Seagate SkyHawk AI ST10000VE001 10TB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s Surveillance Hard Drive with 256MB Cache

The Seagate SkyHawk AI ST10000VE001 is a 10TB, 3.5-inch video-optimized hard drive designed for network video recorders (NVRs) and AI-enabled NVR systems at the edge. Part of Seagate's SkyHawk AI series, this air-design drive uses CMR recording and pairs a SATA 6Gb/s interface with a 256MB cache for a maximum sustained transfer rate of 245MB/s.

The drive supports up to 64 HD cameras (1080p, H.265, 25 fps) and 32 AI channels, handling up to 120 real-time capture events and 96 real-time compare events per second so that video recording and AI analysis can run simultaneously. ImagePerfect AI firmware delivers zero dropped frames under heavier workloads, built-in rotational vibration (RV) sensors keep performance consistent in systems with 16 or more drive bays, and SkyHawk Health Management helps protect stored video through prevention, intervention and recovery options.

Rated for 8,760 power-on hours per year, a 550TB/year workload, 2,000,000 hours MTBF and 600,000 load/unload cycles, the tarnish-resistant ST10000VE001 is backed by a 5-year limited warranty, with a 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan offered in select regions.
