Seagate SkyHawk 3.5" 8TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk ST8000VX004 is an 8 TB internal hard drive engineered specifically for use in surveillance systems. It utilizes a standard 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a SATA 6 Gbit/s interface, ensuring broad compatibility with NVR and DVR setups. The drive is constructed to operate reliably in 24/7 environments, providing consistent data storage for high-definition security camera feeds. Its design is optimized to handle the continuous write-intensive workloads characteristic of modern video surveillance, making it suitable for multi-drive configurations.

Performance is managed by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache, which work together to facilitate efficient data processing and smooth video playback. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help maintain stable performance in multi-bay enclosures by mitigating vibration from adjacent drives. The drive’s firmware is optimized for surveillance, supporting a high number of simultaneous camera streams without frame loss. A Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1,000,000 hours underscores a design focused on long-term operational endurance and data integrity.
