The HP 10TB Enterprise Hard Drive is a 3.5-inch drive with a SATA interface and a 7200 RPM spindle. The model reference in the product data is Mg06aca10ta. It is designed for continuous 24/7 operation in enterprise servers and storage arrays.
The data lists it for data centres, backup systems, database servers and large file stores, and for RAID arrays and high-availability storage. It also names NAS appliances and surveillance storage among its uses, and says it works with HP server platforms. It is not a SkyHawk or S300 model, so we call it an enterprise server drive.
For someone keeping a working server running, the draw is capacity in a standard bay. 10TB gives a deep archive for footage or backups in a unit that already takes 3.5-inch SATA drives, with no change to the cabling.
Copy off any footage you need to keep before you swap a drive, because formatting wipes it. Before you order, check your recorder's manual for the largest drive size it accepts and whether it lists the drive type. Fit the drive with the recorder switched off and mains power removed, then format it from the recorder's own menu so it can start recording. HP servers can have their own drive lists, so check yours.
Smaller sizes are in the Storage category.
