  • Built for continuous surveillance recording with SkyHawk firmware
  • 2000 GB capacity stores weeks of high-definition footage

  • 64 MB cache buffers burst write workloads
  • SATA 6 Gb/s interface fits standard 3.5" drive bays

SkyHawk 2TB Surveillance Drive

The Seagate SkyHawk ST2000VX008 is a 2TB internal hard drive built for continuous video recording. It spins at 7200RPM and connects through a SATA 6Gb/s interface with a 64MB cache. The drive is new and formatted for 3.5-inch desktop bays.

Suited for NVR and DVR Arrays

This unit targets installers who need a single drive for network video recorders or digital video recorders writing multiple streams around the clock. It is not intended for builders who want an operating-system boot drive or a general-purpose storage pool with mixed random workloads.

7200RPM Spindle Speed

The 7200RPM rotational speed determines the sustained write throughput available for concurrent camera feeds. Slower spindles would reduce the number of streams the drive can ingest without frame drops.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2TB SkyHawk or a larger capacity for my surveillance system?

The 2TB model stores 2000GB of continuous footage; select a higher capacity only if you need more retention days or additional camera streams.

What does the 7200RPM speed deliver in a real DVR or NVR?

7200RPM sustains the high sequential write rates that multi-camera surveillance recording demands, keeping frame drops to a minimum.

How does the SATA 6Gb/s interface limit performance in practice?

The SATA 6Gb/s link caps burst transfers at 6Gb/s, while sustained throughput stays within the drive’s own 7200RPM mechanical limits.
