Ubiquiti UACC-HDD-E-16TB Enterprise 3.5" SATA Hard Drive
Overview
The Ubiquiti UACC-HDD-E-16TB is a 16TB enterprise-class 3.5-inch SATA drive built for continuous-duty recording in network video recorders and Ubiquiti storage appliances. Rated for 550 TB/year workload and backed by a 2.5-million-hour MTBF, this drive handles 24/7 surveillance duty without the thermal or reliability penalties of consumer-grade media. The 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers 6 Gb/s SATA throughput — sufficient for multi-stream HD and 4K playback without bottlenecking your NVR's read performance. Operating range of 5–60°C accommodates standard server rooms and non-climate-controlled equipment closets alike.
Compatibility
This drive integrates with Ubiquiti UniFi Video, Dream Machine, and compatible NVR platforms requiring 3.5-inch SATA storage expansion. The dual 5V/12V power input accepts standard server PSU connectors, and the SATA 6 Gb/s interface connects directly to any NVR mainboard with available SATA slots. Verify your appliance supports hot-swappable 3.5-inch bays before ordering — some compact Ubiquiti models use 2.5-inch or proprietary form factors.
Installation Notes
Mount in a standard 3.5-inch bay using the included brackets or chassis rail mounts. The 720-gram weight suits standard server chassis without reinforcement. Ensure adequate airflow around the drive — sustained operation above 60°C voids the enterprise rating. Connect power to the dual 5V/12V supply (check your NVR PSU pinout) and SATA data to an available controller port. No firmware configuration required; the drive presents itself as raw SATA media to your NVR's storage management software. For RAID or drive pooling, defer to your NVR's built-in storage controller settings.
