Seagate SkyHawk 3.5" 8TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk ST8000VX010 is an 8 TB internal hard drive engineered for surveillance systems that require continuous, 24/7 operation. It is designed to manage the high write-intensive workloads typical of multi-camera video recording and long-term data retention. Featuring a standard 3.5-inch form factor and a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, this drive integrates directly into compatible Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and Network Video Recorder (NVR) setups. Its construction prioritizes data integrity and operational reliability for security-focused environments.

Performance for handling multiple high-definition video streams is supported by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache. To maintain consistent operation in multi-drive enclosures, integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors mitigate the effects of system-induced vibration. The drive supports S.M.A.R.T. for system health monitoring and is rated for a workload of 180 TB per year. These features collectively contribute to its function in demanding surveillance applications where consistent data writing is a primary requirement.
