A:AnswerThis drive only runs at 5400 rpms. There are some 7200 rpm external options out their, but at a higher cost to you. here is my rule of thumb on these (if it does not say 7200 rpm in the description then its most likely a 5400 rpm unit). This is still a good drive for the average consumer.
A:AnswerIt depends on the capabilities of the security system. This hard drive should be able to handle the task, but most security systems already have a hard drive built into them.
Best to contact the security system's manufacturer for confirmation. You'll need a micro USB cable if your system doesn't have a USB 3.0 connection. Good luck!

A:AnswerI'm sorry I have no idea why it would be different from the product I purchased. My 4tb has a cord that I plug into a socket on my ups and I never questioned it. Check with the manufacturer.
