• Suitable for continuous operation

Industry-leading storage

Western Digital has been providing video surveillance storage solutions for more than a decade. With WD Purple hard drives, you get video surveillance storage designed to withstand continuous operation in surveillance systems and high temperatures to ensure high-quality video playback at all times.

Western Digital’s exclusive AllFrame™ technology

All WD Purple hard drives feature AllFrame™ technology, which reduces frame loss and improves video recording and playback.

Higher workload rate

WD Purple hard drives offer a workload rate of up to 180 TB/year ¹ . That’s three times more than WD’s desktop hard drives. This makes them ideal for the high requirements of modern DVR and NVR video surveillance systems.

Multiple cameras, multiple streams

Modern recorders now support multiple video streams per camera. WD Purple hard drives support up to 64 single-stream HD cameras ² . Given this diversity, you can flexibly expand your security system at any time.

For video surveillance

With an MTBF of more than 1 million hours3, ^WD Purple is designed for continuous operation in commercial DVR and NVR surveillance systems. WD Purple hard drives are made from tarnish-resistant components ⁴ and are therefore suitable for harsh environmental conditions. They enable reliable operation in surveillance environments with more than eight drive bays ⁴ .

1. Workload rate is the amount of user data transferred to or from the disk. Annual Workload Rate = TB Transferred ? (8,760/hours recorded). Workload rate may vary depending on hardware and software components and configurations.

2. A stream at 3.2 Mbps (1080p, H.265, 25 FPS) for WD22PURZ, WD33PURZ, WD42PURZ, WD43PURZ, WD60PURZ, WD62PURZ, WD63PURZ, WD64PURZ, WD84PURZ and 2.6 Mbps (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.

3. The MTBF specifications are based on sample data and are estimated for this storage model using statistical surveys and acceleration algorithms under average operating conditions: workload of 90 TB/year and disk temperature of 40 °C. If these values ​​are exceeded, there will be a reduction in MTBF. Up to 65°C hard drive temperature. MTBF does not predict the reliability of an individual hard drive and is not a guarantee.

4. Tarnish-resistant components for 3TB (WD33PURZ), 4TB and above.
