Overview

Purple, the colour of video surveillance

WD Purple video surveillance hard drives offer exclusive AllFrame technology to give you the best possible reliability and peace of mind when installing your home or small business security system. The development of proprietary WD Purple firmware features that use SATA reduces pixel errors and image loss.

This happens when using PC drives in dedicated CCTV system storage. WD Purple is designed for 24/7 high-definition video surveillance and security systems with up to sixteen hard drives and 32 cameras. Choose a hard drive designed and engineered for small business and home surveillance systems, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a hard drive produced specifically for surveillance.

Storage designed for video surveillance

WD Purple surveillance storage has been designed to replace standard desktop hard drives that are not optimised for the demanding environments of high definition surveillance. Desktop HDDs are designed to operate only over limited time intervals and not to withstand the high temperatures and severe vibration found in most surveillance applications.

Record, store your surveillance data

The WD Purple HDD range opens up new possibilities in video surveillance by supporting the capture of multiple high-resolution video streams while simultaneously accessing recorded video for deep learning and analysis on capacities from 8TB.

    Quite impressive - Perfect for video

    I bought this drive in September 2022 (with a Synology DVA3221 NAS), on average it has received over 150 TB of data per year and... it's still working perfectly. I'm looking at changing it soon (because I don't want to wait for it to break down and I'm also going to be doing backups, so it's not really what I'm cut out for), but you could say that it's more than fulfilled its mission...!
    (Mind you, this type of drive is great for video, but not for backing up your computer/files -> it's designed not to correct a bit that's lost when there's a problem with writing, because you don't care if you lose a pixel on a video, but for a Word file it's not the case at all! )

    Not silent

    I received it quickly and well protected as usual, it heats up a bit 47° after a few hours of transfer (plugged on a usb dock so not ventilated), good To/price ratio, you can hear the hard disk scratching at times (hence one star less). Good transfer rate 182Mb/sec (my seagate 8Tb 5900trs drive does 125Mb/sec but it is a bit old, on the other hand it is silent).

    Every second disc is defective

    When I got out of the box, plugged into the NAS, one of the two disks slammed and the NAS showed a hardware failure.
    I had to leave one of the two old disks at the end of its life to plan the replacement of one of the two disks ordered, so ...

    I contact the SAV to ask for the replacement of this one. To be continued...

    Good advice from the seller.

    The advisor on the phone was very responsive and gave me advice on how to change my initial choice for better and cheaper.
