What this part is

<p><strong>Purpose-built for 24/7 surveillance | Supports up to 64 HD camera streams | 4TB of high-capacity storage | ImagePerfect firmware for uninterrupted recording | 1 million hours MTBF reliability</strong></p> <p>The Seagate SkyHawk Surveillance 4TB HDD is built for security installers and system integrators who need a drive that can keep pace with the demands of continuous video recording. Engineered specifically for NVR and DVR environments, it supports simultaneous streams from up to 64 HD cameras without frame loss, thanks to ImagePerfect firmware that minimises interruptions during 24/7 operation. A maximum sustained transfer rate of 180MB/s keeps footage flowing reliably, while built-in rotational vibration (RV) sensors maintain performance stability in multi-bay systems with up to 16 drive bays. With a workload rating of 180TB per year, a mean time between failures of 1 million hours, and tarnish-resistant components that guard against environmental wear, this drive is designed for the long haul. SkyHawk Health Management adds an extra layer of assurance through prevention, intervention, and recovery tools — including RAID RapidRebuild for faster volume recovery. At 4TB capacity on a standard 3.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s interface, it slots directly into existing surveillance infrastructure and delivers the dependable, high-capacity storage that serious security systems demand.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>ImagePerfect firmware ensures seamless, uninterrupted video capture across 24/7 workloads</li> <li>Supports simultaneous HD streams from up to 64 cameras</li> <li>Compatible with multi-bay systems of up to 16 drive bays, with built-in RV sensors for stability</li> <li>Maximum sustained transfer rate of 180 MB/s for consistent video throughput</li> <li>Workload rating of 180 TB per year for always-on surveillance environments</li> <li>1 million hours MTBF and tarnish-resistant components for long-term field reliability</li> <li>SkyHawk Health Management with RAID RapidRebuild for faster volume recovery</li> <li>CMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) recording technology for data integrity</li> </ul> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Capacity: 4TB</li> <li>Form Factor: 3.5"</li> <li>Interface: SATA 6Gb/s</li> <li>Max Sustained Transfer Rate OD (MB/s): 180MB/s</li> <li>Cache: 256MB</li> <li>Workload Class: Surveillance</li> <li>Load/Unload Cycles: 600, 000</li> <li>Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) (hours): 1,000,000 hours</li> <li>Product Dimensions: 14.7 x 10.1 x 2.6 cm</li> <li>Product Weight: 490g</li> </ul> <h3>What's in the Box</h3> <ul> <li>Seagate SkyHawk Surveillance 4TB 256MB 3.5" SATA HDD x1</li> </ul>
