Seagate Skyhawk 2TB 5400 RPM Surveillance Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate SkyHawk 2TB Internal Hard Drive (ST2000VX017) is purpose-built for always-on surveillance environments, delivering the reliability and throughput that multi-camera security systems demand. Designed around Seagate's ImagePerfect firmware, this 3.5-inch drive handles continuous 24x7 workloads while maintaining smooth, uninterrupted video capture from up to 64 HD cameras simultaneously via ATA streaming support. Whether you are securing a small office or scaling up a multi-bay NVR rack, the SkyHawk 2TB provides the foundation for dependable footage retention. SkyHawk Health Management is built into the drive to help you stay ahead of failures through prevention, intervention, and recovery options. When integrated into a compatible NVR, this feature actively monitors drive health and can alert administrators before issues escalate. For RAID deployments, RAID RapidRebuild accelerates volume rebuilds at up to 3x the speed of traditional RAID rebuild processes, reducing the window of vulnerability after a drive event. Every ST2000VX017 ships with a 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan, giving surveillance operators added peace of mind knowing that Seagate's in-house data recovery team is available if the unexpected occurs. Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors are integrated to maintain consistent performance in multi-drive enclosures, and tarnish-resistant components help protect the drive in environments where air quality may be less than ideal.
