Review: Good fast Hard Drive - Good fast Hard Drive. These Western Digital hard drives work great.
Review: Won't work - I set up the hard drive and installed and initialized my DVR system. I thought everything was ok. However, I noticed that after every 15 minutes, the entire camera system and the DVR would shut down and restart. After going into the audit logs, I could see that it keeps giving an error and can't actually write anything on the drive so the DVR trys to re-initialize and then restart when it still doesn't work it does the same thing over and over. I tried reformatting it re initializing nothing seems to work so I am out 540 bucks and have 0mb of footage recorded so ticked!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bang for your buck!
*by S***Y on August 2, 2024*

These are the best bang for your buck for large surveillance camera systems! Out of 15 that I’ve bought in the past year I’ve only had one that was doa and Amazon quickly sent a replacement. I’ve yet to have issues with any of them which is surprising giving that many of them live in buildings that are pretty much sheds without any climate control or even ventilation!
