The SV35.5 Series hard drive is built for 24×7 use and has features that make SDVR integration easy, making it suitable for the demands of the growing video surveillance market.

The Seagate SV35.5 hard drive provides many benefits for video surveillance environments over standard hard drives including: performance-tuned 140 MB/s sustained sequential data rates and ATA-7 streaming commands for high-speed transfers, enhanced caching capabilities and built-in error recovery for non-stop streaming, thermal monitoring and reporting, unique user-selectable partitioning, low spin-up power, and best-in-class acoustics for extremely quiet operation.

The SV35.5 hard drive offers flexible DVR design capabilities as a video surveillance DVR, network DVR, or for direct and network-attached JBOD video surveillance storage.

The hardware requirements for the surveillance market are especially critical and dictate the use of HDDs that are made specifically for the needs of video system manufacturers and integrators, said Carla Kennedy, senior vice president of Seagate’s Enterprise Product Line Management group. With its optimized performance and capacity that can store over one full month of high-resolution video, the Seagate SV35.5 Series(TM) hard drive is a prime example of Seagate delivering a feature-rich solution that customers have requested.

Seagate SV35.5 Hard Drive for Surveillance OEMs and System Builders

The Seagate SV35.5 hard drive fulfills the need for more storage capacity at optimized power consumption and acoustics for digital video recording OEMs and system builders. Using perpendicular recording technology, it offers capacities up to 1TB while providing optimum performance while drawing minimal power from system resources. With its powerful surveillance features and backed by the Seagate five year limited warranty, the new hard drives enable OEM and system builders to set themselves apart from the competition by delivering lower operational costs with best-in-class reliability.

While we continue to use the Barracuda ES series for our enterprise class RAID solutions, the Seagate SV35 series is a perfect solution for our very successful series of non-RAID DVRs, said Pelco product marketing manager Yvonne Schwemmer. The fact that Seagate has engineered these drives for the video surveillance market gives us increased confidence in the products we deliver to a demanding marketplace.
