Purpose: SkyHawk 8TB buying guide
Quick answer: For a conventional recorder, start with current standard 8TB models ST8000VX009 or ST8000VX010. Choose 8TB SkyHawk AI ST8000VE001 when the recorder has heavier writes, concurrent analytics or a larger multi-bay workload. Confirm 8TB support before ordering.
