Seagate SkyHawk 3.5" 2TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk ST2000VX017 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive engineered for video surveillance systems. It provides 2 TB of storage capacity, intended to handle the continuous, write-intensive data streams from multiple high-definition cameras. The drive is constructed for 24/7 operational reliability, with firmware optimized to maintain consistent performance in network video recorders (NVRs) and digital video recorders (DVRs). This design focus helps ensure stable video capture and reduces the potential for dropped frames during recording.

This model's performance is supported by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB buffer, which facilitate the efficient processing and caching of video data. It is rated for a workload of up to 180 TB per year, reflecting its capability to manage high-volume surveillance tasks over extended periods. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors help maintain steady performance in multi-drive enclosures by mitigating the effects of system vibration. Additionally, built-in S.M.A.R.T. support allows for proactive drive health monitoring to help prevent potential data loss.
