sixwheeledbeast Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I always use and recommend WD drives. I have Cavier Green's in my desktop. Interesting article thanks for sharing. In a server situ is the cost difference worth it, if you have full RAID? You could either way.

sixwheeledbeast Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I use Seagate for all, slightly concerned lol, I'll have to replace the tsi drivesI find a huge amount of Seagates that fail, especially in DVR's. In fact I think I can say every disk failure I have seen has been a Seagate. Had a <12 month old Ademco DVR with a Seagate start rattling last week. Remember the floods a while back and HDD prices rocketed, only Seagate where producing disks at the time.

PeterJames Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I had a load of wd drives fail a few years ago. I used to like Hitachi but have used Seagate for some years now. I have about 20 or 30 of old 250gb IDE Hitachi Drives that failed in DVR's. They still work so I am loathed to throw them away. I used a couple to store some handy backups of stuff on theyre fine for that sort of thing, I just cant rely on them for any important or DVR's. I like Seagate but WD have been reliable so far Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37715-choosing-a-hard-drive-for-a-dvr/page/2/#findComment-404543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I use Seagate Pipelines, they are the drives Sky use in their STB The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!
