Seagate Skyhawk 4TB Video Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache for DVR NVR Security Camera System with Drive Health Management and in-House Rescue Services (ST4000VXZ16/016)

Good product

After two failed fraudulent drives from the WD Purple line ordered from Amazon I finally found one that appears to be both legit and functioning. The first WD Purple I ordered showed 0 power on hours but clearly had been used previously. It was loud, clicked a lot and failed within two weeks. The replacement drive I ordered (That appeared to come from the "Western Digital Store") showed up and wasn't recognized by my system as a WD drive but rather an HGST drive...a model that was manufactured from 2014-2015. The drive had tool marks that had been painted over with black paint and the body also matched HGST drives from that era. You could even see sticker residue where something was removed and a WD Purple label was placed on it. The serial number was fake and also didn't match what SMART reported. WD had no record of either serial. This drive formatted immediately, showed up in new manufacturer packaging and the serial number checks out on the Seagate website. I've used several purple drives in the past with good results but it seems like Amazon has an issue with the resellers on this site so I would 100% avoid buying the WD line on here for now and go with this seagate drive instead.

Seagate is a well known brand of hard drives.It is a very reliable product. I am a Seagate customer for quite sometime.

Had the same one in my security DVR for some years and it finally failed. The new one was plug and play and is doing fine.

I received a refurbished drive when it was stated as new. The SMART Info says the power on hours are 0 and Power Cycle Count is 1 but the Head Flying Hours are at 23192823398400 in hexidecimal which converted back to decimal numbers is 5400 hours (about 225 days of use)! The seller reset most of the SMART information to make it look like a new drive.

This worked perfectly on my CCTV NVR, plug and play, fast response, fast playback and video retrieval, definitely value for money.

Excellent value, timely delivery.

Great price! I just installed it today and it seems to be working.
