Seagate SkyHawk 1TB Surveillance HDD

Designed specifically for 24/7 surveillance systems: This hard drive is not just an ordinary storage disk; it's designed for continuous operation (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) inside recording devices (DVRs/NVRs). While regular (computer) hard drives can quickly become damaged when used for surveillance because they are designed to operate for only 8 hours a day, SkyHawk can withstand continuous write pressure for years.

ImagePerfect™ Firmware Technology: The key feature of this version is its intelligent "internal software" that ensures smooth, uninterrupted video recording. This technology prevents the common "dropped frames" problem found in cheaper discs, meaning you won't lose any important footage when reviewing your recordings.

Specifications and features:

• Capacity: 1 terabyte (enough to record approximately 5-7 days for a 4-camera system with 2 megapixel resolution, depending on the settings).
• Cache: It comes with a cache of 256MB , which is a very good number (most of the old 1TB models were only 64MB), giving it a high response speed.
• Endurance: Supports live streaming recording from 64 cameras simultaneously without any lag.
• Work rate: Designed to handle writing 180 terabytes of data per year.
• Warranty: It usually comes with a 3-year warranty from the dealer.
