Working very well in my custom designed CCTV hybrid DVR. Review of Seagate Skyhawk 4TB ST4000VX016.Yes its a bit noisy seeking, but mine is in a cabinet in the garage so I don’t mind at all, it might be a shade annoying in a quiet environment though.Performance is excellent, it holds up a constant fairly high record rate with easy, all the streams are smooth. Whilst also giving me really quick seeking and replay at the same time, the system just feels smoother and snappier.Beware, there is another version around that is a tiny bit cheaper, the ST4000VXZ16 – note the ‘Z’ in the code, it has only a quarter of the cache of this version and other changes. For a couple of quid more, this one (without the ‘Z’) is the one you want.To early to tell on life expectancy, these things do have a really hard life in this application so you have to be a bit realistic.

Works in my Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE (UDM-SE) perfectly, no issues. Well apart from the information message that persists in the console “Please verify that your HDD is a CMR drive by checking the device’s spec sheet or the manufacturer website.” but I have checked and confirmed this drive is a CMR drive so it can be safely ignored.
