SkyHawk AI 12TB surveillance drive

The Seagate SkyHawk AI ST12000VE001 is a 12TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for AI-enabled network video recorders. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied as a bare unit without additional accessories.

ImagePerfect AI firmware and health management

ImagePerfect AI firmware delivers zero dropped frames while supporting heavier workloads across up to 64 HD video streams and 32 AI streams. SkyHawk Health Management monitors drive condition to increase overall system reliability. These features work together to maintain continuous recording and playback in demanding surveillance environments.

Suited for AI NVR deployments needing high capacity

This drive fits installers deploying NVRs that require 12TB of storage for multiple cameras and AI analytics. It is not intended for general-purpose desktop storage, portable use, or systems that need a non-SATA interface. Buyers who want a smaller capacity or a different form factor should look at other models.
