Purpose-built surveillance storage

The Seagate SkyHawk ST8000VX004 is an 8TB 3.5" internal hard drive engineered for network video recorders and surveillance systems. It supports continuous recording from up to 64 high-definition cameras using ImagePerfect firmware tuned for 24x7 workloads.

Sustained write performance

A 7200 RPM spindle and 256MB cache maintain steady throughput during round-the-clock multi-stream ingest. SkyHawk Health Management monitors drive behaviour and intervenes early to preserve data integrity under constant load.

Compatibility checklist

Verify your recorder or server has a free SATA 6.0Gb/s port and a 3.5" bay with at least 26.11mm height clearance. Confirm the power supply delivers sufficient current for a 7200 RPM mechanical drive.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 7200 RPM 8TB drive draw during continuous 24×7 recording?

The drive is built for 24×7 surveillance workloads with ImagePerfect firmware that sustains writing from up to 64 HD cameras, and its 7200 RPM spindle with 256MB cache is tuned for steady video capture rather than peak throughput.

Does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface need a 3.5-inch bay and a SATA power cable from my power supply?

Yes, the 3.5-inch form factor requires a standard drive bay, a SATA data cable to the motherboard or controller, and a SATA power connector from the power supply.

Will this SkyHawk drive work in an older NVR that only supports SATA 3Gb/s?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 3Gb/s ports, so the drive will operate at the slower link speed while still delivering 7200 RPM performance and 256MB cache for surveillance recording.
