Seagate 2TB - HDD 3.5" SATA Hard Drives - Ideal for 24/7 continuous recording

The Seagate ST2000VM003 is a 2TB, 3.5" SATA hard drive purpose-built for continuous DVR/NVR recording rather than desktop use.

Surveillance drives differ from standard desktop discs in how they handle sustained write cycles — this is a key factor when specifying storage for a system that records around the clock. Note that the source material lists this drive at both 5900RPM (Seagate's own designation) and 7200RPM (this listing) — worth checking the drive label against your recorder's spec if speed-matching within a RAID array or multi-bay system.

Key specs

• Capacity: 2TB
• Interface: Uses SATA III so data can move quickly between the recorder and the disc.
• Form factor: 3.5" internal HDD
• MPN: ST2000VM003
• Target use: Built for CCTV DVR/NVR recording with round-the-clock, 24/7 continuous writing.

Where it fits

Compatible with DVR and NVR surveillance systems generally, making it a straightforward fit for retail, warehouse, office, or residential-block installs where a recorder needs internal storage added or a failed drive replaced. It also works in desktops, servers, NAS devices, and external enclosures — useful for installers standardising a single drive spec across mixed equipment fleets rather than stocking multiple part numbers.

Procurement note

Drives ship fitted and ready to go where ordered alongside a CCTV kit or package, simplifying installation day logistics for trade buyers.
