Seagate ST6000VX009

Overview

The Seagate ST6000VX009 is a 6TB internal hard drive designed specifically for continuous surveillance recording. It connects via a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and delivers steady transfer speeds up to 180 MB/s, supported by a 256MB cache to handle large amounts of video data efficiently. Built to operate 24/7, this drive ensures reliable, uninterrupted recording for security systems that demand constant monitoring.

Capable of supporting simultaneous recording from up to 64 HD cameras, it suits businesses and facilities with extensive surveillance setups. The drive’s built-in rotational vibration sensors maintain stable performance in multi-bay environments like network video recorders, while its durability rating of 600,000 load/unload cycles and a mean time between failures of one million hours underline its long-lasting design. Energy efficiency is also a priority, with an average power consumption of 5.3 watts helping to reduce operating costs in always-on systems.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
