i-PRO WJ-HXE410/162T18 9-Drive Storage Extension Unit
The i-PRO WJ-HXE410/162T18 is an enterprise-class storage expansion unit engineered to extend the recording capacity of i-PRO NVR systems. With 162TB of raw storage across nine drives, this external expansion chassis enables multi-year video retention for large-scale surveillance deployments spanning multiple sites, campuses, and municipal networks where continuous high-resolution recording from hundreds of cameras demands substantial, reliable storage infrastructure.
Key Features
- 162TB total storage capacity across 9 enterprise-grade drives
- Purpose-built expansion chassis for 24/7 surveillance recording
- Seamless integration with i-PRO NVR systems via direct connection
- Optimized for sustained multi-stream, high-bitrate video capture
- Unified management through host NVR interface
- RAID configuration and automated drive health monitoring
- External form factor for flexible deployment and scalability
Storage Architecture & Performance
The WJ-HXE410/162T18 houses nine enterprise-grade hard disk drives within a robust expansion chassis specifically designed for continuous surveillance workloads. The storage subsystem is optimized for the sequential write operations characteristic of multi-stream video recording, delivering sustained throughput required for simultaneous high-bitrate capture from numerous IP cameras without frame drops or recording gaps. This architecture ensures reliable performance during peak recording periods across large deployments.
NVR Integration & Management
Designed for seamless integration with i-PRO WJ-NX series network video recorders, the unit connects directly to the host NVR and appears as additional recording volume within the VMS interface. Storage management, RAID configuration, health monitoring, and drive failure alerts are all handled through the host NVR's unified management interface, eliminating the need for separate storage administration tools and simplifying IT operations for teams managing large-scale deployments.
Applications
- Multi-site enterprise surveillance networks requiring extended retention
- Municipal and government facilities with continuous monitoring requirements
- Large campus deployments across educational and corporate facilities
- Critical infrastructure monitoring where archival retention is mandated
- High-camera-count installations demanding scalable storage capacity

The WJ-HXE410/162T18 addresses a critical pain point in enterprise surveillance: storage scalability without operational complexity. By extending i-PRO NVR capacity via direct connection and unified management, organizations avoid fragmented storage architectures that complicate administration and troubleshooting. The 162TB capacity is engineered for multi-year retention cycles typical of compliance-driven deployments in municipal, educational, and corporate sectors.
The external expansion form factor provides flexibility for phased deployments and future capacity additions without disrupting existing recording infrastructure. For IT teams managing hundreds of cameras across multiple locations, the consolidated management interface through the host NVR reduces training requirements and administrative overhead compared to standalone storage systems.
