## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work in a annke system**
A: Hi Yes, I installed this Purple WD Hard Drive in my Annke 4 Camera DVR box in January. Easy straightforward install - open case, click the flying cables inside the case to the drive (it’s obvious where they go), and secure the drive inside the case. Been trouble free since Jan. 19. Hope this isn’t the ‘kiss of death’ 😉. D

**Q: After How many days will start rewriting itself?**
A: Good morning, 

depends on the number of cameras connected to the DVR, their resolution and the type of recording you make (H24 or motion detection), and the video compression of your DVR. 

Cordially

**Q: I’m planning on using this to increase storage on a swann cctv system, i take it this will be ok?**
A: In my opinion, yes.
This should be checked in the swann manual.

**Q: Where do I get a power cable for this?**
A: Just Google 'Sata Power Cable'. You will get many hits.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Wrong specs
*by S***S on 9 July 2025*

States 7200rpm but is actually 5640rpm

### ⭐⭐⭐ Packaging horror show
*by S***E on 21 August 2020*

I have bought 4 of these drives. The first a 4TB was nice and quiet for five months then started making the loud clicking noises. I changed it and paid for an 8TB. Like the 4TB it arrived in a thin foil wrapper and a snug card envelope. No bubblewrap, box, nothing. It made grinding noises and was like sitting on an aircraft listening to the air-con. I exchanged it for another 8TB and it too was poorly packaged and noisy with constant clicking. Amazon tech said the 8TB ought to be as quiet as the 4TB; however, a closer look and 4TB runs at 5400 rpm, but once you get to 8TB they jump to 7200 rpm, which has to be noisier. I gave up and ordered a 6TB (biggest at 5400 rpm) in the retail packaging and some other items to guarantee it also came in a larger box. 6TB is as quiet as the 4TB, but I will not gamble with the cheaper one with the zero protection again.

### ⭐ The mind boggles
*by M***P on 17 August 2020*

Ok for a star the drive works...It's going in an Unifi Protect 4 bay NVR. It will be part of a raid5. I still need to test it.I'm just so cross, It turned up late. It was packaged without even bubble wrap.So I don't have a lot of faith in it lasting. see image.Next time I would buy from someone els.
