6TB CCTV Hard Drives
At 6TB the surveillance choice is the Seagate SkyHawk ST6000VX008, made for recorders that run around the clock. The other drives are enterprise models: the Toshiba MG Series 6TB and the Seagate ST6000NM0275, both 7200RPM, plus a pre-installed 6TB disk. Check the largest drive your DVR or NVR supports before ordering.

6TB hard drives for CCTV
The Seagate SkyHawk 6TB (ST6000VX008) is the surveillance drive in this range. It is a 3.5 inch SATA 6Gb/s drive rated for 24/7 operation, with a 256MB cache, a 180TB a year workload rate and a 3-year manufacturer warranty. Seagate lists it for recorders with up to 64 HD cameras.
The other 6TB drives
The Toshiba MG Series and Seagate ST6000NM0275 drives are enterprise server drives, and the pre-installed 6TB disk is a general 3.5 inch SATA drive. None of them is a surveillance drive, so we do not recommend them for a recorder.
Check your recorder first
Look in the recorder's manual for the largest disk it supports. Some older DVRs stop at 4TB. For smaller sizes, see the 4TB range or all CCTV hard drives.
