If the above devices are no longer available or cannot be purchased in your area, you can refer to the parameters of the hard disk recommended above for purchase or refer to the following for purchase.
Hard disk main parameters | |
Hard disk Type | Enterprise-level>Monitoring-level>Desktop-level Enterprise-level: Enterprise-level hard disks have the highest reliability. They generally have a special shockproof chip, a stronger error correction rate, and are suitable for 24*7 work intensity. According to current technology, the unrecoverable check error rate (Uncorrectable ECC) is generally 10^15 Monitoring-level: Monitoring-level hard disks are generally used in the fields of streaming media playback and video monitoring, and are suitable for 24*7 work intensity. However, the overall reliability is lower than that of enterprise-level hard disks, and the Uncorrectable ECC is generally 10^14, which is an order of magnitude lower than that of enterprise-level hard disks Desktop-level: Desktop-level hard disks are used for home use and are suitable for 8*5 work intensity, that is, they are not suitable for long-term continuous work, and the Uncorrectable ECC is generally 10^14 |
Interface Type | The current mainstream is the SATA interface SATA2.0: Maximum transfer rate 300M/s (3Gb/s) SATA3.0: Maximum transfer rate 600M/s (6Gb/s) |
Cache | The larger the cache, the higher the efficiency and the better the performance. The larger the hard disk cache capacity, the better, and the larger the cache hard disk life is also better. |
Rotating speed | The higher the hard disk speed, the faster the hard disk reads. A higher speed can reduce the average seek time and actual read and write time of the hard disk. As the speed increases, the heat generated by the hard disk will also increase, and its stability will be reduced to a certain extent. |
Single disk capacity | A hard disk with a large single-disk capacity can greatly improve the hard disk's read and write speed. The single-disk capacity plays a vital role in the size of the hard disk, and the single-disk capacity directly determines the hard disk's continuous data transfer rate. Under the same hard disk speed, a hard disk with a larger single-disk capacity can read more files in the same time than a hard disk with a smaller single-disk capacity, so the hard disk's transfer rate will also be faster Calculation method: total capacity/number of disks |

In the old list, you can find some models that are still suitable for Milesight NVRs. While these drives may not offer the same level of performance and reliability as the latest recommended models, they remain viable options worth considering.
