- Is this drive meant for a home NAS or desktop PC?
- No. It is built for surveillance NVRs and AI recording systems. For NAS use, Seagate's IronWolf line is the correct choice.
- How many cameras can it handle?
- Seagate rates SkyHawk AI drives for AI-enabled NVRs with many streams, typically 16 or more cameras. Check your NVR's supported drive list before installing.
- Does it work with any NVR?
- It uses a standard SATA 6Gb/s interface, so most NVRs accept it. Confirm your recorder supports 24TB drives, since older firmware may cap capacity.
- What is included with the drive?
- The drive itself plus Seagate's three-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan. Cables and mounting screws are not included.
- Should I buy this or a smaller SkyHawk AI model?
- Choose 24TB if you want maximum retention per bay and have good cooling. Smaller models cost less per drive and suit setups with fewer cameras.
