<Compatible Hard Disk Drive> There are a several product segments in hard drive industry such as Enterprise grade, Surveillance grade, Green series and the other consumer desktop hard drives. NUUO recommends system designers to choose Enterprise grade or Surveillance grade drives to ensure high storage stability and performance. 24 x 7 operational capabilities are also important because your surveillance system is running around the clock.
Enterprise grade drives are recommended when the configuration of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is required. Furthermore, to avoid vibration issue, please consider the maximum HDD number per storage system for system vibration tolerance, for example, if there are more than 5+ HDDs in this storage system, please choose Enterprise grade drives or any HDD that has built-in RV Sensor. Enterprise grade drives are also highly recommended for rackmount storage system or any industrial environments where are always full of vibrations.
Green series hard drives should never be used with NUUO recorders to avoid data lost due to long
wake up time from a sleeping drive. Consumer desktop series hard drives should be avoided with NUUO recorders because it's suitable for 8x5 environments only, it's different from your surveillance needs. The following HDD have been tested and approved of use with NUUO products (Mainconsole, NVRmini 2, NVRSolo, NUUO Crystal™ & Titan NVR). Enterprise
