In the world of hard drives, one name we’re sure you’ve come across is Seagate as they’re one of a handful of popular hard drive manufacturers. Up until now, their hard drives have been focused on providing storage for a wide variety of customers, but today, Seagate is announcing a new hard drive specifically for storing video.
Seagate’s Video 3.5 HDD is the industry first 4TB 3.5-inch HDD that has been engineered specifically to be used in video applications such as digital video recorders (DVRs), set-top boxes and surveillance systems. THe Video 3.5 HDD can store up to 480 hours of HD content while delivering superior performance and operation in three key areas: high capacity and streaming capability, reliability and acoustics.
A total of 16 simultaneous HD streams or 20 standard-definition streams are possible with the Video 3.5 HDD as well as the ability to operate 24×7 with a 0.55% annual failure rate, making it a great drive for those looking to access material on the drive at any time.
