Make sure the HDD is CMR and not SMR and you shouldn't have any problems in things like DVR/NVR/etc.

List of WD CMR and SMR hard drives (HDD) NAS Compares

Skyhawk Lite are SMR on the 1tb and 2tb models.

Edit: To explain why, SMR is ****, it requires periods of inactivity to consolidate data, otherwise they throw a hard IO error and most devices will then mark the drive as failed.

SMR is fine as long as you’re not handling constant sustained write IO.

If you are, invest in CMR before your device flags it bad.

I'll see about a firmware update for the DVR that may un**** the shingling, then try connecting it in a windows box. Not too worried as the replacement should be here tomorrow. I've got another DVR connected in the meantime.

I dunno if most people will remember but back in the day there were hard drives called Maxtor, and they were ****ing solid af. I loved them. The second Seagate purchased them I moved the **** on.
