"Our goal is to give the security industry another tool to help its mission in protecting the world," said Mitch Rose, sr. director Product Line Management, Seagate. "Our latest addition to the SV35 family will make security systems more reliable, better performing, and deliver more capacity. The critical nature of these applications and systems dictates a hard drive made specifically for security, and Seagate is the only company to have addressed the unique needs of surveillance video system manufacturers and integrators."

Advanced Power Management Features
Digital video recording systems for surveillance are often designed to include multiple hard drives to store the massive amounts of information collected. This can result in difficult power management challenges both at system start time as well as during operation. 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. In addition, the SV35.2 Series enables real-time power-saving modes when not in active use. This allows for much more efficient system cooling, which in turn can dramatically improve overall system reliability.

The Seagate SV35.2 Series hard drives will begin shipping in October 2006.
