Introduction

3.5 HARD DRIVE DATA SHEET
Smart. Safe. Secure. Seagate Surveillance-Specialized Storage SkyHawk™ leverages Seagate’s extensive experience in designing drives purpose-built for surveillance applications.

Best-Fit Applications

• Network video recorders (NVR)
• Embedded surveillance DVRs (SDVR)
• Hybrid surveillance DVRs
• Surveillance DVRs

Key Advantages

• ImagePerfect™ firmware is designed to ensure seamless video footage capture in 24×7 surveillance workloads that record video from 64 HD cameras.
• SkyHawk Health Management actively helps protect your surveillance storage by focusing on prevention, intervention and recovery options.2
• The NVR-ready design allows drives to maintain performance in multi-bay systems, giving customers the flexibility to scale their systems when more storage is needed.
• ATA streaming support enables recordings from up to 64 HD cameras for smooth, uninterrupted footage.
• Up to 10TB or over 2000 hours of HD video storage support an increased number of HD cameras and allows longer data retention periods.
• 1M hours MTBF, 3-year limited warranty3 represents an improved total cost of ownership (TCO) with reduced maintenance costs.
• Lower power consumption means a reduction in heat emissions, which improves reliability in surveillance solutions. Tarnish-resistant components help protect the drive from environmental elements, increasing field reliability.

1. SkyHawk surveillance drives are designed for always-on, low transaction workloads (20% duty cycle) of 180TB/year. For higher transaction workloads, see Seagate’s enterprise-class drive offerings.
2. Contact your Seagate sales representative for further information.
3. SkyHawk surveillance drives are designed to operate under ambient operating temperatures of 0°C to 60°C and normal environments. The usage of drives in higher temperatures or other extreme environmental conditions will reduce useful life.

When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes, and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your computer’s operating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data storage.

Quantitative usage examples for various applications are for illustrative purposes. Actual quantities will vary based on various factors, including file size, file format, features, and application software. Actual data rates may vary depending on the operating environment and other factors, such as chosen interface and disk capacity.

Frequently Ask Question

How durable is an internal hard drive?

Generally speaking, you can rely on your hard drive for three to five years on average. A compelling study that proved this statistic comes from the online backup company Backblaze which analyzed the failure rates of 25,000 running hard drives.

What is the failure rate of ST4000VX007?

Seagate Skyhawk 4 TB HDD ST4000VX007. – Mean time between failures greater than 1 million hours; Annual error rate of less than 1%

What is the lifespan of a hard drive in hours?

Power-on hours is intended to indicate a remaining lifetime prediction for hard drives and solid-state drives, generally, “the total expected lifetime of a hard disk is 5 years” or 43,800 hours of constant use. Once a drive has surpassed the 43,800-hour mark, it may no longer be classed as in “perfect condition”

What happens when a hard drive fails?

When your hard drive fails, you might encounter boot errors in your BIOS when starting your computer, or “USB Device malfunctioned” error messages when plugging in a failed external drive. You also may notice some physical signs of hard disk failure, such as clicking, beeping, or other strange noises.

What is the speed of the internal hard drive?

HDDs can copy 30 to 150 MB per second (MB/s), while standard SSDs perform the same action at speeds of 500 MB/s. Newer NVME SSDs can even show speeds of up to an astounding 3,000 to 3,500 MB/s.

How long can hard drives be stored?

Most hard disk drives (HDD) last three to five years before some component fails. That doesn’t always mean the drive is irrecoverably broken. But three to five years is still about how long they last, whether you’re talking about an internal drive for a server, desktop, or an external HDD.

Can the hard drive be repaired?

Hard drive repair is possible, but they should not be reused after a recovery! Of course, HDDs can be repaired! However, a repaired HDD should not be reused, but rather, have its contents recovered immediately and then discarded as it cannot be trusted to work into the future.

Can a hard drive fail without use?

Hard drives have moving parts, which are lubricated in some manner or form to avoid friction. For instance, many disks have lube or grease in the bearings of the main spindle/shaft. The lubricants will dry out as time goes by. So, even been not used, the hard disks can go bad.

Do hard drives get damaged easily?

A Hard drive may fail at any moment. It happens after the accumulation of bad sectors in the disk due to aging or a sudden crash. This may result in irrevocable damage to the disk platter surface.

What are the advantages of internal hard drives?

Internal hard drives can offer great storage capacity for large amounts of data. Internal hard drives are always connected to your computer. Therefore, regular scheduling of backups requires less effort. Internal hard drives are very cost-efficient when compared to other forms of media storage.

Is the hard drive the fastest memory?

Hard Drive or HDD is slower than the memory but it stores more data. Memory or RAM (Random Access Memory) is faster as compared to the Hard Drive but data will be lost when the power supply is switched off.

What is the performance of a hard drive?

A typical 7200 RPM HDD will deliver a read/write speed of 80-160MB/s. On the other hand, a standard SATA SSD will provide a read/write speed of between 200 MB/s to 550 MB/s. At the same time, an NVMe m. 2 SSD can offer speeds exceeding 5000 MB/s.

How to format a hard drive?

Right-click on the drive and select Format. Enter a name for the drive in the Volume label and select the format type in the File system dropdown box. Click OK. It will take a short while to delete all the files and change the format of the disk.
