Seagate Technology has launched the new SkyHawk AI 24TB hard disk drive (HDD) for the video and imaging applications (VIA) market. Following the recent launch of the company’s Seagate Exos X24 24TB conventional magnetic recording (CMR)-based hard drive, the new SkyHawk AI 24TB addresses the growing mass data needs of the edge security industry.
As a surge of AI-powered applications are implemented by organisations, performance and total cost of ownership (TCO) are increasingly contingent on the organisation’s ability to efficiently store and access massive sets of data. Seagate’s SkyHawk AI 24TB is a video-optimised drive designed for network video recorders (NVRs) enabled with AI for edge security applications, analysing and recording video footage while simultaneously supporting GPU analytics.
SkyHawk AI supports up to 64 HD video camera streams and 32 additional AI streams. Tailored for NVR environments with AI for running edge security applications, it supports 10,000 hours of video and analytics including the heavy workloads of AI-enabled 24/7 surveillance systems while ensuring zero dropped frames with Seagate’s ImagePerfect AI firmware.
