SAY Security Group USA announces that it is using Seagate's SV35 Series hard drives, the first hard drives optimized specifically for the unique requirements of digital video surveillance systems.
- Less Heat
- Less Noise
- Last Longer
- Five year warranty
- Up to 750 GB
SV35 Series hard drives do more than just deliver outstanding capacity; they also address the disk drive durability challenges with always-on surveillance environments. Given the potentially critical nature of the security data involved, the application-specific features employed in the SV35 Series drive to enhance reliability take on even great significance.
Advanced power management features-
SV35 Series drives requires lower startup current, enabling the design of low-cost power supplies. The Drives also include the capability to power down when not in use, saving both power and enabling more efficient system cooling.
Intelligent workload monitoring-
SV35 Series drives utilize monitoring algorithms to sense specific workload profiles that can stress key systems and then take corrective actions.
Designed for 24x7 operations-
SV35 Series hard drives can withstand the intense duty cycles common in digital video recording for security and surveillance
The enhanced functionality of the SV35 Series drives doesn’t end there. Video security drives are primarily used for streaming video, but they must also be capable of conventional data reads and writes, used in the course of managing video databases and related applications. SV35 Series drives support the ATA-7 command set, enabling their read/ write profiles to be tuned to video- or data- specific, as appropriate.
Summary: Desktop Dvrive vs. Seagate SV35 Series Drive
