Seagate SkyHawk 3.5" 3TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk ST3000VX015 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 3 TB capacity, engineered for video surveillance systems. It utilizes a SATA 6Gb/s interface for integration into standard DVR and NVR hardware. The drive is designed for continuous 24/7 recording workloads, providing a high-capacity storage solution for systems that operate around the clock. Its architecture is structured to manage simultaneous data streams from multiple cameras.

This model incorporates ImagePerfect firmware to minimize dropped frames and ensure smooth video playback. To maintain performance in multi-drive configurations, it is equipped with rotational vibration (RV) sensors that counteract vibration-induced errors. A 7200 RPM spindle speed, combined with a 256 MB cache, facilitates efficient data processing and retrieval. The drive is rated for an MTBF of 1 million hours, reflecting its design for long-term operational reliability in surveillance deployments.
