Seagate SkyHawk 2TB SATA3 3.5" Surveillance Drive

Seagate's SkyHawk is a 3.5-inch hard drive made for video storage in security systems. With 2TB of capacity and a SATA3 connection, it is built for continuous recording in DVR and NVR setups, and a large cache supports multiple video streams at once.

Capacity & interface

The drive supplies two terabytes of room, intended for retaining video recordings and surveillance data over the long term. A SATA 6Gb/s interface ensures broad compatibility with video recorders and motherboards, while a 256MB cache helps keep data flowing smoothly under load.

Speed & video flow

The drive spins at 5400 RPM, tuned for steady continuous writing rather than brief peak speeds. The SkyHawk design supports several HD cameras simultaneously in compatible systems and is matched to recording workloads that run around the clock.

The 3.5-inch form fits standard drive bays in recorders and surveillance machines. The drive belongs to the SkyHawk family engineered for continuous video recording environments, with a workload rating of up to 180TB per year and support for up to 64 HD cameras in suitable systems.
