The Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM010 is a 1TB internal hard drive in the 3.5-inch size, with a SATA III interface, a 7200 RPM spindle and a 64MB cache. The housing is silver, and Seagate's text says it is manufactured in Thailand.
Barracuda is Seagate's desktop range, so it is not a SkyHawk surveillance drive and we do not describe it as one. The product data lists DVR and NVR recorders among its uses, alongside desktops, servers, NAS enclosures and external cases, so it can serve as a plain replacement part where the recorder accepts it.
1TB is a common size for a small CCTV system. It is a practical step up from a 500GB drive for a recorder with a handful of cameras, and it is the same 3.5-inch bay size as the drive it would replace.
Make a note of the old drive's capacity and connector before you remove it, so the new one matches. 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.
For longer recording history, the Storage category lists drives in larger sizes.
