Seagate SkyHawk HDD, SATA 6G, 7200RPM, 3.5 inches - 6 TB [ST6000VX0023]

This ten-terabyte (6 TB = 6,000 GB) volume version of the SkyHawk HDD series is designed for continuous operation, and developers were particularly keen to use video surveillance systems. The hard drive has to do two things: first it has to be extremely reliable, second it has to be fast to record video streams lossless.

Both are given at the Seagate SkyHawk. The 3.5-inch HDD is rugged and durable, and is therefore being promoted by Seagate with an enormous MTBF of one million hours. On the other hand, with 256MB of cache, SATA 6G interface and 7,200 RPM, the HDD is very fast (up to 195MB / s sustained data throughput), so even multiple camera streams (up to 64 cameras) can be recorded simultaneously.
