Seagate Skyhawk AI 14TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s Surveillance Internal HDD

The Seagate ST14000VE0008 is a surveillance-class hard drive that provides 14 TB of capacity in a 3.5 inch form factor. Built for security systems that use artificial intelligence, it offers the space and sustained performance needed to record footage around the clock while running real-time analytics.

The drive spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. A 256 MB cache helps it keep up with busy NVRs and servers, supporting as many as 64 high-definition camera streams alongside 16 AI analytics streams without buffering or frame loss.

Seagate’s ImagePerfect AI firmware fine-tunes the way data is written, reducing dropped frames and improving the accuracy of event detection. Whether the system is identifying faces at an entrance or tracking objects across a warehouse floor, the firmware keeps recordings consistent so analytic results stay reliable.

Reliability is reinforced by a workload rating of 550 TB per year and a mean time between failures of 1.5 million hours. For added peace of mind, Seagate includes three years of Rescue Data Recovery Services, a safety net if a drive ever suffers unexpected damage.

This model suits large multi-camera installations in retail, transportation hubs, campuses, or any environment where footage must be captured continuously and analyzed immediately. Integrators and security administrators can deploy it in NVRs, DVRs, or AI-enabled video servers knowing it is built for demanding surveillance duty cycles.
