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

The Seagate SkyHawk AI is an internal hard drive engineered for surveillance systems that utilize artificial intelligence and process large video data streams. It features an 8 TB capacity and operates at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, which, combined with a 256 MB cache, facilitates consistent data recording from multiple camera sources. The drive is constructed to support continuous, 24/7 operation within Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and other surveillance hardware. Its design is focused on handling the high-throughput demands of video capture and analytics.

This drive incorporates Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors to maintain performance in multi-bay enclosures by mitigating vibration from adjacent drives. A workload rate limit of 550 TB per year and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours indicate its suitability for intensive, long-term use. The drive utilizes a standard 3.5-inch form factor and a SATA III interface, ensuring broad compatibility with modern surveillance systems. It also includes S.M.A.R.T. support for monitoring drive health and status.
