Seagate SkyHawk 1TB 3.5" 5900 RPM CCTV Surveillance HDD - ST1000VX013

This is a 3.5 inch hard drive purpose-built for continuous surveillance and security recording applications. The 1TB capacity with 5900 RPM spindle speed and 64MB cache buffer provides sufficient performance for systems running multiple HD camera feeds simultaneously. The drive is engineered to handle the constant, sequential write patterns typical of CCTV systems, making it suitable for setups with up to eight standard definition or lower resolution cameras.

The SkyHawk is rated for always-on operation and incorporates design features that reduce vibration and power consumption compared to standard desktop drives. This makes it more reliable in 24/7 surveillance environments where thermal stress and mechanical wear are significant concerns. For users building or expanding modest security systems, this represents a cost-effective storage option designed specifically for monitoring duties rather than general computing.
