Seagate has unveiled a series of hard drives which is designed for commercial video security market. These drives stores incredible amounts of digital video data and provides unprecedented fast access and review of recorded video not possible on legacy tape-based systems. SV35.2 series of drives are definitely increasing its capabilities in meeting the unique needs of video security and surveillance customers. The Seagate SV35.2 Series hard drive provides a low start-up current (~2.0A) that enables the use of efficient, low cost power supplies. Using perpendicular recording these drives can store up to 750GB of data.
