Pipeline HD™
The industry’s leading combination of
video streaming and low-power performance
Product Overview

Seagate®Pipeline HD hard drives provide
manufacturers and system designers with the
leading combination of video streaming and
low-power performance. Ideal for consumer
DVRs, media centers and even commercial video
surveillance recording applications, Pipeline HD
drives offer comprehensive value encompassing
both practical performance considerations as well
as having an eco-friendly footprint.
Think Green Strategies
Pipeline HD drives carry Seagate Think Green
certification which provides consumers and
system designers assurance they have selected
a storage solution with leading environmental
stewardship performance. With the lowest overall
power consumption performance of any drive
in its class, Pipeline HD drives save energy and
help enable systems to achieve today’s tough
power consumption initiatives like ENERGY STAR.
In addition, Pipeline HD drives lead in overall
compliance to important environmental issues,
including:
•RoHS compliance
•PVC-free compliance
•Low-halogen compliance
•Pipeline HD drives are 75 percent recyclable,
and 50 percent of the materials for production
come from recycled sources.
And Beyond Green
In addition to being kind to the environment,
Pipeline HD drives provide system designers
with uncompromising performance for today’s
video streaming applications. Pipeline HD drives
spin at a unique speed of 5900 RPM. This was
carefully tuned by Seagate engineers to balance
performance in video delivery, achieve near-
silent operation and deliver leading low-power
performance. Pipeline HD drives can support at
least 10 simultaneous high-definition (20 Mbps)
video streams, enough to support emerging

applications such as multi-room DVR. Translated
to video surveillance applications, Pipeline HD
drives can easily support 16 channels of high-
quality video common in embedded video
surveillance DVRs. Combine this performance
with bedroom-quiet acoustics, an always on, 24x7
workload profile, and a leading predicted failure
rate of only 0.55 percent AFR, and it’s easy to see
why Pipeline HD drives have become the choice of
so many A/V system designers and manufacturers.
