Seagate SkyHawk 3.5" 2TB, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk is a 2000 GB internal hard drive engineered for video surveillance systems. This 3.5-inch drive utilizes a SATA interface and is built for continuous, 24/7 operation in Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and Network Video Recorders (NVRs). Its design focuses on reliability for write-intensive workloads typical of constant video recording. The drive incorporates ImagePerfect firmware to minimize dropped frames and support streams from multiple high-definition cameras simultaneously.

This model is rated for a workload of 180 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, indicating its suitability for long-term deployment. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors help maintain consistent performance in multi-drive enclosures by mitigating the effects of vibration. With a 256 MB cache and a sustained data transfer rate of 180 MB/s, the drive manages data flow efficiently for surveillance applications. Its low power consumption during idle periods also contributes to reduced operational costs.
