Seagate Skyhawk AI 16TB Video Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 512MB Cache for DVR NVR Security Camera System with Drive Health Management and in-House Rescue Services (ST16000VE004)

Defective disk sent and amazon refused return.

This is the perfect hard drive for my 16 camera NVR. It was delivered more quickly than promised, was reasonably priced and is working flawlessly so far. Based on other reviews, I was concerned about how noisy it might be for my office environment, but I'm happy to report that it's pretty quiet; I sit within 8 feet of it and it don't notice it at all.

Dopo decenni con western digital, mai guasti, mai difetti ho voluto provare ad acquistare un seagate. Provato su pc desktop subito ho notato una vibrazione eccessiva sulla scrivania per essere un 7200 rpm ma sembrava funzionare. L’ho collocato dentro il dvr e da li ho notato i problemi che inizialmente pensavo fossero problemi di configurazione. Il dvr riusciva a registrare correttamente la sequenza h24 ma alla richiesta di mostrarmi solo gli accessi di veicoli o persone la lista risultava vuota nonostante gli accessi ci siano stati. Ogni volta che andavo nel menu del dvr ivs mi chiedeva sempre di formattare il disco per ottimizzare il sistema di AI, infine sulla lista allarmi il dvr mi da messaggi di errore del disco che corrispondono alla richiesta dei filmati con i filtri di registrazione. Durante la notte hdd disturbava tremendamente viste le vibrazioni e persino faceva tremare anche il pavimento a ridosso dell’armadio dove sono custoditi tutti i miei apparati di rete. Dopo questa esperienza non penso proprio di acquistare nuovamente prodotti seagate.

Merci au fournisseur Deals2you.ca. J’ai acheté deux HDD et l’expédition a été effectuée dès le lendemain. Je confirme également que les produits Seagate Skyhawk AI sont très robustes et fiables.

Replaced my 2 TB hard drive in my Eufy NVR system with six combo PTZ and fixed S4 max cameras. This 16 TB hard drive was very easy to replace fit right in with four little screws and then plugged in the data and power cable. Had the NVR all hooked up with the ethernets, lan and power and ready to go in about 15 minutes. The 16 TB drive went through its formatting in a couple of minutes and then was fully up and running recording all motion video from all six cameras, very seamless. It is a touch louder than the Western Digital 2 TB drive that came with the system, but not unacceptable. All-in-all a nice large drive made exactly for this NVR system with AI and 512 MB cache and 6Gb/s transfer rate, for a very good price. Highly recommend !!!

I just installed this in a new Eufy S4 Max NVR. It runs all the time, even when it should be idle, making a noise that's crazy, like some rock'n roll drummer gone mad doing a forever solo back in the 70s! It's a Sunday so I'll see if Seagate has an answer tomorrow. Before all that I had to format it in the NVR first, after a few minutes it reported done, but the drumming kept on going like it was still formatting so I thought the "done" message was false. In fact formatting was successful, it's the noise that's an unwelcome feature. I subsequently figured out the internal clatter was being amplified by the cupboard it was sitting on. Now even with a towel under it for padding I can still hear it 10' away sitting at my desk.
