Description
Overview
The Seagate SkyHawk 2TB (model ST2000VX017) is a 3.5‑inch internal HDD engineered for video surveillance and NVR/DVR systems. It is optimised for continuous write workloads and long-term reliability in always‑on camera systems. The drive includes a large 256MB cache and Seagate’s surveillance feature set to support sustained recording and playback.
Who it suits
This drive is intended for installers and integrators, small business and prosumer users who need a dedicated surveillance disk for NVRs, DVRs or multi‑bay recorders that run 24/7. It is not a NAS or desktop‑optimised drive, but is tailored to sustained sequential writes typical of video recording.
