Q: QuestionI have a SANNCE 4CH 1080P HD POE Security System NVR & 4x 2MP Bullet Cameras. Will this record for a 30 day period & will this work for this system?

Asked 7 years ago by DVR.

• A:Answer I would check out the Western Digital site. Usually they have information to help you select the best fit and determine the appropriate size for your application. They do make a drive, I think it may be their purple version, that mentions use for camera recording and I believe it is 7200RPM instead of 5400RPM.

Q: QuestionI want to purchase a MacBook Pro laptop but I want to build it myself I wanted to know what's the highest internal hard drive I could put in could I go higher than 4 Tb if so how many an also gigabytes wise I would like to upgrade an how many gigs

Asked 5 years ago by FlashJordan.

• A:Answer 1. This drive is a 3.5” drive, not a notebook 2.5” spinning or solid state drive. 2. Many Mac’s only come with flash memory, so upgrading in a sense would just mean a build to order upgrade. 4TB would be very expensive for flash memory. 3. If you need exorbitant amounts of storage, the macs can be Booted from an external hard drive and that would give the option of very large hard drives. Much cheaper than Internal flash memory. My Samsung 2TB Ssd cost $ 120. 2tb flash memory in a Mac mini was $1000 extra. Check with Apple for storage limits, but with 64 bit OS ie catalina, storage should not be an issue.

Q: QuestionWould this work with my Dell inspiron 3650 i3

Asked 8 years ago by Slide.

• A:Answer Yes it would work. It's a standard 3.5" hard drive but it's mainly used for Network Attached Storage (NAS). The speed is only 5400 RPM which is more than sufficient for that type of application but for a desktop I would get a cheaper, faster 7200 rpm drive. Either the WD Blue, Black or Green will do.. It all depends on your budget.

Q: QuestionIs this drive with Western Digital's new 3.0 NASware or the old 2.0 NASware

Asked 9 years ago by Rokester.

• A:Answer It may vary and be somewhat luck of the draw, but mine were all the new drives manufactured very recently. Best Buy has a great return policy if they did send the older drives.
