Cheers op paid 250$ less than a year ago ;).

    You can. Some might say because it's a NAS drive you should set it to never shut down so limit wear. But I think it would be okay. I have mine set to spin down

    The only downside would be the noise. It is significantly louder than barracuda

      It also runs significantly hotter than the 10, 18 and 20 TB drives by 5-8C.

      I have 2 8TB, and both are hotter than the larger drives in the same case with similar airflow over them.

  I think the description isn't quite right.. The Pro isn't this price, just the regular model?

    Yeah I think it's just the regular model and not pro. Imo not worth at $27.5/tb.

    Yes not a pro version, thanks Mod for the edit! Though still a good deal.

    Whats the difference between pro and this ?

  Difference between a NAS HDD and a NVR HDD ? Seems like they both will be on all the time and writing constantly?

    NVR ones are generally tuned for constant writing performance/reliability
    NAS is for random reads/writes

    Both can be slower rpm too for lower power/noise or higher rpm for speed

    NVR firmware is basically set to DROP errored bites and keep writing, since video is quite a resilient format. It's very important for a CCTV system to keep recording, and you'd prefer 3 frames of corruption, over 1 second of lost footage, due to CRC errors.

    NAS and desktop is fairly 1:1, with the exception that NAS drives can usually dynamically change their spin speed to target the lowest vibration possible, and are also tuned for a little less power saving (usually more obtuse 'on vs off' type APM states)

    For a desktop or server; So long as you use a checksumming COW filesystem, both are totally acceptable. You wouldn't want an NVR drive on an old format like NTFS, FAT or XFS though.

    For a NVR, so long as you're OK with losing "a second or two" of stream if something goes wrong its OK there too.

  I picked this up previously and it's pretty noisy.

  A constant scratching sound which I've heard is pretty common
