Seagate - ST8000VE000 Skyhawk AI ST8000VE000 8 TB Hard Drive - 3.5 Internal - SATA (SATA/600) - Network Video Recorder, Video Surveillance System Device Supported - 7200rpm - 256 MB Buffer -

Works as intended so far

I have several NAS boxes and am using 10 of these. Some are on their 3rd year with no issues. Not the quietest drive but they "Just work" I would recommend to anyone with a NVR or NAS that they depend on.

Drive came without the skyhawk picture which had me a bit on the curious side. I had the 2TB version and it appeared to be quicker for my NVR and without a doubt at all the 2TB runs quieter and cooler but still this thing is a lot less loud than the WD Purple series drive.Over all it is a bit louder than 2TB variant.Keep in mind the drive I got had a plain white label so could be a knockoff?Runs HOT.A bit on the pricey side as well being 1/2 the size of the largest drive available to market.

Unut works and do not hear any noise from it in my security dvr.

The two drives I received had white labels on them not the normal SkyHawk labels. I have a new AI NVR that use the SkyHawk drives for AI health checks. I installed these two drives and the NVR did not see these drives as SkyHawk AI so I contacted Seagate gave them the serial numbers and one came up as a EXOS 7E a cheaper drive and they could not tell me what the other drive was by the serial number on the drive. I am returning these drives and will buy them from another site. Beware if you get the white label drive you may be getting a total different drive than you ordered and paid for. Check with Seagate on those white label ones look like a bait and switch by someone. I gave one Star not for the drive but to warn others about getting the wrong cheaper drive and not a real SkyHawk AI. I ordered two 8TB drives.

This hard drive is just dead and they will not even respond to my inquiries. This is not a good vendor.

quiero que cancele este articulo lo mas pronto cancelar esta orde gracias

I bought this hard drive because I thought paying more for it would mean it would last longer then the 8TB 5400RPM drive I still have which was an external for $150 but I was wrong. I have had the 5400RPM for a while & its been a good drive sadly though everything that was important to me including my website was backed up on the 7200RPM & now I am having to redo my website because I was not aware it had failed when I wiped out my web space to clean it up. Now I am at a serious loss as all my freeware apps I was working on & had already created over the years is gone along with all my designs, art, etc. No other backups. I will not buy another of these & Seagate is my favorite brand of mechanical hard drives. Serious loss of money & of content. Programs that can no longer be bought or downloaded but were still usable also gone. I am not a very happy camper right now.Update 04/09/2024 - Keep in mind though I most likely ended up with a factory screw up because in general I have had very few if any problems with this brand in this past & its my preferred when dealing with older drives though now days I use the M2 drives most when possible & when the prices drop on the 8TB + I will get away from them entirely.
