1. Will this work in my NVR or DVR?
   Usually yes, but confirm your recorder supports 24TB drives, has an available bay, and uses standard SATA drive connections.
   
2. Why choose Purple Pro instead of a regular desktop hard drive?
   Surveillance drives are tuned for constant recording and higher write workloads, which is exactly what security systems do all day.
   
3. How many days of recording will 24TB give me?
   It depends on camera count, resolution, FPS, codec, and motion recording settings. If you tell me those 5 details, I can estimate retention fast.
