- Manufacturer: Consistent Infosystems
- Product: 2 TB SATA Internal Hard Drive
- Capacity: 2 TB
- Form Factor: 3.5 inch — desktop and DVR/NVR size
- Interface: SATA
- Designed For: Desktop PCs and surveillance recorders
- Type: Internal drive — fits inside the machine, not a portable drive
Consistent 2TB SATA is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive for desktop computers and surveillance recorders — the drive that goes inside the machine, not a portable one you carry.
For CCTV specifically, capacity translates directly into how far back you can look. Recording time depends on camera count, resolution and frame rate, but 2 TB is a common choice for a small system where a couple of weeks of footage is the requirement. Work out your own figure before buying — most NVR interfaces will estimate recording days for a given disk size, and it is worth checking rather than guessing.
One thing to check before ordering: your recorder or PC must have a free 3.5-inch bay and a spare SATA connection. Many small NVRs take only one drive, so if yours is already occupied this is a replacement rather than an addition.
Key Features
- 2 TB capacity: Suits a small CCTV system or a desktop needing storage headroom
- 3.5-inch SATA: The standard internal format for desktops and DVR/NVR units
- Internal drive: Installed inside the machine, so nothing to knock, unplug or lose
- Continuous-use application: Suited to a recorder that writes around the clock

Before You Order
- Check you have a free 3.5-inch bay and a spare SATA port. Many small NVRs take only one drive — if yours is occupied, this replaces it rather than adding to it
- This is an internal drive. It is not portable and has no USB connection; it fits inside a computer or recorder
- Estimate your recording days first. Most NVR interfaces will calculate this for a given disk size based on your cameras — check rather than assume
- Surveillance is a continuous-write workload, which is harder on a drive than desktop use. If your system runs 24/7 with many cameras, a purpose-built surveillance drive is worth considering
- A single drive is not a backup. Anything irreplaceable should exist in two places
1) Will this fit my CCTV recorder?
It needs a free 3.5-inch bay and a spare SATA connection. Most DVRs and NVRs take 3.5-inch SATA drives, but many small units hold only one — check whether yours is already occupied.
2) How many days of footage will 2 TB hold?
It depends entirely on camera count, resolution and frame rate. Four 1080p cameras store far longer than sixteen 4K ones. Most NVR interfaces estimate recording days for a given disk size — use that rather than a rule of thumb.
3) Is this a portable drive I can carry?
No. It is an internal 3.5-inch drive that fits inside a desktop or recorder. It has no USB connection and no enclosure.
4) Can I use it in a laptop?
No. Laptops take 2.5-inch drives; this is the larger 3.5-inch desktop format.
5) Does a hard drive count as a backup?
No, and it is worth being clear about. A single drive is one point of failure — all drives eventually fail. Anything irreplaceable should exist in at least two separate places.
