versed 0 Posted August 8, 2015 anyone have experience with these Seagate drives. I was thinking about using the WD green's but have seen a couple of post indicating these won't last too long as VMS storage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SyconsciousAu 0 Posted August 9, 2015 anyone have experience with these Seagate drives. I was thinking about using the WD green's but have seen a couple of post indicating these won't last too long as VMS storage. Definitely do not use greens. Years ago I foolishly did in the quest for the lowest power consumption NVR possible. They died. I've used WD Reds successfully for several years. WD also makes the purple which is supposedly optimised for CCTV but I don't know much about them other than a few reviews I've read. Regardless I run a Raid for redundancy.

Brenton81 0 Posted August 9, 2015 I've been using the Seagate SV35 drives for a couple years now, after having some WD Greens die on me. I've got three 2TB drives in my DVR here at home (American Dynamics TVR) and haven't had any problems with them. I've also put them in a few Intellex units and a Ganz DigiMaster without any issues so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackbeard 0 Posted March 11, 2016 I have been using Western Digital Black Enterprise drives and they work without problems for years now. The WD purple drives are also a good source, but I would use them for Video storage. I avoid using WD Purple drives to store the OS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocacola 0 Posted March 13, 2016 The best are WD Purple and Seagate® Surveillance HDD`s There is one betther option and that are the WD Yellow label HDD`s.
