- Is this drive meant for a home NVR or a PC?
- It is built for DVR, NVR and IP camera recorders running 24/7. Seagate does not position it for desktop or NAS RAID use.
- How many cameras can one 32TB drive support?
- It depends on resolution, frame rate and retention. At typical 4MP continuous recording, 32TB holds weeks of footage from a large camera count, so check your recorder's storage calculator.
- Does it work with AI-enabled recorders?
- Yes. The ImagePerfect AI firmware is tuned for NVRs that run AI analytics alongside recording.
- How does it compare with the standard SkyHawk?
- The AI version is rated for heavier workloads and AI recorders. Standard SkyHawk drives top out at lower capacities and lower yearly workload ratings.
- What is in the box?
- The drive itself. SATA cables, screws and mounting hardware are not included, so check what your recorder or enclosure provides.
- Should I use two in RAID?
- Seagate does not rate SkyHawk AI for RAID. For mirrored or parity storage, use a drive rated for NAS workloads.
