Seagate SkyHawk ST32000VE000 32TB 3.5" SATA AI Video Hard Drive
The Seagate SkyHawk ST32000VE000 32TB 3.5" SATA AI Video Hard Drive is built for high-capacity video surveillance and AI-enabled recording systems. With 32TB of storage, it provides a large amount of space for continuous video recording, security footage, analytics data, and other surveillance workloads. The drive uses a 3.5-inch form factor, SATA 6 Gb/s interface, CMR recording technology, and a helium drive design.
Designed for AI video applications, the SkyHawk AI supports up to 64 HD cameras and provides 32 AI channels. It can handle up to 120 AI real-time capture events per second and up to 96 AI real-time compare events per second. This makes it suitable for NVR systems that need to record video while also processing AI-based surveillance and analytics workloads.
The ST32000VE000 also provides features designed for continuous surveillance operation. It supports unlimited drive bays, includes rotational vibration sensors, and offers a 512MB cache. Its maximum sustained transfer rate is up to 285 MB/s, helping the drive handle large volumes of video data efficiently. Seagate rates the drive for a 550 workload rate limit and 8,760 power-on hours per year.
For reliability, the drive is designed for demanding 24/7 video workloads and includes SkyHawk Health Management support. It has a listed MTBF of 250,000 hours, a 5-year limited warranty, and 3 years of Rescue Data Recovery Services. Seagate positions SkyHawk AI drives for NVRs, surveillance systems, and edge security applications where continuous recording and AI video analytics are required.
The Seagate SkyHawk ST32000VE000 is therefore a strong choice for large surveillance installations, AI-enabled NVRs, security recording systems, and video analytics environments that require high capacity, continuous operation, and support for multiple HD camera streams.
