Description

Description

The WD Purple series of drives is designed for surveillance systems with a SATA III interface. They are specifically built for high-definition security systems within an NVR environment, supporting a workload of up to 180 TB/year and providing support for up to 64 cameras.

Uncompromising storage with WD Purple Surveillance hard drive

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

Western Digital's exclusive AllFrame technology

All WD Purple units are equipped with AllFrame technology, which improves ATA streaming to reduce frame loss and enhance overall video playback through a multitude of security video solutions.

Improved workload ratings

WD Purple™ drives have a workload rating of up to 180 TB/year - up to three times that of desktop drives - to meet the unique demands of mainstream DVR and NVR video surveillance systems

Multiple cameras, multiple streams

Modern recording devices now support multiple video streams per camera. WD Purple drives support up to 64 single-stream HD cameras and can also support many of the latest cameras that transmit multiple streams to enable basic AI functionality. With so many options, you have the flexibility to upgrade or expand your security applications in the future.

Designed for the surveillance solutions of today and tomorrow

With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours, WD Purple drives are designed for general-purpose surveillance DVRs and NVRs that operate 24/7. With tarnished components and support for more than eight bays, WD Purple drives provide reliable operation even in harsh environments

Proactive storage management with WDDA

Western Digital Device Analytics™ (WDDA) provides a wealth of parametric operational and diagnostic storage device data to the system. Algorithms interpret the data and direct the system to notify system administrators of specific recommended actions to address potential issues. WDDA is intended to empower OEMs, system integrators, and IT professionals to better monitor and proactively manage supported storage devices to maintain optimal operation.

    Do you know if this particular drive works as an external one if you put it inside the case (2.5”/3.5” SATA USB 3.0 UGREEN US222 50422 external hard drive enclosure) that I have? Because I bought it, I put it in the above case and it doesn't detect it, while the same case detects another older drive.

    So far, since I have had it for about 2 months, I have written and erased many TB, it works great. I have it in a USB3 docking station. Transfer speed is 120+ MB/s, it goes just fine.
