i-PRO CANISTER-NX3 18TB HDD Storage Canister
The i-PRO CANISTER-NX3/18TB is a factory-configured 18TB hot-swap hard disk drive canister engineered for the i-PRO WJ-NX310 series network video recorder. This surveillance-grade storage module combines a dedicated NVR hard drive with an i-PRO hot-swap carrier tray, delivering tool-free installation and replacement without system disassembly or recording interruption—essential for maintaining continuous security coverage in active surveillance deployments.
Key Features
- 18TB surveillance-rated hard drive pre-installed in hot-swap carrier tray
- Zero-downtime drive installation and replacement while NVR remains powered
- Designed specifically for 24/7 continuous recording on WJ-NX310 series NVRs
- Automatic power and data connection upon secure slide-in installation
- Surveillance-class drive rated for multi-stream concurrent recording workloads
- Enhanced reliability for sustained sequential write patterns typical of video recording
Surveillance-Rated Storage Design
Unlike consumer-grade drives, the 18TB hard drive in this canister is engineered for surveillance applications. It handles the demanding requirements of 24/7 operation with multiple simultaneous video streams, sustained sequential writes, and continuous multi-stream access without the premature wear, vibration sensitivity, and thermal degradation that compromise standard desktop drives in NVR environments.
Hot-Swap Installation and Maintenance
The hot-swap carrier tray architecture enables drive installation, replacement, and capacity expansion while your NVR continues recording. Simply slide the canister into the drive bay, secure the locking mechanism, and power and data connections are established automatically. This zero-downtime capability is critical for surveillance systems where any recording gap creates a security vulnerability.

The CANISTER-NX3/18TB addresses a critical pain point in surveillance system maintenance: storage expansion and drive replacement without downtime. The hot-swap design eliminates the need to power down the NVR, a significant advantage in 24/7 security operations. The surveillance-rated drive specification ensures this canister delivers the sustained performance required for multi-stream video workloads.
Organizations deploying WJ-NX310 systems should consider this canister for both initial configuration and future capacity upgrades.
