Surveillance Hard Drive Shoot-Out: WD And Seagate Square Off

[Fedor]

Drew, do you know, or if not, would it be possible to find out, whether these drives have TLER? It would be very useful to know in case one wanted to use them in a RAID environment.

Yes, the WD has TLER and the Seagate has ERC. They are both designed to operate in RAID environments.

Great, thanks a lot for the reply!

TLER is in fact turned on WD Purple drives.

A lot of the security cam systems are solely for MSA or insurance prerequisites. Therefore, bare minimum will suffice as long as it meets compliance requirements.

In reality, what actual physical hardware is vulnerable to theft containing valuable IP that isn't in a room/facility requiring multiple ID authentication. Cams are just a crime of convenience deterrent, for the most part, so <20fps is more than sufficient.

A SSD cam system doesn't provide any tangible benefit for most corp or personal consumers.
