Seagate Technology has announced the Seagate Video 2.5 HDD, a 2.5-inch drive specifically designed for 24/7 video applications such as DVRs, set-top boxes, and surveillance applications. The Video 2.5 HDD boasts high performance in three key areas of importance to manufacturers: high reliability, acoustics, and energy efficiency. Based on current configurations, the new drive has an annual failure rate of roughly 0.55, which allows customers to keep it in the field longer all the while reducing the cost of field deployment and maintaining customer retention. The Video 2.5 HDD also has 24/7 operation capabilities in extended temperature ranges as well as enhanced acoustics for virtually silent operation.
