Our take on the Seagate SkyHawk AI SATA III 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate SkyHawk AI is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for surveillance NVRs and AI-enabled recorders. It holds 24TB at 7200 rpm over SATA 6Gb/s and is rated for around 550TB of workload per year, with ImagePerfect firmware tuned for continuous multi-stream video writes. It suits installers and businesses running many cameras with on-device analytics. Against the standard SkyHawk line it adds higher workload capacity and more AI stream support; against desktop drives like the Barracuda it trades general-purpose speed for 24/7 write endurance.

Questions and answers

Is this drive meant for a normal desktop PC?: It works in a PC, but it is tuned for continuous surveillance writes rather than everyday desktop use. For general storage a desktop or NAS drive is a better fit.
How many cameras can it handle?: Seagate rates the SkyHawk AI line for AI-enabled recorders with many simultaneous streams. The exact camera count depends on resolution, bitrate and your NVR's channel limit.
Does it work with any NVR?: It uses standard SATA 6Gb/s and fits most NVRs and DVRs with 3.5-inch bays. Check that your recorder supports 24TB drives before installing.
Is it better than the regular SkyHawk?: The AI version is aimed at recorders with on-device analytics and heavier workloads. A standard SkyHawk is enough for a small basic camera setup.
How loud and hot does it run?: At 7200 rpm it is louder and warmer than low-speed surveillance drives. Plan airflow in multi-bay enclosures.
What comes in the box?: The drive itself, with mounting screws in most retail packs. SATA and power cables are usually not included.
Where is the Seagate SkyHawk AI SATA III 3.5" Internal Hard Drive cheapest?: At Best Buy, for $1,029.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Seagate SkyHawk AI SATA III 3.5" Internal Hard Drive?: 2 stores we checked sell it, including Best Buy, Newegg.
