ST6000VX009 6TB SATA 5400RPM 256MB Brand new original
The Seagate SkyHawk ST6000VX009 is a 6TB surveillance-optimized 3.5-inch hard drive built for continuous video recording, making it a fit for NVR/DVR system integrators and security solution resellers. With support for up to 64 HD camera streams and ImagePerfect™ firmware designed to prevent frame loss, it targets multi-channel CCTV and video analytics deployments. Note that as a surveillance drive it is optimized for sequential write workloads rather than desktop or enterprise transactional use, so match it to the intended application before purchase.

| Spindle Speed | 5400 RPM (favoring power efficiency over raw desktop-drive performance) |
| Cache | 256 MB |
| Workload Rating | Up to 180 TB/year (suitable for always-on surveillance workloads; not for enterprise NAS-class duty cycles) |
| Camera Support | Up to 64 HD video streams |

Good to know
- Compatibility: designed for surveillance DVR/NVR systems; confirm your recorder supports 6TB-per-bay capacities and SATA 6Gb/s before deployment.
- Family positioning: part of Seagate’s SkyHawk lineup, sitting below the SkyHawk AI tier — suited to standard multi-camera recording rather than heavy AI/analytics edge workloads.
- Buying tip: verify the workload rating matches your camera count and retention period — exceeding the 180 TB/year rating shortens drive life; request original-packaging stock confirmation when sourcing brand-new units.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
