Purpose-built surveillance storage

The Seagate SkyHawk AI 10 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive is engineered for continuous video recording workloads. It delivers 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache behind a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface to sustain high write throughput across multiple camera streams.

Suits multi-camera NVR deployments.

Installers managing 24/7 surveillance arrays with up to 10 TB capacity per bay will benefit from the firmware tuned for sequential write patterns. Builders needing low-latency random access for operating systems, databases or frequent file retrieval should select a drive optimised for those workloads instead.

Standard SATA data and power cables required

The drive ships in retail or OEM packaging that may vary and includes no cables, mounting screws or management software. Integrators must supply their own SATA 6.0 Gb/s data leads and compatible power connectors to complete the installation.

Questions about this item

What type of SATA port and power connector does my system need to run the SkyHawk AI 10 TB drive?

The drive uses a standard SATA 6.0 Gb/s data port and a 15-pin SATA power connector, both found on any modern desktop motherboard and power supply.

Will this 7200 RPM, 256 MB cache drive slow down an older SATA 3 Gb/s controller I plan to keep?

It negotiates down to SATA 3 Gb/s automatically; sustained throughput will be limited by the older link, but the drive otherwise functions normally.

How can I confirm the 10 TB capacity and 7200 RPM speed are recognised correctly after installation?

Check BIOS or Disk Management for a 10 TB raw capacity and use a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo to verify the reported rotation rate shows 7200 RPM.
