Features
WD Purple Surveillance Hard Drive
Uncompromising Surveillance Storage
WD Purple drives are designed to meet the challenges of 24x7 video surveillance recording. These 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 drives, 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.
- Engineered for mainstream surveillance systems
- WD AllFrame technology delivers optimisations for write-intensive, low bit-rate, high stream-count workloads typical to mainstream surveillance applications
- Supports up to 180TB/yr workload rate and up to 16 bays
Industry-Leading Storage. Surveillance You Can Trust
Western Digital has provided surveillance-grade storage for more than a decade. With WD Purple surveillance storage, drives are engineered for high temperature, always-on surveillance systems so you can rely on quality video when you need it most. WD Purple delivers smart video storage that you can trust and are backed by a 3-year limited warranty (See https://support.wdc.com/warranty for regional specific warranty details.).
Western Digital's Exclusive AllFrame™ Technology
All WD Purple drives are equipped with AllFrame™ technology, which helps reduce video frame drops and improves video recording and playback.
Enhanced Workload Ratings
WD Purple drives feature a workload rating of up to 180TB/year (Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualised (TB transferred ✕ (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.) - up to three times that of desktop drives - to handle the unique demands of mainstream video surveillance DVR and NVR systems.
Multiple Cameras, Multiple Streams
Modern recorders now support multiple video streams per camera. WD Purple drives support up to 64 single-stream HD cameras (Single stream at 3.2Mbps (1080p, H.265, 25 fps) for WD22PURZ, WD33PURZ, WD42PURZ, WD43PURZ, WD60PURZ, WD62PURZ, WD63PURZ, WD64PURZ, WD84PURZ and 2.6Mbps (720p, H.265, 25 fps) for WD10PURZ, WD20PURZ, WD30PURZ, WD40PURZ. Results may vary depending on camera resolution, file format, frames per second, software, system settings, video quality, and other factors.). With so many options, you have the flexibility to upgrade or expand your security applications in the future.
Designed for Surveillance Solutions
With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours (MTBF specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions: workload of 90TB/year and drive temperature of 40°C. Derating of MTBF will occur above these parameters, up to 65°C drive temperature. MTBF does not predict an individual drive’s reliability and does not constitute a warranty.), WD Purple drives are engineered for mainstream surveillance DVRs and NVRs that operate 24/7. With tarnish-resistant components (Tarnish resistant components for capacities 3TB (WD33PURZ), 4TB and higher.) and support in storage systems with more than eight drive bays (1TB through 3TB (WD30PURZ) support up to eight bays; 3TB (WD33PURZ) and 4TB and above support up to 16 bays.), WD Purple drives deliver reliable operation even in harsh environments.
Wide Compatibility. Seamless Integration
WD Purple hard drives are built with compatibility in mind, so you can quickly and seamlessly add capacity to your surveillance system. With a wide range of industry-leading enclosures and chipsets supported, you’re sure to find the DVR or NVR configuration that’s right for you.
Three-Year Limited Warranty
