I bought this to replace a failing HDD in a NVR and it works great. Plug and play.

For my home security camera system, I ordered via Amazon a Seagate Skyhawk 2TB Surveillance ST2000VX017-3CV1. It replaced a Seagate Skyhawk Lite unit which failed after 4+ years. It arrived on 1/12. I installed it on 1/13. The system recognized it immediately and all was required was a format. A minute later it started recording automatically and is still operational after 24 hours. Surveillance-built units record at a higher speed to prevent "skipping". The tech at the DVR/NVR company recommended a PC-built HDD...not up to par for DVR/NVR systems. Will update this post if the unit fails sooner than the warranty.

This drive is specifically formulated for NVR. Using it on a Reolink Home Base Pro NVR and it's been working fine, and it's quiet

For an HDD that is on 24/7 it did great. I think compared to the competition this is the better bang for the buck. Only thing to be aware of is third party warranties...

I bought this for my security systems DVR, installed Feb.1st 2022 and now I noticed it is no longer recognized in my DVR....I took it out of DVR and tried to read the drive hooked into my computer and it is not recognized there either....DEAD DRIVE. So I go to the Seagate website, signed up and put in the serial number of the drive, it said warranty was good for another year. I tried everything I could to get a warranty started but their website is all messed up, endless loop asking me to sign in and enter serial number, then I finally got to a page that was all scrambled and had no clue what to do at that point. Screw it, I will just take it to the recycling center in my area and will look for a better brand hard drive.

There were no bolts to connect this HDD to the DVR. Other than this all ok.

I bought this 2TB SkyHawk to replace the default 500GB drive in my DRX890WL Sky+ HD Box. The SkyHawk has been running fine for the last 6 months, no problems.Most Sky+ HD boxes contain a Seagate Pipeline or Seagate Video hard drive; these are available on Amazon, but they're all old stock. Pipeline/Video stopped being made around 2014 (6 years ago!), the SkyHawk is Seagate's replacement for these drives; why buy a 6 (or more) year old drive when you can get something brand new?!I have bought several 'upgraded' Sky+ HD boxes off Amazon and Ebay, on opening them up the seller has just stuck a Pipeline/Video in there (because they're cheap). I have also come across some 'upgraded' boxes that have old Western Digital AV-GP drives, these have long since been replaced by Western Digital Purple Surveillance drives.The SkyHawk and WD Purple are both good drives.My preference is for the SkyHawk as I prefer Seagate drives, they're in most of my computers at home; I also work as an Infrastructure Engineer for a large online travel company, we have two data centres with around 2500 servers, the HP Blades and other physical machines the servers are running on have mostly Seagate drives.In addition most Sky+ HD boxes I have opened up have a Seagate Pipeline or Video in them. Also the Pipeline/Video run at 5900 rpm, so does the SkyHawk, the WD Purple runs at 5400 rpm. The SkyHawk is just a better matching replacement for the original.Other than the obvious increase in disk space, the only other thing I noticed upon upgrading was that fast-forwarding/rewinding was considerably faster than the original Pipeline drive.My hard drive is mounted outside the Sky box in a NAS enclosure, this allows me to backup the drive. I have a total of four SkyHawks, the live one in the NAS enclosure, and three I use for backups. I create sector-by-sector backups using the DD command on Linux, it takes about 7.5 hours; the source and backup drive are in a USB3 dual caddy.I used ExPVR to migrate my programmes from the original 500GB drive to the SkyHawk.

I've only had the drive for less than 24 hours so I can't really rate it. I just wanted to share this experience.The WD hard drive in my Samsung sdr-b74301 went bad and instead of repairing it again I chose to buy a seagate.After installing the drive into the dvr you go into settings to format the drive. The dvr would say the drive is formatted. The dvr status would still show the drive as unformatted.After several attempts I put the drive in an external enclosure. Hooked it to my PC. Went to disk management. Initiated the drive. Them chose to format it. The drive must be formatted in exfat.Then I reinstalled the drive into the dvr. It showed unformatted disk. Then I went to settings and formatted again through the dvr and everything went well.Not really a review but just some instructions if anyone runs into this issue.

I just bought a 2 TB Skyhawk for a small NVR and camera system I just purchased. I also purchased a 2 TB WD Purple drive, and decided to install one of these in the NVR and the other in a USB enclosure attached to the NVR as a backup. I ended up putting the Purple in the USB enclosure and set the Skyhawk as the installed drive inside the NVR, based on reviews here and some reviews of the WD Purple, which claimed video sometimes stuttered. I have always been a fan of Seagate drives, though some of the Seagate desktop drives, though making little seek/head noise, can vibrate more than their WD counterparts. This is an issue I have NOT seen in the Seagate NAS drives, of which I have several (Ironwolf and last generation NAS, also). These are the first surveillance-specific drives I have purchased.This Skyhawk is QUIET, probably one of the quietest drives I have ever used - you can barely heard it at all, even when pressing your ear against the NVR enclosure. Like the NAS drives, there is no vibration, either. I love my HGST NAS drives and had a couple extras, but they're not the quietest drives on the market, and didn't want something hammering away that you can hear two rooms down inside an NVR. The good reviews have given me confidence this will be a great drive for the long haul.
