Description
Seagate SkyHawk 1TB CCTV Hard Drive — Reliable Surveillance Storage
The Seagate SkyHawk 1TB CCTV hard drive is purpose-built for modern video surveillance systems. Unlike desktop drives, SkyHawk drives are tuned for sustained, high-write workloads common in DVRs and NVRs. With ImagePerfect™ firmware, rotational vibration (RV) sensors, and a SATA III interface, this drive delivers stable recording, fewer dropped frames, and long-term durability for 24/7 operation.
Why SkyHawk Is the Right Choice for CCTV
Surveillance recorders demand continuous data writes and resilience under constant operation. The SkyHawk 1TB drive was designed for that environment: its firmware reduces frame loss, its mechanical design dissipates heat efficiently, and its error recovery controls are tuned for video workloads. This translates to more reliable footage capture, consistent playback, and less maintenance over time.
Key Benefits
- 24/7 Reliability: Built and verified for round-the-clock video recording.
- ImagePerfect™ Firmware: Minimizes dropped frames and improves playback quality.
- RV Sensors: Maintain performance in multi-drive enclosures (important for multi-bay NVRs).
- SATA III (6 Gb/s): Fast, compatible interface for most DVRs and NVRs.
- Low Power & Heat: Designed for continuous use with efficient thermal characteristics.
- Compatibility: Works well with major brands such as Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview.

How Much Footage Will 1TB Store?
Storage varies by camera resolution and compression settings. As a rule of thumb, a 1TB surveillance drive can hold several days to weeks of footage for a multi-camera home system (for example, 4–8 cameras at 1080p, depending on frame rate and compression). Use your DVR/NVR estimates or consult your installer to size storage needs precisely.
Installation & Compatibility
Installing the SkyHawk 1TB is straightforward: power down your DVR/NVR, mount the drive in an available bay, connect SATA power and data cables, and follow the recorder’s initialization procedure. The drive’s SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility with modern DVR and NVR hardware. If you use a multi-bay recorder, the SkyHawk’s RV sensors help maintain consistent performance across all drives.
Best Practices for Longevity
- Ensure adequate ventilation in the DVR/NVR cabinet to dissipate heat.
- Use a dedicated power supply or UPS for critical surveillance systems.
- Schedule periodic checks and backups of vital footage to external storage.
- Match drive workload expectations—consider higher-capacity SkyHawk drives for larger camera arrays or longer retention.
