sorted byAre the surveillance branded drives any better or worse than a drive that's "optimised" for desktop use? I've read about people saying that WD's Purple drives are worth looking at - what about Toshiba's S300's? (Just looking for a 6tb+ drive for my new desktop - I'll be backing it up weekly onto a couple of smaller drives)
My understanding of the video stream optimised drives is that the optimisation is mainly in the [drive] controller not the physical mechanics of the drive, and has to be requested/enabled in the [host] controller of the surveillance device/PVR. It allows better caching of predictably interleaved streams and crucially the ability to ignore transient write errors that would otherwise fatally error on a normal drive.
It's an extension to the ATA specification, that if not explicitly enabled reverts to conventional operation. Many people advise avoiding these drives in the mistaken belief the features are permanently enabled, which would not be the case in a NAS, server or desktop. They're probably a perfectly good option depending on price.
These eBay vouchers seem to be the perfect time to buy hard drives.
This drive wouldn't be cheap at 150, given the clear downsides of the tech- but clearly HDD companies want the tech to go the same way as CRT displays.
I'd take these over the whites labels personally. (edited)
