These are for NVRs and DVRs. Use them or WD Purples for surveillance needs. Don't use them for general purpose tasks, as they are made for constant writes and occasional reads, which is opposite of how most drives are used. Don't raid them, there is usually no need in most NVR systems: JBOD only.
That being said, these are great surveillance drives: good longevity, good $/tb, and not noticably noisy or hot. Of course they're probably being deployed in a server room or network closet, so you might not be able to tell.

So far no issues with the drive. It’s currently handling 20 HD cams and still allows for pretty snappy access and review of old footage while recording those feeds.
