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

The Seagate ST6000VX001 is a 6TB hard drive made for surveillance recorders that run around the clock. It slides into a 3.5 inch bay and gives security systems the room they need to keep weeks or even months of footage without having to overwrite valuable evidence.

With support for as many as 64 HD cameras, the drive suits everything from a small office DVR to a multi-channel NVR watching an entire warehouse. ImagePerfect firmware keeps each frame in place, so video plays back without stutters or gaps even when several cameras are writing at once.

The SATA III 6Gb/s interface reaches sustained transfer speeds up to 195 MB/s, so the recorder can capture high-bitrate streams while still allowing timely playback and export. Install several of these drives in the same chassis and they continue to perform thanks to firmware tuned for multi-drive work.

A workload rating of 180 TB per year, an MTBF of one million hours, and low power draw help the drive stay reliable in tight enclosures that never shut down. That durability makes it a natural fit for retail security, apartment complexes, school campuses, or any site where cameras cannot afford to miss a moment.
