| Model |
SkyHawk (4TB, +Rescue) |
| Part Number / MPN |
ST4000VX016 |
| EAN / GTIN |
8719706028288 (matches the EAN Seagate lists in its EU price list) |

| Drive & Interface |
| Capacity |
4TB |
| Form Factor |
3.5-inch internal |
| Interface |
SATA 6Gb/s |
| Cache |
256 MB |
| Spindle Speed |
5,400 RPM — published only in Seagate product manual 201370100 Rev H (January 2024); every datasheet and every earlier manual revision omits it, and the “5,900 RPM” figure seen in some listings has no Seagate source |
| Recording Technology |
CMR — conventional (non-shingled) magnetic recording, stated as an explicit datasheet line |
| Max Sustained Transfer Rate |
180 MB/s |
| Reliability & Workload |
| Workload Rate Limit |
<180 TB per year, annualised |
| MTBF |
1,000,000 hours |
| Annualised Failure Rate |
0.87% — product manual only, this figure is absent from the datasheets |
| Load / Unload Cycles |
600,000 |
| Non-Recoverable Read Errors |
1 per 10E14 bits read |
| Power-On Hours |
8,760 per year (24×7) |
| Rotational Vibration Sensors |
Sources conflict — the GB edition of DS1902.17 and DS2118.1 both list “Yes”, while the US edition of DS1902.17 shows a dash. Two of the three editions state the sensors are fitted. |
| Surveillance Ratings |
| Max Drive Bays |
Sources conflict — the GB datasheet edition and DS2118.1 state up to 16 bays, the US datasheet edition says up to 8, and the product manual writes “8+” |
| Max Camera Streams |
Up to 64 HD cameras |
| Stream Test Conditions |
Seagate does not publish stream test conditions for the standard SkyHawk. The 1080p / H.265 / 25 fps footnote circulated with this figure belongs to SkyHawk AI only and is not carried over here. |
| Power, Acoustics & Environment |
| Power — Read/Write |
3.7 W |
| Power — Idle |
2.5 W |
| Power — Standby / Sleep |
0.25 W |
| Acoustics |
2.3 bels idle, 2.7 bels seek — product manual only, the datasheets omit acoustics entirely |
| Operating Temperature |
0 to 65 °C |
| Non-Operating Temperature |
−40 to 70 °C |
| Physical |
| Dimensions |
20.20 × 101.6 × 146.99 mm |
| Weight |
490 g — product manual and the GB datasheet edition. The 630 g printed in the US datasheet edition is the 6–8 TB figure; a 2-head, 1-disc drive 20.20 mm tall cannot weigh that. |
| Heads / Discs |
2 heads, 1 disc |
| Services & Warranty |
| Rescue Data Recovery |
3 years, included in the box |
| Warranty |
1-Year Warranty (Singular) |
| Manufacturer Term |
Seagate publishes a 3-year limited warranty for this model in both its AMER and EMEA datasheets. Singular’s direct warranty is 1 year; beyond that we assist you with the manufacturer’s warranty process for its full duration. |
| Not Published by Seagate |
| Omitted Specifications |
Latency, air or helium fill, and the annualised failure rate inside the datasheets are not published for this drive. Seagate also publishes no EAN in the datasheet or manual — the code above comes from the product record and the EU price list. |
