Pros & Cons
Pros
Seagate skyhawk hard disk is 5x faster and 5x quieter than previous model. The old drive sounds like a helicopter but this thing is super quiet. Formats and works fine, but might as well save $50 and get an tb drive, or get two 6tb drives and replace ... Read More
Easy to install into my amcrest dvrs. Plugged right into my amcrest nvr. Great capacity before rewrite loop starts.
Cons
Customer service is worthless. When you purchase a 6tb hard drive it needs to format at 6tb. The real issue is on my pc it only shows as having 95mb of free space, for a supposed 2 tb hdd.
The warranty is a joke and outsourced. Get the same popup. No receipt. I suggest anyone that gets these doa units, just send back via amazon and let them fight with seagate over money.
Highlights
Quality
Quality (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐):the build quality of this drive is commendable.
Great product used in night owl home security system went from 2tb now i’m running 6tb plenty of storage
This drive is waaaaay faster to load recordings (the old one would take 15-30 seconds just to playback a clip).
Probably the most overkill i will ever go for simply storing nvr data.
Price
New original item with a great price.
Right now and for workhorse needs, this is a nice and reasonably-cost solution.
I went with this seagate because it was affordable.
Purchased 2 more in 02/2023 on sale $299 to expand the video recording system storage capacity and to add raid redundancy.
Shipping
The third party seller shipped fast so no complaints.
Came right on time, i would recommend this drive
Ordered on march 12, 2022 put it into constant service the day it arrived.
Competitiveness
The site also recommends that you use their hdd's but they are much more expensive and i trust seagate which is a leader in the... Read More
In summary, the seagate skyhawk ai 16tb drive is a top-notch choice for those in need of high-capacity storage.

When i started out with continuous recording on my doorbell i was able to have 120 days of stored footage and it would only use up about a third of the drive

And 120 days of continuous footage is unnecessary

Will allow me to record from six cameras at 4k resolution 247 for almost 2 months before it begins to overwrite

As others have stated if the drive doesnt work for you then you have made a mistake in formatting or doing your reasearch

Learn what the manufacturer of your nvr requires and purchase accordingly
