Seagate HDD 400GB 7200 IDE 3.5.
Not every drive is meant to run around the clock. In a surveillance recorder or a server the disk writes continuously, so a series designed for that load lasts far longer than a desktop model. Beyond capacity, check the interface, the physical size that fits the case and the rotation speed; mechanical drives suit bulk storage, while the operating system is better placed on an SSD.
