Seagate ST10000VX0008 10TB 3.5" 7200rpm SATA internal hard drive

SkyHawk 10 TB surveillance drive

The Seagate SkyHawk ST10000VX0008 is a 10 TB internal hard drive built for network video recorders. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB buffer and connects through a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard desktop drive bays.

Check SATA port and power before fitting

Verify that your recorder or motherboard has a free SATA 6.0 Gb/s port and a matching power connector from the supply. The drive uses the standard 3.5 inch mounting pattern and needs no extra brackets. Confirm the chassis can accept a 1 inch high drive.

Replaces smaller surveillance drives

This 10 TB model upgrades from lower-capacity SkyHawk drives when retention policies demand more recording days. The jump is worth it if your NVR supports the capacity and you need continuous write performance for multiple camera streams. Bare drive packaging means no cables or screws are included.
