Seagate 6TB Skyhawk
Only Seagate has been making drives specifically for surveillance
storage for ten years. SkyHawkâ„¢ is built to keep systems in the field
longer and reduce the need for post-deployment support.
Optimised for DVRs and NVRs, SkyHawkâ„¢ surveillance drives are tuned for
24×7 workloads in capacities up to 10 TB. Equipped with enhanced ImagePerfect™
firmware, SkyHawk helps to minimise dropped frames and downtime with a workload
rating 3x that of a desktop drive and IS ready to record up to 90% of the time
while supporting up to 64 HD cameras.
Key Features
ImagePerfect™ firmware supports 24×7 surveillance-optimised workloads tuned
to record ~90% of the time and play back video footage the remaining 10%, and
supports more cameras recording at higher resolutions than traditional drives.
Workload rating of 180 TB/year allows SkyHawk to perform reliably in writeintensive
surveillance systems — 3× the workload rating of a desktop-class drive.
NVR-ready design allows drives to maintain performance in RAID and multi-drive
systems, giving customers the flexibility to grow with the booming NVR market and
scale their systems when more storage is needed.
ATA streaming support sustains recordings from up to 64 HD cameras for smooth,
uninterrupted footage.
Up to 10 TB or over 2,000 hours of HD video storage supports an increased
number of cameras and helps to ensure longer data retention periods are met.
Lower power consumption means a reduction in heat emissions, which improves
reliability in surveillance solutions.
