ACTi PHDD-3C13 128GB mSATA SSD System Drive Upgrade for INR-340
Overview
The ACTi PHDD-3C13 is a replacement system drive upgrade designed specifically for the ACTi INR-340 network video recorder. Installing this 128GB mSATA SSD migrates the INR-340's operating system to Windows 10 — a targeted upgrade for integrators managing aging INR-340 deployments where the existing system drive needs replacement or where an OS-level refresh is required to maintain software compatibility and supportability. If you're running an INR-340 on an older OS and need to bring it current, the PHDD-3C13 is the factory-matched component to do it.
This is not a general-purpose storage expansion — it is a system drive that carries the Windows 10 OS image validated for the INR-340 platform. Sourced factory-new and genuine from ACTi's storage peripherals and devices line, it slots directly into the INR-340's mSATA interface without improvised media substitutions or OS licensing questions. The drive ships from Taiwan under ACTi's standard manufacturer warranty coverage.
Key Features
- 128GB mSATA SSD Form Factor: The mSATA interface is native to the INR-340 mainboard — no adapters, no bracket modifications. 128GB is sized for the OS image with headroom, keeping the system partition separate from your surveillance storage pools.
- Windows 10 OS Image Pre-Loaded: The drive arrives with the INR-340-validated Windows 10 image already written. You're not sourcing a retail OS license or imaging media yourself — the upgrade path is defined and factory-tested for this specific NVR hardware.
- Rack-Mounted NVR Compatibility: The INR-340 is a rack-mount appliance, so this upgrade slots into an existing rack installation without any physical reconfiguration of the enclosure or cabling.
- 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty: ACTi covers the PHDD-3C13 under its standard manufacturer warranty, which matters when you're committing this component to a long-term recorder deployment.
- Country of Origin — Taiwan: Manufactured in Taiwan, consistent with ACTi's hardware production standard for its NVR peripheral line.
Integration & Compatibility
The PHDD-3C13 (often searched as PHDD 3C13) is validated exclusively for the ACTi INR-340 NVR. Do not attempt to use this drive in other ACTi NVR models or third-party recorders — the OS image is hardware-matched and ACTi does not publish cross-compatibility for this component. Before ordering, confirm your INR-340 unit's current system drive status and that the NVR is eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade path. For broader ACTi NVR and storage peripheral options, browse the ACTi surveillance line or the network video recorder category. Integrators evaluating long-term storage architecture should also reference a storage and retention planning guide before committing to drive-level upgrades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What NVR does the PHDD-3C13 upgrade?
A: The PHDD-3C13 is validated specifically for the ACTi INR-340 network video recorder. It is not listed as compatible with other ACTi NVR models.
Q: What operating system does the PHDD-3C13 install?
A: The drive upgrades the INR-340 to Windows 10. The OS image is pre-loaded on the 128GB mSATA SSD at the factory.
Q: What is the storage capacity of the PHDD-3C13?
A: The PHDD-3C13 is a 128GB mSATA SSD. This capacity is sized for the system OS image, not for surveillance video storage.
Q: What warranty does the PHDD-3C13 carry?
A: The PHDD-3C13 is covered under ACTi's 3-year manufacturer warranty.
Q: Can I use the PHDD-3C13 in an NVR other than the INR-340?
A: No. The PHDD-3C13 is purpose-built for the INR-340 platform. The OS image is hardware-matched to that unit. Using it in other devices is not supported and not recommended.
The PHDD-3C13 is a narrow-scope component — a 128GB mSATA SSD pre-loaded with the INR-340-validated Windows 10 image. I've seen integrators try to substitute a generic mSATA drive and image it themselves; that path creates OS licensing exposure and voids ACTi's support position on the recorder. The PHDD-3C13 closes both problems with one factory-sourced part.
Technical Highlights:
- 128GB mSATA SSD: Correctly sized for the OS partition on the INR-340 — large enough to hold the Windows 10 image with update headroom, without wasting budget on oversized media that doesn't expand available video storage.
- Pre-Loaded Windows 10 Image: Hardware-matched to the INR-340 at the factory, which means no retail OS licensing, no driver hunting, and a known-good validated build rather than a community-imaged workaround.
- 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Covers the drive itself under ACTi's standard warranty term — relevant when this component is going into a rack-mounted recorder expected to run 24/7 for years.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your INR-340 is eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade path before ordering — ACTi may have hardware revision requirements that affect compatibility at the unit level.
- The 128GB capacity is system-only. It does not add to the INR-340's surveillance video storage pool — plan your video storage separately via the recorder's dedicated drive bays.
The PHDD-3C13 is the right call for an INR-340 deployment where the system drive has failed or where OS supportability is forcing an upgrade cycle — not a general-purpose storage add-on, and not interchangeable with other ACTi NVR models.
