2tb external and pull it apart to get the internal drive, they are just a normal seagate barracuda and its cheaper

Some documentation on why I don't recommend surveillance drives: http://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/product-content/sv35-fam/sv35.5/en-us/docs/video-vs-desktop-mb645-1-1403us.pdf

tl;dr version: they're optimized for writing files, thus making the read speeds way lower. the 24/7 operation is a plus, but it'll still screw you over on read times.

I'd go with WD red aswell
