Product Description
A 1TB 3.5" SATA drive built for continuous recording rather than desktop use. The Seagate 1TB SATA Hard Drive for CCTV DVR, MPN ST1000VM002, is a Seagate Pipeline HD video drive designed for DVR and NVR storage duty, where the disk writes video around the clock instead of handling occasional file access.
Spindle speed is quoted as both 5900 RPM and 7200 RPM, so check the exact figure against the manufacturer's datasheet before specifying it against a particular recorder's throughput requirement.
Where it fits
- CCTV recorders: DVR and NVR surveillance systems running 24/7 continuous recording
- Home cinema systems and IPTV set-top boxes: video storage and streaming
- General storage: desktops, servers, NAS devices and external enclosures
Drive characteristics
- Up to 1,000 hours of video storage
- Ultra-quiet operation, low heat output and energy-efficient running, useful where the unit sits in a living space
- Pipeline HD features: built-in error recovery, high burst data transfer rates and advanced caching
- SATA III interface for data transfer between drive and recorder
Supplied with your kit
Offered for installation with any of our CCTV kits and packages, and fully installed and ready to go before dispatch.
Practical selection factors
The 1,000-hour figure is an upper limit; real recording time depends on channel count, resolution and retention period. Confirm your recorder's drive-bay and interface requirements match before ordering.
