TOSHIBA Surveillance Hard Drive 3.5 inch, 2TB/4TB/6TB/8TB/10TB

TOSHIBA Surveillance Hard Drive, 2TB to 10TB

The TOSHIBA surveillance hard drive is made for storing video from security camera systems. It is a 3.5 inch drive intended for surveillance storage, so it suits CCTV and video recording setups that need to save footage over long periods.

This drive is offered in five capacities: 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, 8TB and 10TB. Choose the size that matches the number of cameras, the video resolution and how many days of footage you want to keep. Larger capacities hold more recordings before older footage is overwritten.

Surveillance drives are designed for a different workload than everyday desktop storage. Security recorders write data continuously, often around the clock, and the drive needs to keep up with that steady stream. Choosing a drive labelled for surveillance use is a sensible match for this kind of recording.

The drive fits the standard 3.5 inch bay found in most network video recorders, digital video recorders and tower computers. Check your recorder’s manual for supported capacities and installation steps before you buy.

If you are setting up a new camera system or expanding an existing one, this TOSHIBA drive gives you a dependable storage option from a well known hard drive brand. Pick the capacity that fits your recording plan and add it to your basket.

TOSHIBA Surveillance Hard Drive, 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, 8TB or 10TB

TOSHIBA Surveillance Hard Drive 3.5 inch, 2TB/4TB/6TB/8TB/10TB

The TOSHIBA surveillance hard drive is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive for security and video recording systems. It is designed to hold footage from IP and analogue cameras, so that recordings can be kept for review, evidence or record keeping. It is a practical choice for homes, shops, offices and other sites that run a camera system.

Key features

  • Brand: TOSHIBA
  • Type: Surveillance hard drive
  • Form factor: 3.5 inch
  • Capacity options: 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, 8TB and 10TB
  • Intended use: Security camera and video recording storage

Choosing the right capacity

Storage needs depend on the number of cameras, the resolution and frame rate of each camera, and how long footage must be kept. A larger drive lets you record for more days before the oldest footage is overwritten. A smaller drive costs less and suits a few cameras or shorter retention periods. If you are unsure, count your cameras, estimate the daily recording time and check the storage calculator offered by your recorder manufacturer.

Why a surveillance drive

A surveillance drive is built for recording tasks that run for long periods. Camera recorders write video data constantly, which differs from the occasional reading and writing of a typical office or home computer drive. Using a drive intended for this workload is a sensible choice for a camera system that is switched on day and night.

Installation

The drive mounts in a standard 3.5 inch bay. Many network video recorders and digital video recorders have a few bays, so you can add one or more drives to increase storage. Before installing, switch off the recorder, check the drive connection type required by your device and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for formatting the new drive inside the recorder.

Typical uses

  • Storage for network video recorders (NVR) and digital video recorders (DVR)
  • Recording footage from IP cameras and analogue CCTV cameras
  • Expanding the storage of an existing camera system
  • Building a new security system for a home, shop or office

Before you buy

Confirm that your recorder supports the capacity you want, since some older devices limit the maximum size per drive. Check the number of bays available in your recorder and plan for spare capacity to allow for future camera additions. Keep your recorder and drive in a ventilated place, and keep a regular backup of important footage elsewhere.
