Built for DVR workloads

This 4 TB Seagate drive is designed for 24×7 operation in consumer DVR devices. It delivers up to 16 simultaneous streams of high-definition content and spins at 5900 RPM with a 64 MB cache. The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 3.5" form factor suit standard desktop bays.

Sustained streaming behaviour

At 5900 RPM the drive prioritises steady throughput over burst speed, keeping multiple HD streams flowing without interruption. NCQ support helps order requests efficiently during continuous recording and playback. The firmware is tuned for always-on demands rather than occasional desktop access patterns.

Check bay and power compatibility

Verify your system has a free 3.5" drive bay and a SATA data cable plus power connector. Confirm the BIOS or DVR firmware recognises drives larger than 2 TB. Ensure the enclosure or chassis can dissipate heat from a drive rated for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 5900 RPM drive produce during 24×7 operation?

The 5900 RPM spindle speed keeps power draw and heat lower than faster desktop drives, and the unit is rated for continuous 24×7 operation in always-on DVR devices.

What SATA host interface and cable does the bare 3.5" drive require?

It needs a SATA 6.0Gb/s port on the motherboard or controller, plus standard SATA data and power cables; the bare drive ships without cables or mounting screws.

Will the 64MB cache and SATA 6.0Gb/s link work with an older SATA 3Gb/s motherboard?

Yes, the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s ports, and the 64MB cache operates normally at the reduced link speed.
