Seagate SkyHawk ST2000VX017 2TB Surveillance HDD

The Seagate SkyHawk 2TB is a 2TB hard drive, built for continuous 24/7 video surveillance recording, for use with CCTV and NVR systems. Available in Kuwait from AQWACO with prices in Kuwaiti Dinar and local delivery.

Purpose-Built Storage for Continuous Surveillance

The Seagate SkyHawk ST2000VX017 is a 2TB surveillance hard drive engineered for DVR and NVR security systems running 24×7 continuous recording. Its ImagePerfect™ Firmware minimises dropped frames and interruptions during simultaneous multi-camera write operations. With support for up to 64 HD cameras, it scales to demanding residential and small commercial CCTV installations.

Running at 5400 RPM over a SATA III 6Gb/s interface, the drive delivers a sustained transfer rate of up to 180 MB/s and a workload rating of 180TB/year — well above standard desktop drives. The 256MB cache keeps data flowing smoothly under heavy multi-stream write loads.

The 3.5-inch form factor fits standard DVR bays and desktop NAS enclosures. At 415 g and measuring 146.99 × 101.6 × 20.2 mm, it installs without modification into most security recorder chassis.
