Seagate SkyHawk 2 TB | Surveillance-Optimised HDD

The Seagate SkyHawk internal hard drive 2 TB 256 MB 3.5″ Serial ATA III is engineered for 24/7 surveillance systems, offering reliable storage for up to 64 HD cameras with ImagePerfect™ firmware that ensures smooth, uninterrupted video capture.

Key Specifications

Built for Continuous Surveillance

SkyHawk drives are designed specifically for surveillance workloads, supporting 24/7 recording from multiple cameras without dropped frames. The ImagePerfect™ firmware eliminates video artefacts and ensures consistent footage quality even during high-write periods.

Advanced Health Monitoring

SkyHawk Health Management actively monitors drive status, predicting potential failures before they occur. This proactive system includes RAID RapidRebuild™ technology that can restore volumes up to three times faster than standard RAID rebuilds, minimising downtime in critical surveillance setups.

Enhanced Data Protection

Every SkyHawk drive includes a 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan, providing professional data recovery if footage becomes inaccessible. Combined with Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER) of less than 1 in 10^14 bits read, your surveillance footage remains protected against data corruption.

Robust Multi-Bay Performance

Built-in Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors maintain performance when multiple drives operate in the same system. This allows you to expand your surveillance storage without performance degradation, making SkyHawk ideal for growing security installations that may start with one drive and scale to many.
