Seagate SkyHawk 8TB 3.5" SATA III 6Gb/s Surveillance Internal HDD

The Seagate ST8000VX0022 is an 8TB surveillance hard drive built for network video recorders and digital video recorders that operate around the clock. It connects through a SATA III 6Gb/s interface, and a 256MB cache helps move continuous streams of video to storage without hesitation.

This drive can handle recordings from up to 64 high-definition cameras at once, which makes it well suited for installations in retail stores, offices, warehouses, or larger home security systems. Whether the footage is being captured, played back, or archived, the drive’s sustained transfer rate of up to 210MB/s keeps workflows responsive.

SkyHawk Health Management monitors drive conditions and offers preventive recommendations, adding an extra safeguard for critical footage. A mean time between failures of one million hours and a design intended for 24/7 workloads provide confidence that the video you record today will still be there when you need it.

The ST8000VX0022 is also optimized for enclosures with eight or more bays. Its efficient power profile reduces heat output, supporting stable performance and longer service life in multi-drive systems.
