4TB WD Purple Surveillance Hard Drive

WD Purple™ drives are engineered specifically for surveillance to help withstand the elevated heat fluctuations and equipment vibrations within NVR environments. An average desktop drive is built to run for only short intervals, not the harsh 24/7 always-on environment of a high-definition surveillance system. With WD Purple, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide range of security systems. Exclusive AllFrame™ technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.

Uncompromising Storage

Built for 24/7, always-on, high-definition security systems. With a supported workload rate of 180 TB/yr and support for up to 64 cameras, WD Purple drives are optimized for surveillance systems.

Less Is More

• What is the different between a HDD and a WD Purple HDD?

• What capacity do you recommend for my surveillance?
