Western Digital WD10EURX 1TB AV GP SATA 6Gb/s 3.5" Internal Drive

The WD10EURX is a solid workhorse for video surveillance and media server duty. It's part of WD's AV-GP line, which means the drive is tuned to handle continuous writes from multiple camera streams without dropping frames. The 64MB cache and SATA 6Gb/s interface keep transfers moving along, and the lower power draw is a plus for equipment that runs all day and night in a closet or rack. At 1TB, it's a modest size for today's 4K cameras. A single high-res stream can eat through that in a couple of weeks of continuous recording, so it's best for smaller setups or as a replacement drive in an existing DVR. There's nothing fancy here - no encryption, no RAID-optimized features - just a reliable internal drive for a specific job. 99, this is a very reasonable price for an AV-rated drive from a major brand. If you need a dependable swap-in for a surveillance recorder or a media center that archives a lot of video, this is a good buy. For general desktop use, you can get a larger consumer drive for similar money, so stick to its intended purpose.
