3TB CCTV Hard Drives

A 3TB drive suits a recorder that has outgrown 2TB but does not need 4TB. The 3TB 3.5 inch SATA drive here is a pre-installed model sold for 24/7 continuous recording, so it runs all day without a break. Check that your recorder lists 3TB as supported before you order.

3TB hard drive for a DVR or NVR

This category holds one drive: a 3TB 3.5 inch SATA hard drive that is installed in a recorder before dispatch when you buy it with one of our CCTV kits or packages. Its part number is HDD-3TB-3.5-R. It sits between the 2TB and 4TB sizes.

What the listing says

The drive is a 7200 RPM model with a SATA III interface, listed as compatible with DVR and NVR surveillance systems and suited to 24/7 continuous recording. It also works in desktops, servers, NAS devices and external enclosures. It is not one of the Seagate SkyHawk or Toshiba S300 surveillance-series drives, which our 4TB page lists.

Before you buy

Look up the largest disk your recorder accepts in its manual, and check there is a free 3.5 inch SATA bay. The length of recording depends on the number of cameras, the resolution and the recording mode. All sizes are on the main hard drives page.
