Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB Smart Surveillance Hard Drive – ST10000VE001

Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB Hard Drive – Designed for AI-Powered Smart Surveillance Systems

If your surveillance system uses AI analytics (face, license plate and people recognition), a regular drive isn't enough - you need a drive specifically designed to handle the workload of recording + analytics at the same time. The SkyHawk AI drive is the solution.

Why Is This Drive Worth Using in a Smart Surveillance System?

• Designed for recording + analytics together: Handles video recording from 64 cameras while running up to 32 AI analytics streams simultaneously without stuttering
• 550TB/year workload rating: Three times that of a regular drive - handles the double load of recording and analytics
• ImagePerfect AI technology: Zero dropped frames even under heavy load from cameras and smart analytics together
• Outstanding reliability: Rated lifespan of up to 2 million hours (MTBF) - double that of a regular drive
• Full 5-year warranty from the manufacturer
