2.5-inch 1 TB SATA video drive
The Seagate ST1000VT001 is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a 1 TB capacity and a SATA interface. It spins at 5400 RPM and includes a 128 MB cache. The drive is built for continuous 24x7 operation in video recording and streaming devices.
5400 RPM spin speed for steady streaming
The 5400 RPM rotation speed is the key specification that determines sustained throughput for multiple video streams. It supports up to 16 simultaneous HD streams while maintaining low power draw and quiet acoustics. The firmware is tuned for smooth sequential writes rather than random access bursts.
Fits DVR, CCTV and multi-room recorders
This drive suits installers deploying digital video recorders, CCTV systems or multi-room video-on-demand setups that need 24x7 reliability at up to 75°C. It is not for builders who need higher random IOPS for operating systems or databases, nor for arrays that demand faster spindle speeds.

Questions about this item
What does 5400 RPM mean for real-world video recording?
The 5400 RPM spindle speed is tuned for 24x7 operation, low power draw and quiet running while sustaining up to 16 simultaneous HD streams in a DVR or CCTV system.
How does the SATA 6 Gb/s interface limit transfer speed in practice?
The SATA 6 Gb/s link caps the drive's maximum throughput at the SATA III ceiling; actual sustained rates follow the 5400 RPM mechanism and 128 MB cache.
Will the 7 mm, 2.5 inch form factor fit my laptop or NVR bay?
The drive uses the standard 2.5 inch, 7 mm slim profile, matching most laptop bays and compact NVR or DVR chassis that accept 2.5 inch SATA drives.
