Seagate SkyHawk AI 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, 550 WRL, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk AI ST16000VE004 is an internal hard drive engineered for surveillance systems that utilize AI-powered video analytics. It provides a 16 TB capacity for storing large volumes of high-resolution video data from multiple streams. This drive is constructed for continuous, 24/7 operation, with a workload rating of 550 TB per year and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours. This design maintains data integrity and accessibility in demanding, always-on recording environments.

Performance is managed by a 7200 RPM spindle speed, a 512 MB cache, and a SATA III 6 Gbit/s interface. These components support sustained data transfer rates, with write speeds reaching up to 285 MB/s and read speeds of 260 MB/s. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help maintain performance in multi-drive systems by mitigating vibration. The drive's low average latency of 4.16 ms contributes to quick data retrieval and responsive system operation.
