Seagate SkyHawk 3.5" 1TB, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk ST1000VX013 is a 1 TB internal hard drive engineered for surveillance applications. Its design prioritizes sustained reliability for continuous, 24/7 operation in security systems that require constant recording from multiple sources. The drive is built to handle the write-intensive demands of high-definition video streaming, ensuring data integrity over long periods. This focus on endurance makes it a suitable storage component for modern DVR and NVR systems where consistent performance is a primary requirement.

This 3.5-inch drive connects via a SATA 6 Gb/s interface and is equipped with a 256 MB cache to manage data flow from video streams effectively. It supports a workload rate of up to 180 TB per year, accommodating the high data throughput typical of surveillance environments. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors help to maintain stable performance and reliability when used in multi-drive bays. The drive also includes S.M.A.R.T. technology, which allows for monitoring of its operational health and status.
