Seagate SkyHawk 3.5 Inch Surveillance Hard Drives 

Smart. Safe. Secure.
Seagate Surveillance-Optimized Storage

Only Seagate has been making drives specifically for surveillance storage for ten years. SkyHawk™ is built to keep systems in the field longer and reduce the need for post-deployment support.

Key Advantages

• ImagePerfect™ firmware supports 24×7 surveillance-optimized workloads tuned to record ~90% of the time and playback video footage the remaining 10%, and supports more cameras recording at higher resolutions than traditional drives.
• Workload rating of 180TB/year allows SkyHawk to perform reliably in write-intensive surveillance systems—3× the workload rating of a desktop-class drive.
• NVR-ready design allows drives to maintain performance in RAID and multi-drive systems, giving customers the flexibility to grow with the booming NVR market and scale their systems when more storage is needed.
• ATA streaming support sustains recordings from up to 64 HD cameras for smooth, uninterrupted footage.
• Up to 10TB of HD video storage supports an increased number of cameras and helps to ensure longer data retention periods are met.
• Lower power consumption means a reduction in heat emissions, which improves reliability in surveillance solutions.
• Tarnish-resistant components help protect drive from environmental elements, increasing field reliability.
