About this product
The Seagate Skyhawk ST3000VX009 is a 3TB internal hard drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, designed for surveillance systems. It connects via a SATA III interface and features a substantial 256MB cache. This drive is equipped with Rotational Vibration (RV) Sensors, enhancing its performance and reliability in multi-drive environments common in surveillance setups. Despite being listed as 'Portable External HDD' for type, its specs indicate an internal drive from the Skyhawk product line.
Our take
This Seagate Skyhawk 3TB drive is an impressive option for surveillance, particularly due to its specialized features. The 3TB capacity is substantial for many systems, and the 256MB cache is a significant advantage for managing constant video streams, providing smoother performance than drives with smaller caches. The inclusion of Rotational Vibration (RV) Sensors is a professional-grade feature, crucial for maintaining stability and longevity when multiple drives are operating in close proximity. While the 'Portable External HDD' type is confusing, the other specs clearly point to a high-performance internal surveillance drive.
