I would buy another. I would recommend one. I'm not paid anything in any form to give this review. The internet is full of fake reviews from paid writers that probably never even used the product. They also have reviews to slam products of competitors. I know, it's slimy.

Runs cooler in my security system than my old WD drive; Installed, formatted right away, went right back to recording; I will not be able to give an honest review on storage quality for a couple of months; I will return; Same price as my old WD 250gb drive.

None yet; Will return to do a full review in a couple of months

Great disk and easily handles 16 camera streams.

The move into the 4K resolution over recent months means we're seeing the surveillance industry evolve. Higher resolutions, more cameras and 24/7 recordings mean that the demand for storage is on the way up.

Low operating temperature; Low power consumption; Low operating noise; Three-year warranty

Random Access Time high and low all-round performance (both irrelavant for this sector

As always, I am always safe when I buy WD. Transfered 1.4TB on this drive, works perfectly! Will see later, but I already tested 3-4 drive like this one, all good!
