Seagate Video 2.5 HDD Specifically Engineered for Video Applications
Seagate has announced the Seagate Video 2.5 HDD. A 2.5-inch drive specifically engineered for use in 24/7 video applications like digital video recorders (DVRs), set-top boxes (STBs), and surveillance applications, it has an annual failure rate of approximately 0.55, based on current configurations, enabling it to keep product in the field longer while reducing the cost of field deployment and maintaining customer retention. It also boasts 24/7 operation capabilities in extended temperature ranges and enhanced acoustics for near silent operation.
With capacities up to 500GB, the Video 2.5 HDD provides home entertainment manufacturers one and two disk, cost-optimized solutions for today’s high-definition (HD) video recording applications. Its low power consumption, 24x7 operation, and support of up to 12 streams of simultaneous HD content also make it ideal for surveillance DVR applications. Operating below the range of audible sound for the human ear at just 22db, the drive provides optimized acoustics for home entertainment components.
