Footnotes & Disclaimers:

1 - As used for storage capacity, 1TB = one trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less, depending on the operating environment.

2 - Workload Rate is the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. The workload rate is annualised (TB transferred ? (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.

3 - Projected values. When final, MTBF and AFR specifications will be based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions, with a workload of 220TB/year and a drive temperature of 40°C. MTBF and AFR will be divided above these parameters, up to 550TB writes per year and 65°C drive temperature. MTBF and AFR ratings do not predict an individual drive's reliability or constitute a warranty.

4 - Single stream per camera @ 3.2Mbps (1080p, H.265, 25 fps). Results may vary depending on camera resolution, file format, frames per second, software, system settings, video quality, and other factors.
