- Is this drive meant for a desktop PC?
- No. It is a surveillance drive tuned for continuous video writes. For a desktop, use a standard Seagate BarraCuda; for a NAS, use IronWolf.
- How many cameras can it handle?
- Seagate rates the SkyHawk AI line for up to 64 HD camera streams, making it suited to large NVR setups with AI analytics.
- Will my recorder support 32TB?
- Only if the recorder's firmware supports drives of this size. Check the NVR's compatibility list before buying, and update firmware if needed.
- Is it good for a RAID NAS?
- No. It lacks NAS-specific vibration and error-recovery tuning. Use IronWolf or IronWolf Pro drives for RAID arrays.
- What is the difference from a regular SkyHawk?
- SkyHawk AI adds support for AI-enabled recorders and heavier analytics workloads, with higher stream counts and a larger cache.
