Needed to replace the HDD in my 10 year+ old ZMODO security system DVR. This one did the job with no problems. Simply took out the old HDD then put this new one and formatted. No problems of any kind. Works perfectly.

Worked 1 month, now won't mount or accept disk repair - fortunately I have backup disk. Filled with personal data - must destroy. No option offered but return. Can't find out if they'll accept with a railroad spike driven through it. I'll stick with Seagate.

Eu gosto desses discos para fazer armazenamento secundário, enquanto o sistema operacional permanece no SSD. Após instalar esse disco ele foi reconhecido pela BIOS, mas não pelo sistema operacional. É preciso ter atenção a esse detalhe, pois os consumidores podem pensar que se trata de um defeito, o que não é o caso. O disco rigido só precisa de uma rápida configuração para ser reconhecido pelo sistema e assim ser corretamente utilizado.
