The detailed performance, environmental, reliability and mechanical figures above are taken from Toshiba's DT02-V Series Product Overview.
* Toshiba states that support for up to 32 surveillance cameras is based on performance simulation using HD cameras at a 4 Mbit/s rate; actual results can vary according to cameras, hardware/software, compression, resolution, frame rate and other settings. Toshiba specifies the MTTF/AFR figures under defined 24/7 surveillance usage, temperature and workload conditions.
Practical Use Scenarios
The DT02ABA200V 2TB Surveillance HDD is designed for Network Video Recorders (NVRs), entry- and mid-range SNVR and SDVR platforms, and hybrid analog/IP SDVR systems. It is particularly suited to installations requiring continuous multi-stream video storage rather than a general-purpose desktop workload.
Potential applications include residential CCTV systems, small-business surveillance installations, retail security recording, office monitoring and compatible multi-camera NVR systems, provided the host surveillance equipment supports the drive's interface and recording technology.
