Purpose-built for AI video surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk AI ST24000VE002 is a 24TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed for AI NVRs, servers and appliances running video analytics and deep learning workloads. It uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface, spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 512MB cache with CMR recording technology.

Capacity and workload headroom

The drive supports up to 64 HD video streams and 32 AI streams simultaneously while delivering zero dropped frames through ImagePerfect AI firmware. It is rated for a 550TB per year workload rate and 2.5M hours MTBF, far exceeding standard surveillance drives, though it is not intended for general-purpose desktop or archival storage.

Thermals, noise and power in normal use

The 26.10mm high, 101.85mm wide, 147.00mm long form factor fits standard 3.5-inch bays and runs at the acoustic and thermal levels typical of 7200 RPM enterprise-class surveillance drives. SkyHawk Health Management monitors drive health and RAID RapidRebuild enables volume rebuilds three times faster than traditional RAID rebuilds.

Questions about this item

Will the 24TB SATA 6.0Gb/s SkyHawk AI drive work alongside my older 7200 RPM SATA drives in the same NVR?

Yes — it uses the standard SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 3.5" form factor, so it installs in the same bays and cables as any SATA surveillance drive you already run.

How can I confirm the drive is healthy after installing it in my AI NVR?

Use the built-in SkyHawk Health Management (SHM) software in compatible NVRs; it monitors workload, temperature and SMART attributes and flags issues before they affect recording.

Does the ST24000VE002 ship with mounting screws or a SATA cable, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare OEM unit; mounting screws and a SATA data cable are not included and must be sourced separately.
