ST8000VX010 8TB SATA 5400RPM 256MB Brand new original
The Seagate SkyHawk ST8000VX010 is an 8TB surveillance-optimized hard drive built for continuous video recording in NVR and DVR environments. It suits system integrators and security distributors building multi-camera installations that need sustained sequential write throughput rather than desktop-grade random performance. Note that sustained throughput and power behavior can vary by host platform and SATA link configuration, so verify compatibility with your recorder’s drive compatibility list before volume procurement.

Good to know
- Designed for surveillance NVR/DVR chassis; confirm your recorder supports 8TB-capacity SATA drives and check firmware compatibility, as some older NVRs limit per-bay capacity.
- Within Seagate’s drive families, the 5400 RPM spindle and ImagePerfect™ firmware differentiate the SkyHawk line from desktop (Barracuda) drives — it prioritizes sustained streaming writes and multi-camera workloads over random I/O performance.
- For multi-unit deployments, order from the same batch and match firmware revisions where possible to simplify fleet management; request original packaging and labeling verification when sourcing brand-new stock for export.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
