Seagate SkyHawk AI 3.5" 20TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive, for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk AI is a 20 TB internal hard drive engineered for AI-enabled surveillance systems and high-volume data archiving. Its large capacity accommodates extensive high-resolution video footage from multiple camera sources. The drive utilizes ImagePerfect firmware, which is optimized to reduce frame loss and support smooth, uninterrupted video recording. Its helium-sealed design aids in maintaining lower operating temperatures and power consumption, which is beneficial for multi-bay deployments found in network video recorders (NVRs).

This model operates at a 7200 RPM spindle speed and is equipped with a 512 MB cache to manage high data throughput from simultaneous recording streams. It is constructed for continuous 24/7 workloads, featuring a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 2,500,000 hours for long-term operational stability. The inclusion of rotational vibration (RV) sensors helps mitigate vibration from adjacent drives, preserving consistent performance in multi-drive server or NAS environments.
