Seagate SkyHawk 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s HDD

The Seagate ST1000VX013 is a hard drive that delivers 1TB of secure, always-on storage for video surveillance systems. Built in a 3.5-inch form factor and connected through a SATA 6Gb/s interface, it slips easily into DVR or NVR chassis and keeps data moving with a fast 7200-RPM spindle and a 256MB cache.

Seagate equips this SkyHawk model with ImagePerfect firmware, a technology designed for uninterrupted 24/7 recording. It can handle up to 64 simultaneous high-definition camera streams without dropped frames, so every detail is captured and retained. A workload rating of 180TB per year, which is about three times higher than that of a typical desktop drive, makes it well suited for installations that record continuously around the clock.

SkyHawk Health Management is included to monitor drive conditions and recommend preventive actions before issues arise. Combined with a mean time between failures of one million hours, corrosion-resistant components, and low idle power draw, the drive aims to reduce system heat and extend overall service life.

Whether you are protecting a small business, monitoring retail aisles, or keeping an eye on home entry points, this drive offers the reliability and endurance that video security demands while fitting into standard 3.5-inch bays.
