💯 Reliable and Fast MaxDigitalData 4TB HDD for Surveillance CCTV DVR with 2-Year Warranty Review

The people I dealt with were fine! Hard drive - no. I bought it for my surveillance system so it always works. The FIRST was pretty loud and hot. I changed it to SECOND because I was concerned about its durability and the high temperatures that would fry the hard drive and monitoring electronics. The SECOND was worse. It sounded like it was banging the read/write heads about once a minute and the temperature on the top of the drive was about 120°F in an open, well-ventilated room. I have a…

I bought this drive because all my external drives were full and I needed more storage space. I've been using a similar 1TB drive for my docked security camera for over a year and it works flawlessly. This drive I just got has 4TB capacity for viewing, it should last forever, just store and watch movies on it. I will use it on the same dock that has another open memory slot. This is a WavLink disc duplicator that I bought from Revain last year for about $20 and has also proven to be convenient…

I bought this drive to store more sci-fi TV shows as my 2TB was full. It's quiet, but runs a bit on the warm side, but within tolerance. I did something stupid when initializing and told Windows to make MBR instead of GPT.OOPS! Windows 10 only saw a 2TB partition and a 1.6TB partition that was inaccessible. It was fixed with Disk Management, converted from MBR to GPT and it showed as 4TB. This is a new drive as you can see in the SMART image. Watch data but no date of manufacture. It never…

Bought this drive on November 8th, 2020. Canceled since May 9th, 2021. And every now and then my system wouldn't boot because SMART disk detection detected disk problems. It has been marked as new with a 2 year warranty. Yes, that is when you contact the seller. This drive also got very hot, not sure what the tolerance is for its internals, but that might not be good for it. I've only used this drive to store games that I don't play often. And yet it didn't work. If you're monitoring with these

Update: My original 5 star rating has dropped to 3 stars. I found that my security dash cam could not see the MaxDigitalData drive during a reboot after it had been running for a while. After turning off the drive and allowing it to cool down, everything is fine again. Unfortunately the drive gets very hot and my DVR doesn't have a fan to cool it down. I can't risk running my security system with this problem so I went back to using an old WD Purple 1TB drive. There is a forced air fan (the…

After a few months of use, I have decided to change my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars because I believe this hard drive does not meet the manufacturer's or seller's specifications or is of poor quality. Recently my neighbor's truck trailer was stolen from his driveway, my security cameras unfortunately caught this incident, now I understand that although the information is stored on the hard drive, the hard drive has major playback problems aside from making horrible noises . It is very slow to

The block is a replacement for the failed block. On arrival he is dead. Use this in an 8 channel CCTV system. The first died two months later. The second block of DOA. The block received differs from the photo. Has a sticker that covers everything that should be put on the original sticker and does not contain any compliance information. There's a reason it's so cheap and comes with a two-year warranty.
