Seagate SkyHawk AI 3.5" 12TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk AI ST12000VE003 is an internal hard drive with a 12 TB storage capacity, presented in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. It is engineered for AI-enabled surveillance systems that require continuous data recording and analysis. The drive connects via a SATA 6Gb/s interface, facilitating integration into compatible NVRs, DVRs, and server-based analytics platforms. Its firmware is optimized to handle simultaneous video streams and AI workloads, ensuring data is written and accessed with consistency.

Performance is delivered through a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB cache, which support sustained data transfer rates of up to 285 MB/s. This model is constructed for high-endurance, 24/7 operation, with a workload rate limit of 550 TB per year and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help maintain performance in multi-drive enclosures by mitigating vibration. The drive also supports S.M.A.R.T. technology for monitoring its operational health.
