Seagate SkyHawk ST6000VX009 6TB Surveillance Hard Drive — 3.5" SATA III drive purpose-built for 24/7 DVR and NVR recording with a 180TB/year workload rating.

The SkyHawk range is Seagate's surveillance-optimised product line, engineered for the sustained sequential writes that continuous multi-camera recording demands. Unlike desktop drives, SkyHawk drives are rated for the elevated temperatures and vibration of populated NVR enclosures. The 256MB cache and SATA III 6Gb/s interface keep data flowing steadily to the drive under simultaneous multi-stream loads, and the compact 20.17mm height fits standard 1U enclosures.

Optimised for 24/7 DVR and NVR continuous recording

180TB/year workload rating — 3× desktop drive endurance

256MB cache for sustained write performance
