Review: Excellent. Working well in my security DVR, get the right version! - 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.
Review: Very happy - Very easy to fit in my cctv box, so happy with it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Renewed product.
*by R***K on 21 November 2025*

Used in Reolink NVR: I like Seagate Skyhawk and this 8TB HDD was available at a reasonable price. I couldn't find any particular reason and the price of HDDs has been so variable that I wasn't that surprised. When buying HDDs the capacity doesn't aways reflect on the relative value so I use the cost per Terrabyte (Price divided by TB) and usually for a surveillance HDD it is about £20.60/TB and this was £18.40/TB. So I bought it. It came in a sealed static-protective bag. It was only then I saw "Factory Recertified" on the label. I am not unduly fussed and if it is official then fine. (I have used generic (not Seagate) renewed HDDs previously and a couple failed so I stick to new discs). No worries, I will try it out. The thing about CCTV disc fails whether used or new, and it happens very very rarely, is you cannot get a refund without falling foul of the privacy rules if you return a load of images of people to big organisation outside your Data Controller remit. I am docking one point because it took me a good five minutes trying to find the information that it was renewed. Amazon always put 'renewed' in the title so that anyone, even without specialist vocabulary. I feel duped.
