Seagate SkyHawk AI 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk AI is a 16 TB internal hard drive engineered for continuous surveillance deployments. It provides high-capacity storage for 24/7 video recording and concurrent AI-enabled data analysis. This drive is designed to support workloads from up to 64 HD camera streams while maintaining data integrity. Its construction is suited for multi-drive Network Video Recorder (NVR) systems and other professional security installations that require high reliability.

Performance is managed by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache, which facilitate sustained data transfer rates of up to 250 MB/s. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help mitigate the effects of vibration in multi-bay enclosures, ensuring consistent read/write operations. The drive is rated for a workload of 550 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours. It also includes S.M.A.R.T. support for proactive drive health monitoring.
