Seagate SkyHawk ST6000VX001 6TB Surveillance Hard Drive

Introducing the Seagate Skyhawk AI 8TB 256MB HDD, a revolutionary storage solution designed specifically for the demands of surveillance systems. With a legacy of over ten years in creating drives tailored for surveillance storage, Seagate stands as a leader in providing reliable and efficient hard drives that enhance the performance of your security systems.

The Skyhawk AI HDD is engineered to ensure maximum uptime and minimal post-deployment support, making it an essential component for any surveillance setup. This hard drive features advanced ImagePerfect firmware, which supports 24/7 surveillance-optimized workloads, recording approximately 90% of the time while enabling seamless video playback during the remaining 10%.

Equipped with an impressive workload rating of 180TB/year, the Skyhawk AI can handle write-intensive surveillance tasks with ease, boasting three times the workload rating of traditional desktop-class drives. This makes it an ideal choice for environments that require constant monitoring and data recording.

One of the standout features of the Seagate Skyhawk AI is its Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors, which allow the drive to maintain optimal performance in RAID and multi-drive systems. This capability not only enhances the reliability of your storage solution but also provides the flexibility to expand as the network video recorder (NVR) market continues to grow.

With ATA streaming support, the Skyhawk AI can sustain recordings from up to 64 HD cameras, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted footage capture. This is crucial for comprehensive surveillance systems that require high-quality video streams from multiple sources.

The Skyhawk AI offers up to 10TB or 10,000 hours of HD video storage, allowing for an increased number of cameras and extended data retention periods. This ensures that critical footage is available when needed, providing peace of mind for users.

Designed with reliability in mind, the Skyhawk AI HDD boasts an impressive 1 million hours MTBF and comes with a 3-year limited warranty. This represents a significant improvement in total cost of ownership (TCO), resulting in reduced maintenance costs over time.

Furthermore, the drive features lower power consumption, which helps to reduce heat emissions and enhance overall reliability in surveillance applications. The incorporation of tarnish-resistant components also protects the drive from environmental elements, ensuring its durability in various conditions.
