Now in its tenth year of shipping surveillance drives, Seagate’s latest 10TB SkyHawk product is for surveillance systems needing large storage for network video recording (NVR), part of the company’s Guardian Series of 10TB (terabyte) products.

SkyHawk drives use rotational vibration sensors to help minimise read-write errors, the makers say, and can support the 64 cameras, more than any other drive on the market, it is claimed. The product is suitable the manufacturers add for modern, hi-resolution systems running 24-7, SkyHawk drives also come with a data recovery services option.
