The ST4000VX016 is Seagate’s 4TB surveillance-class SATA drive, engineered for continuous 24/7 video recording in CCTV and IP camera NVR deployments. It is a staple SKU for security distributors, system integrators, and IT procurement teams sourcing storage for multi-camera surveillance projects, thanks to ImagePerfect™ firmware that sustains up to 64 simultaneous HD video streams.
From a procurement standpoint, its 5900 RPM spindle and 180 TB/year workload rating define it as a video-write specialist: well matched to continuous surveillance recording, but not intended as a general-purpose desktop or enterprise database drive. Stock is held in regular volume with batch consistency maintained across orders, so mixed-quantity shipments within a single project rollout can be fulfilled from the same production batch.
All units are brand new original, sourced through authorized channels, and carry full manufacturer warranty support. Our RMA desk handles warranty claims on behalf of wholesale buyers, minimizing downtime for reseller and integration customers. Shipments are export-ready with CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance documentation available on request for customs and tender filings.

Good to know (for integrators and resellers)
- For multi-bay NVR/DVR chassis, verify 4TB+ drive support and adequate cooling; the drive’s reduced power and thermal profile suits dense surveillance enclosures.
- Within Seagate’s lineup, SkyHawk sits between desktop and enterprise NAS drives — tuned for continuous sequential video writes, not random-access enterprise workloads. Position it accordingly in your product mix.
- Confirm required quantities, batch requirements, and packaging format (bulk carton vs. retail box) with your sales contact before order confirmation.
