Seagate SkyHawk AI 10TB Surveillance Hard Drive

The Seagate SkyHawk AI ST10000VE001 is a high-capacity surveillance storage solution engineered for AI-enabled security systems. This 10TB internal hard drive combines advanced firmware with robust hardware specifications to deliver reliable performance in demanding surveillance environments.

ImagePerfect AI Firmware Technology

Built with ImagePerfect AI firmware, this drive handles intensive workloads without dropping frames. The system intelligently adapts to your AI environment scale, supporting up to 64 HD video streams and 32 AI streams simultaneously. This capability makes it suitable for multi-camera surveillance installations requiring both video recording and real-time analytics processing.

Technical Specifications

The drive features a 256MB cache buffer and operates at 7200RPM, connected via SATA III interface with 6.0 Gbit/s data transfer rates. The 3.5-inch form factor fits standard surveillance NVR and server bays, with multi-bay support for configurations up to 16+ drives.

Reliability and Data Protection

Rated for 2 million hours MTBF and a 550TB/year workload rate, this drive exceeds standard surveillance hard drive specifications by more than 3x. Built-in rotational vibration sensors maintain consistent performance in multi-bay NAS environments, reducing lag and minimizing downtime. The drive includes three years of Rescue Data Recovery Services with a 90% success rate against data loss from power outages, natural disasters, user error, and viruses.

SkyHawk Health Management

SkyHawk Health Management actively monitors drive health with prevention, intervention, and recovery options. The included RAID RapidRebuild feature provides 3× faster volume rebuilds compared to standard RAID reconstruction, reducing vulnerability windows during array recovery.

AI Workload Processing

The drive handles simultaneous video analysis and recording alongside GPU analytics workloads, making it compatible with modern AI-powered surveillance systems that perform edge processing, facial recognition, object detection, and behavioral analysis.
