Got a CCTV box to fill? That's its home. It turns up when you sort everything by price per TB, which is why it's labelled here. In a NAS you'd be running it outside what Seagate rates it for, and for an array you want a drive that's rated for one. Seagate backs it for five years, which is a long time in drive terms.
!Watch out for
Seagate doesn't rate it for NAS use at all, which rules it out for an array as far as we're concerned. At 7,200 rpm it's from the louder, warmer class. Fine in a cupboard, less fun on a desk.
No Backblaze failure rate for this one. They don't run enough of them, if any, for a figure worth quoting. Seagate's datasheet puts it at 28 dB idle and 32 dB seeking. Power draw is 6.7 W idle and 8.2 W working on Seagate's figures, or 59 kWh a year if it spends the whole year idling.
