Seagate Skyhawk 6TB Video Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache for DVR NVR Security Camera System with in-House Rescue Services (ST6000VXZ09/009)

So far this hard drive is working great for my NVR. I ran Smart checks after I installed it and everything checked out.

As with tech I'm always worried about dead on arrival stuff coming into the front door. However, Seagate drives have never done me wrong. This drive is no exception to their excellence in making hard drives. Its got good speeds, formats fast, and is perfect dimensions for my Unifi system. Great value as always from sea gate.

Works great

Using in a Unifi Dream Machine Pro, currently have 2135 power on hours and seems to work well so far. Warranty is good at 3 years.

Purchased to replace the old video 2TB HDD for a video 6TB HDD to gain more storage space on the NVR. Was easy to install and setup initially and all connections were easy to identify. Everything was working great as I had data from August 13, 2025, to October 4, 2025, but the new 6TB HDD only lasted 2 months and then would not read or write data. I tried to recover the data from the HDD but it will not even load when plugged into my PC.

After two failed fraudulent drives from the WD Purple line ordered from Amazon I finally found one that appears to be both legit and functioning. The first WD Purple I ordered showed 0 power on hours but clearly had been used previously. It was loud, clicked a lot and failed within two weeks. The replacement drive I ordered (That appeared to come from the "Western Digital Store") showed up and wasn't recognized by my system as a WD drive but rather an HGST drive...a model that was manufactured from 2014-2015. The drive had tool marks that had been painted over with black paint and the body also matched HGST drives from that era. You could even see sticker residue where something was removed and a WD Purple label was placed on it. The serial number was fake and also didn't match what SMART reported. WD had no record of either serial. This drive formatted immediately, showed up in new manufacturer packaging and the serial number checks out on the Seagate website. I've used several purple drives in the past with good results but it seems like Amazon has an issue with the resellers on this site so I would 100% avoid buying the WD line on here for now and go with this seagate drive instead.

Very good price, it's very useful for my mass storage needs, I really like the speed it handles

Needed a good cheap hard drive for my jellyfin server and this did the job
