About this product
The Seagate ST4000VX015 is a 4TB 3.5-inch internal SATA hard drive, featuring a rotation speed of 5400 RPM and a substantial 256MB cache. This HDD is designed for continuous operation, suitable for NVR, NAS, and DVR applications. It utilizes CMR technology and is manufactured by Seagate in Thailand, offering significant storage capacity for surveillance or data archiving.
Our take
For applications like NVR or DVR where continuous recording is crucial, this Seagate 4TB drive is well-suited. The 5400 RPM speed, while not the fastest for general desktop use, is often preferred for surveillance drives due to potentially lower heat and noise, which contributes to long-term reliability. A highlight is the very generous 256MB cache, which should help manage write bursts effectively. The CMR technology is also a good indicator for consistent performance, especially under heavy write loads. It’s a specialized drive that seems optimized for its intended use cases, providing reliable mass storage.
