Seagate SkyHawk Surveillance 3TB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate ST3000VX015 is an internal 3.5 inch hard drive created for round-the-clock surveillance recording. Part of the SkyHawk line, it provides 3TB of reliable storage that can archive many days of high-definition footage without constant management. Installers can drop it into a DVR or NVR through the SATA 6Gb/s interface and immediately support up to 64 camera streams, so the same drive scales from a modest home setup to a busy retail or office environment.

The drive uses ImagePerfect firmware that writes video data in a steady, sequential manner, which helps prevent the dropped frames that make critical moments hard to review. A 256MB cache works with the firmware to keep each recording smooth, even as activity peaks. Rotational vibration sensors further protect performance when several SkyHawk drives sit close together in a multi-bay chassis.

SkyHawk is rated for continuous duty, so it runs cool and stable every hour of the year. Whether you are building a new surveillance rig, replacing aging drives in an existing recorder, or expanding storage in a multi-camera system, this model offers the capacity, workload rating, and longevity that video security demands.
