Pros & Cons

Update Pros and 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.

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.

    I have a ubiquiti network and my udm pro needed a hard disk


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The unit it came with only lasted two years


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Easy install and great capacity before rewrite loop starts


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    And 120 days of continuous footage is unnecessary


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Learn what the manufacturer of your nvr requires and purchase accordingly
