About this product
The Seagate ST1000VX005 SkyHawk 1TB Surveillance Hard Drive is an internal 3.5-inch HDD specifically engineered for surveillance systems. It connects via a SATA 6Gb/s (SATA III) interface and features a 1TB storage capacity. The drive operates at a rotation speed of 5900 RPM and includes a 64MB cache. This item is described as used, meaning it has been previously utilized but remains fully operational, making it a cost-effective option for DVR/NVR applications.
Our take
If you're setting up a surveillance system, the Seagate SkyHawk 1TB is a purpose-built drive designed for the unique demands of continuous video recording. While the 1TB capacity is on the smaller side for extensive multi-camera setups, it's suitable for basic systems or shorter retention periods. The 5900 RPM speed is common for surveillance drives, balancing performance with power consumption and heat. The 64MB cache is adequate for video streaming. Keep in mind it's a 'used' product, so while it should be fully functional, it won't be brand new. For a budget-conscious surveillance build, it's a viable option.
