Seagate ST2000VM003 Pipeline HD 2 TB 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - Black

Have used Seagate stuff in the past and this has not let me down. Installed quite easily into the box of a home CCTV system and after formatting for first time use, it works perfectly. The low price matches the low price I paid for the CCTV.. so well matched, but I know Seagate quality is good. The storage capacity is "gb and will be more than adequate for what I want/need... will store tons of data.

I fitted this to my CCTV system to increase storage and it's been working perfectly 24/7 for quite a while now so it gets a solid 5 star review from me.

We have had a Swann Home CCTV system for around 10 years which has run more or less 24 hours a day none stop. This alone speaks of the quality and durability of Seagate hard drives. I hadn't realised that the CCTV system had a Seagate drive until it finally wasn't being read and I had to dismantle the unit. It's great that I have been able to get an almost identical replacement for the original hard drive. Removal and installation of the new drive was easy, just four small bolt and two cable to deal with. The new drive was detected by the system immediately and after formatting, it worked perfectly as expected. It saved me having to replace an old but perfectly good CCTV set up. Nice they are still around. UPDATE: It's stopped working and the CCTV will not boot up. I have fitted an old 16gb drive and that works, so this new one is faulty.

Although The Hard Drives in my delivery package turned out to be OK They may have suffered serious internal damage due to being dropped through the letterbox as a drop of 3feet can be very detrimental to a hard drive's life span. So Please Amazon tell your delivery team to be extra careful when delivering hard drives to customers.

The disk is working well as storage for big files, while my operating system disk is a smaller SSD. As said in the headline, value per gigabyte is good. It could be better packaged - it was in a skinny bag that could be posted, so dropped about 3 feet from my letter box onto my concrete porch floor! I'd dropped a coat onto the floor, just in case. In hindsight, I'd have put several down! Anyway, the drive survived, and is healthy - I've checked.

I purchased a Humax HDR-FOX T2 Freeview recorder with 1TB disk from Amazon mid 2013 and the internal hard disk has recently developed errors (bad sectors). Symptoms were: * failed recordings: recordings not starting at all or not completing or corrupted recordings (blocky, like weak signal) * FFwarding through recordings was like navigating through treacle..slow and unpredictable * audible clicking sounds coming from the disk on occasion So had no choice but to replace the disk or get a new box. A new disk was the much cheaper (and my preferred) option. I have installed the custom firmware available for free from hummy.tv on my HDR-FOX T2. A very quick and simple process that makes using and managing the T2 a lot better (it has a full web interface as well for managing the T2). But installing the custom firmware also means that you can simply swap the old disk for this new 2TB one, and format it via the HDR-FOX T2 menu using the remote control without having to mess about partitioning it. The whole process is about a 10 to 15 minute job in fact. PLEASE NOTE: YOU SHOULD UPDATE FIRMWARE TO CUSTOM FIRMWARE FREE FROM HUMMY.TV BEFORE ADDING A 2TB HARD DRIVE. If you do not update to custom firmware then you need buy the 1TB version of this disk instead. The process to remove the old disk is very easy indeed. 1. Unplug. 2. There are only 3 screws keeping the 'lid' on . Remove them 3. Inside the PVR there is a plastic disk caddy holding the disk in place. There are four screws, one in each corner. Undo them. 4. Unplug the fan header from the motherboard 5. Lift the caddy upward and unplug the power and SATA strip (it's in one piece) from the hard disk. 6. Unscrew the four compression screws holding the hard disk in the caddy (2 on each side) 7. remove old hard disk Fitting the new hard disk is the reverse of the above. The old disk is a Seagate Pipeline drive, and this new drive is also a Pipeline disk, just bigger, and designed for PVRs.

Seams to be doing exactly what it’s supposed to be. Worth the money. So far,so good 😁

This item works well and made the performances better

Super content, Seagate c'est du sérieux! En + je l'ai eu a bon prix!

Replaced my burnt one and it's perfect.

Marca excelente e conhecida. Não tem erros

Bought this disk in 2023. After 2 years and 4 months the disk crashed. I will never buy this disk again. 😭

Pour l'instant les deux disques fonctionnent bien dans un boîtier RAID
