Yes, Elite Infotech supplies genuine Seagate SkyHawk AI surveillance hard drives for professional CCTV and AI surveillance installations across the UAE.
Elite Infotech supplies the Seagate SkyHawk AI and SkyHawk surveillance hard drive range across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. These are purpose-built CCTV drives designed for continuous video recording with AI analytics running alongside it — the workload that causes desktop drives to drop frames and fail early. Capacities run from 1TB to 32TB, supplied as genuine stock with manufacturer warranty intact.
A security recorder inverts normal storage behaviour: it writes almost constantly and reads almost never, and it never idles.
Every Seagate SkyHawk AI hard drive is engineered for that:
The two are quoted interchangeably and they should not be.
SkyHawk covers roughly 1TB to 8TB with a workload rating around 180TB/year. It is built for straightforward continuous recording in small and mid-size DVR and NVR systems. ST1000VX005 at 1TB remains the standard entry point for villas and small offices.
SkyHawk AI starts at 8TB and runs to 32TB at 7200 RPM with the 550TB/year rating and AI stream capability.
The rule is simple: if the site runs analytics — licence plate capture, people counting, intrusion detection — specify SkyHawk AI.
| Capacity | Typical models | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| 1TB – 4TB | ST1000VX005 | Villas, small retail, 4–8 cameras |
| 8TB | ST8000VE001 | Mid-size NVR, 16–32 cameras |
| 10TB – 12TB | ST10000VE001, ST10000VE0008, ST12000VE001, ST12000VE003 | Commercial buildings, warehouses, 30-day retention |
| 16TB – 20TB | ST16000VE002, ST16000VE004, ST20000VE002, ST20000VE003 | Malls, campuses, logistics, multi-bay RAID NVRs |
| 24TB – 32TB | ST24000VE002, ST32000VE000 | Very high camera counts and long mandated retention |
Four variables set the requirement: camera count, bitrate, hours recorded per day, and retention period.
Bitrate (Mbps) ÷ 8 × 3,600 × hours per day × days × cameras ÷ 1,000,000 = terabytes required
Sixteen cameras at 4Mbps recording continuously for 30 days works out at roughly 21TB usable — three 8TB drives at minimum, more once parity is applied. Leave 15–20% headroom so the recorder is not overwriting at the moment footage is needed, and check whether the site falls under a mandated minimum retention period. Send us your camera count, resolution and retention requirement and we will size it for you.
Surveillance drives are often bundled into an installation quote rather than specified line by line, which is precisely how grey-market and refurbished stock enters projects. A failed surveillance drive is not just a hardware cost , it is a gap in the footage.
Elite Infotech supplies genuine Seagate storage through authorised distribution with verified serials, original packaging and regionally claimable warranty. We can also confirm the drive against your recorder manufacturer’s compatibility list before you order in volume. Browse the full range of CCTV and security systems
It will work initially and fail early. Desktop drives are not rated for continuous write duty and drop frames under multi-camera load.
Up to 64 HD streams plus around 32 AI streams, depending on model and bitrate.
For anything beyond a small system, yes. Without redundancy, a single drive failure removes every recording stored on it.
SkyHawk AI competes with the WD Purple Pro tier — both 7200 RPM, both 550TB/year, both with AI stream support. Standard SkyHawk sits against standard WD Purple.
