Seagate Skyhawk 4TB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s Surveillance Internal HDD

The Seagate ST4000VX007 is a 4TB internal hard drive designed specifically for surveillance systems that require reliable, continuous recording. It fits into a standard 3.5-inch drive bay and connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, ensuring fast and stable data transfer. With a 64MB cache, it handles large amounts of video data efficiently, making it well-suited for environments where uninterrupted video capture is critical.

This drive is built to operate 24/7, thanks to its ImagePerfect firmware that maintains smooth, high-quality video streams without dropped frames. It can support up to 64 HD camera feeds simultaneously, which makes it ideal for use in DVR and NVR systems in places like retail stores, office buildings, or any location that depends on constant surveillance. The ST4000VX007 is rated for a workload of 180TB per year, which is significantly higher than typical desktop drives, so it can handle the heavy write demands of video recording without compromising performance.

Additionally, the drive includes rotational vibration sensors that help maintain consistent performance when used in RAID arrays or multi-drive setups, reducing the risk of errors caused by vibration. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1 million hours and backed by a 3-year limited warranty, this Seagate drive offers durability and peace of mind for long-term surveillance storage needs.
