I was looking for a drive for a DVR security system. Is this "Enterprise" drive the type I'm looking for?

Typical you would want a Western Digital purple drive. You can try this drive. It should work tho.

Not sure if this WD hard drive will work for DVR security systems...I know that WD hard drives that end in -AVGP work for DVR.

Enterprise would certainly work. They are designed for thousands of hour with out failure. (MTBF) But this one os designed for surveillance WD30PURX

There is nothing High Performance about this DVR/Capture device. A 5400 rpm drive will work fine. Mine has been working flawlessly since I got it and installed the drive.

I would recommend using one on Thecus's compatibility list: http://www.thecus.com/download/compatibility/hdd/N4520SERIES_N2800_N4800_N4800Eco_N5550_N4510U_N7510_HDD_SSD_list.pdfAlso consider that Enterprise rated drives will last longer and potentially perform a bit faster, but might not be worth the price bump for just backups.

I am not using the HDD in question, I am using a Seagate SV35 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6-Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive for Video Surveillance ST1000VX000 in a security camera DVR. This system records 24/7 and I have not had any problems with it. Understand though that I am recording in 700 lines, not high definition. In addition, I am recording 8 cameras at the same time and still no problems. You should test to see if you find out why it is pixilating. Is it the connection to the unit, i.e. is it USB, HDMI etc.? Does it pixilate when recording in standard definition? You will also need to know the specs for a replacement drive from the manufacture as to drive speed, type, and maximum size. DVR are to use 24/7 if they are recording all the time. Also check to see if the system you are trying to connect the expander to will work with that expander. This information you need to get from the manufacture of the DVR. he reason I suggested testing and questioning is because I had a Brand new 55" TV that I was hooking up to a Home entertainment center that I could not get to work properly. I was finally directed by the manufacture to try the highest end HDMI cable. BANG, that was the problem, not the same but it does show that it can be a simple solution to an pain in the neck problem. Hope this helps.

Amazon is your best bet for selection and price for an internal hard drive. Just make sure it has the right SATA connectors for your DVR

I have been using it as a Raid 0 for video editing. Obviously I have plenty of other backups. This is just one huge drive using 4 - 3TB WD drives. Works great. The sleep/wake function is good too. I use it both with eSata and USB3. No clue about DVR or Raid 10 use.

I have 4 ST3000DM0001 and one ST3000VN0000 in a Synology DS1512+ and it doesn't cause any problems. It doesn't add anything to performance either though. The price between the two is only $10 dollars right now, so I would just flip a coin. My long term plan is to replace the DM drives with VN drives as my old drives die.

I'm told that there are limits as to how big a drive you can hook to a DVR. I found one post that said 500GB is it for the 8300HD; I've got a friend with a different brand of DVR and his instructions say his maxes out at 750GB. I'd want to be sure the 8300HD will support a 2TB before I dropped $500 on it!

I bought this drive back in May 2014 as a working drive for a Channel Master DVR+ (16GB High Definition) and it works great! I really do not notice a difference between accessing it and the built-in drives in my cable system DVR! Seem pretty fast. Accessing from a computer would depend on the the CPU set in the computer! One good thing I miss is the noise I use to hear with my old external hard drives. It operates very quietly.

None. They are Seagate 1 Terabyte Enterprise Drives. Enterprise drives are designed to last quite a bit longer MTF than a standard non-ES drive.

Drive only means just that; no mounting hardware or software. Right now though the RESELLER kit is on Black Friday sale and is definitely the one you would want.

It uses a regular SATA hard drive. I really liked this dvr. The setting up is easy, with a one gig hard drive you can record more than 30 days of high resolution video.( 8 cameras) 500gig = 15 days. I sujest buy the 1gig. It has a feature I loved.... It overrides the last hours of video with new recordings when the hard drive is full, something like the black box in a plane. That's not standard, you have to setup. It warns you about everything even trough email. Remote viewing is easy to setup. I am 100% happy with this product.

nope, your drive should be fine. These used to be shown as being OEM (NOT Retail packaging) shipped drives, but I don't see that now. So, if you were expecting a retail box, then return it; otherwise there are no differences.

As far as I can tell you would need a power adapter. You can go to Seagate's web site and ask them. Keep in mind that there is little security on this drive so I wouldn't use it for critical data storage. A small business NAS has security built in and is a safer option. Seagate has those as well.

This is only my end user/Previous Intel Engineer/Microsoft Certied Office User Master unofficial response & attempt to help you in your Electronic device purchase; This is a SATA 2 HDD & as long as your Security system supports SATA 2, it should work. But, PLEASE check the WD Support & Compatibility Website for confirmation. Hope this helps! :-)

This is diskless - just be sure to get HD's that are made for NAS (Seegate ST4000VN000, WD WD40EFRX, etc) do not use energy savers or spin down disks, it will cause havoc on your RAID integrity. So plz do read what drives are supported and are recommended. I put the ST4000VN000, in all of my devices, works great.
