Seagate Technology announced the world's first 8TB surveillance hard drive disk (HDD), the largest drive of its kind for surveillance applications in the industry. Targeting surveillance system integrators, end users and system installers, the Seagate surveillance HDD offers the highest capacity on the market, tailor-made for surveillance storage to keep systems in the field longer and reduce post-deployment support.
"With HD recordings now standard for surveillance applications, Seagate's surveillance HDD product line has been designed to support these extreme workloads with ease and is capable of a 180TB/year workload, three times that of a standard desktop drive. It also includes surveillance-optimized firmware to support up to 64 cameras and is the only product in the industry that can support surveillance solutions, from single-bay DVRs to large multi-bay NVR systems."
said Matt Rutledge, Senior Vice President, Client Storage at Seagate.
The 3.5-inch drive can store over 800 hours of high-definition (HD) content captured by up to 64 cameras simultaneously recording HD content. It incorporates rotational vibration sensors enabling it to reliably perform in systems with eight or more drives, as seen in the rapidly growing network video recorder market. This makes it ideal for use in businesses such as casinos or manufacturing plants, where bulk storage for HD video and video analytics are a growing necessity.
With features such as the Seagate rescue service, the HDD has a
data recovery plan protects from data loss in the event of a drive crash, virus or failure. The service is ideal for end users who lack IT support, providing peace of mind that valuable content is protected.
Seagate rescue service can typically restore data within two weeks depending on the type of recovery with a greater than 90 percent success rate. Activated at time of purchase, the rescue plan provides three years of data recovery.
