Review: Good and reliable hard drive - Good and reliable for my NAS
Review: Worked right out of the box with frigate! - Absolutely amazing, was a breeze to swap out an old one with this, just had my old regular barracuda die on me from 3.5years of uptime (continous) functioning as an NVR drive, out of which around 1 year was fully writing 24/7, I am hoping this will last around the same or longer, frigate is fairly good on writing to storage, and this immediately got picked up and formatted brand new drive was in place and being recorded onto in like 5 mins from opening the package. It was in an ESD bag and the box was strong and had a sort of tangy movement for the drive so even if it got slammed during delivery it would still work just fine. Since this is lower power consumption than my previous drive it would generate less heat too which is just a bonus. So far its silent mounted sideways in a drive bay, just using it in a stripe so will definitely see how long it will last. Fairly cheap and with 3 cameras constantly writing to it, I can store around 30days worth of 1080p footage, maybe even more, but I dont want to reach 90% usage on a drive constantly.
