Seagate 20TB 3.5" 512MB SATA SkyHawk AI

Features

The Seagate SkyHawk AI hard drive is designed for video surveillance systems that require stable operation with a large number of video streams. The 20 TB capacity allows storing large archives of recordings, including video data and related information. The drive is built for continuous 24/7 operation.

A spindle speed of 7200 RPM and a 512 MB cache provide stable performance during video recording and playback. A maximum sustained transfer rate of up to 285 MB/s enables handling continuous data streams.

The drive supports operation with multiple video streams and is used in multi-channel surveillance systems. This allows deployment in NVR systems with parallel data access.

The drive is built on CMR technology and features a helium-filled design. Rotational vibration sensors are also included for stable operation in multi-drive environments.

The 3.5" form factor and SATA III interface ensure compatibility with most NVR and server solutions. The design is intended for stable operation under long-term workloads.
