Seamless Video Capture and Storage

SkyHawk’s ImagePerfect™ firmware ensures uninterrupted video footage, supporting up to 64 HD cameras. The drive's advanced firmware guarantees consistent, high-quality recording even in high-traffic surveillance environments, making it the ideal choice for network video recorders (NVRs) and digital video recorders (DVRs).

Health Management for Enhanced Reliability

The SkyHawk Health Management system actively monitors and protects the drive by providing preventative, intervention, and recovery mechanisms. This feature helps minimise downtime and ensures the reliability of the drive over extended periods, even in the most demanding conditions.

Enhanced Data Protection Features

Included with the ST2000VX016-DHI is a 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan, offering peace of mind by protecting critical surveillance footage. This service is crucial for those who rely on their video data, as it provides access to Seagate’s in-house recovery experts if data loss occurs.

Built-in RV Sensors for Multi-Bay Systems

Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors are integrated into the SkyHawk drive to optimise performance in multi-bay systems. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who need to scale their surveillance setups with additional storage, ensuring consistent reliability and performance across all connected drives.

Low Power Consumption for Cost-Effective Operation

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the Seagate SkyHawk drive operates with lower power consumption compared to other traditional drives. With an average operating power of just 3.7 watts, it helps reduce operational costs while maintaining optimal performance, even during intensive workloads.

Durable and Environmentally Resistant

SkyHawk drives are built to withstand challenging environments. The drive’s tarnish-resistant components protect it from environmental elements, ensuring its durability in varied conditions. Its design also includes features to cope with temperature extremes, making it an excellent choice for installations in outdoor or harsh environments.
