10TB - HDD 3.5" SATA Hard Drives - Ideal for 24/7 continuous recording

10TB 3.5" SATA hard drive for CCTV storage

A 10TB drive gives DVR and NVR systems enough capacity to hold weeks of footage before older recordings need to be overwritten, which matters most on sites running continuous 24/7 recording rather than motion-triggered clips.

Key specs

• Capacity: 10TB
• Form factor: 3.5" SATA
• Spindle speed: 7200 RPM for fast, reliable read/write performance
• Interface: SATA III for high-speed data transfer
• Compatibility: works with DVR and NVR surveillance systems, plus desktops, servers, NAS devices, and external enclosures

Where it fits

For retail premises, warehouses, and office or residential blocks running multiple cameras around the clock, storage capacity is usually the first thing to size correctly when specifying a kit — undersized drives mean shorter retention windows, which can matter if footage is needed days after an incident. This drive is supplied fully installed and ready to go, so it drops straight into a new DVR/NVR kit or package without a separate fitting step.

Selecting the right drive

Match capacity to camera count, resolution, and required retention period — more cameras or higher resolution streams fill 10TB faster, so higher-channel setups may need to plan retention accordingly or add a second drive where the recorder supports it.
