Surveillance Storage Drive

The Seagate SkyHawk ST3000VX010 is a 3TB 3.5" internal hard drive built for continuous video recording. It connects via SATA 6.0Gb/s and includes 64MB of cache. ImagePerfect firmware is tuned for 24x7 workloads that record from up to 64 HD cameras. SkyHawk Health Management adds prevention, intervention and recovery features for surveillance storage.

Suits NVR Builds Not General Compute

This drive fits installers scaling multi-bay NVR systems that need sustained write performance and a 180TB yearly workload rating. It is not for builders who need low-latency random access for operating systems, databases or gaming libraries. Buyers wanting higher capacities should look at larger models in the same series.

180TB Annual Workload Rating

The 180TB per year workload rating is the single figure that shows whether this drive matches the write intensity of a given surveillance deployment. Systems exceeding that volume will need drives with a higher rating.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3TB SkyHawk or a larger capacity for my NVR?

The 3TB model stores up to 2000 hours of HD video and supports 64 cameras; select a higher capacity only if you need longer retention or more cameras.

What does the 180TB annual workload rating mean for daily recording?

It guarantees reliable operation in write-intensive surveillance systems that record roughly 90 percent of the time, 24 hours a day.

Does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limit the number of cameras I can record?

No — ATA streaming support on this interface sustains recordings from up to 64 HD cameras simultaneously.
