Frequently Asked Questions & Store Policies
What is ImagePerfect firmware?
ImagePerfect is Seagate's custom firmware engineered to prioritize write operations, completely eliminating dropped video frames during multi-camera surveillance recording.
Can I use Seagate SkyHawk in a desktop computer?
Yes, it connects via standard SATA power and data cables and can serve as a dependable large-capacity secondary drive in any desktop PC.
How does SkyHawk Health Management (SHM) help?
SHM integrates with compatible NVR operating systems to assess environmental parameters like operating heat and chassis vibration, recommending preventive action before any hardware failure.
