Seagate 10TB SkyHawk AI 7200 Rpm 3.5" Internal Surveillance HDD (Retail), SATA III 6 Gb/s Interface, 256MB Cache Memory, 245 MB/s Max Sustained Transfer Rate, 2 Million Hours MTBF | ST10000VE001

The Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB (ST10000VE001) is built for much more than just standard video recording. As surveillance systems evolve to include facial recognition and behavior analysis, the SkyHawk AI provides the necessary throughput and reliability to support these intense computational tasks. It is the ideal storage foundation for enterprise-level NVRs, deep learning systems, and video analytics servers that require high-capacity, low-latency performance.

Performance: ImagePerfect™ AI Firmware
The heart of the SkyHawk AI is the ImagePerfect™ AI firmware. This advanced technology is designed to provide high-integrity video streaming by preventing frame loss, even when the system is simultaneously recording from 64 HD cameras and processing 32 AI channels. Unlike standard desktop drives, this specialized firmware manages the balance between write-heavy surveillance tasks and the random-read demands of AI data analysis.

Reliability: Built for 24/7 Multi-Bay Environments
Security systems never sleep, and the SkyHawk AI is ready. It features an enterprise-class workload rating of 550TB per year—over three times the rating of standard surveillance drives. To maintain performance in high-capacity NVRs, it comes equipped with integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors. These sensors mitigate the vibration effects found in systems with 16 or more drive bays, ensuring consistent data rates and mechanical longevity.
 

Data Protection: SkyHawk Health Management
Maintenance is simplified with SkyHawk Health Management (SHM). When integrated with compatible NVR systems (like Hikvision, Dahua, or Synology), SHM proactively monitors drive health and environmental conditions. Furthermore, the ST10000VE001 typically includes 3 years of Rescue Data Recovery Services, offering professional help to recover your footage in case of unexpected data loss or mechanical failure.

+1Why the SkyHawk AI 10TB Stands Out
AI-Ready: Specifically tuned for deep learning and video analytics workloads.

Zero Dropped Frames: ImagePerfect™ AI ensures smooth, clear video playback.

High-Speed Performance: 7200 RPM spindle speed for faster data access and processing.

Scalable: Reliable performance in multi-bay (16+) NVR configurations.
