Is it the right drive?
An enterprise drive suits a large recorder or a server where lots of cameras write at once. Check that your recorder lists it as compatible. Some recorder makers publish approved drive lists, and the capacity limit also matters: not every recorder reads a 14TB disk.
Ask us before ordering if you need noise or power figures, and make sure the cabinet has some airflow. Before ordering several, confirm the recorder lists this model or the Seagate Exos range as supported, and keep the model number ST14000NM001G to hand when you ask.
Other options
For one-bay recorders, a Toshiba S300 or Seagate SkyHawk is made for recording. For NAS use, look at the IronWolf Pro. See all sizes in the 14TB drives or the storage category.
