2.5 Surveillance Hard Drive

use it for surveillance system to add a new hard drive. works fine.

Best hard drive for surveillance use at a great price at B&H

If you're looking for a reliable and affordable hard drive for your surveillance DVR, this is a great choice.

The USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive adapter cable w/UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD / HDD works with my Windows laptop but it seemed like I needed a USB 3.0 port to provide enough power because when plugged into a USB 2.0 it would not light up. No special software or drivers required - the hard drive showed up as another drive when I looked at My Computer. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Its a surveillance-rated hard-drive, and it works fine. No problems during my first 3 months of use.

Wanted a 2 TB hard drive to upgrade surveillance system. Bought a new DVR, the instructions listed types of hard drives that worked best, one was the purple WD. Have had good luck with WD and B&H carried it at a good price. No problem in 6 months of use.

I purchased the Western Digital 2TD Purple surveillance hard drive to replace the one that came with my camera surveillance system. The price was reasonable and it very easy to install. It works great and the customer service at Western Digital is great. I definitely recommend it!

My surveillance NVR came with a 2TB hard drive, with 8 cameras it needed more storage. This WD Purple 8TB provided that extra storage capacity.

I have few external 2.5 hard drives, but this one is the best. It's look and design is superb and the price is fair. It is not USB3 but it doesn't matter since my MacBook Pro is not USB3 compatible (so are other Macs), so why pay the extra money for something I do not need. Also I bought this hard drive to my Time Machine backups, so I don't need the fire-wire (extra money) hard drive.

This hard drive docking station is terific in a lab environment or anywhere you need to format or image a large volume of drives. It supports both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch drives over USB 3.0 so speed is not an issue. When connecting the smaller 2.5 inch drives a plastic shield pops up to protect the internals from dust, etc. If I had to change one thing about this docking station it would be to have a similar protection shield when no drives are in use but this is only a minor annoyance.
