SkyHawk™ leverages Seagate's extensive experience in designing drives purpose-built for surveillance applications.

ImagePerfect™ firmware is designed to ensure seamless video footage capture in 24×7 surveillance workloads1 that record video from 64 HD cameras.

SkyHawk Health Management actively helps protect your surveillance storage by focusing on prevention, intervention, and recovery options.2 Included is RAID RapidRebuild™, which provides 3× faster volume rebuilds over traditional RAID rebuilds.

Unparalleled data protection with included 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan, helping protect important video data with Seagate's in-house data recovery services.

RV sensors built in allow drives to maintain performance in multi-bay systems, giving customers the flexibility to scale their systems when more storage is needed.

ATA streaming support enables recordings from up to 64 HD cameras for smooth, uninterrupted footage.

1 M hours MTBF, 3-year limited warranty represents an improved total cost of ownership (TCO) with reduced maintenance costs.

Lower power consumption means a reduction in heat emissions, which improves reliability in surveillance solutions. Tarnish-resistant components help protect drive from environmental elements, increasing field reliability
