Product Features
Desktop drives vs.
surveillance-class storage
WD Purple surveillance-class storage
has been tested to be compatible
in a wide-range of security systems.
These drives are designed to replace
standard desktop drives that were
not designed for the harsh 24/7
always-on, high-denition surveillance
environment. Desktop drives are
built to run for only short intervals
and are not engineered to withstand
high-temperature uctuations and
equipment vibrations found in a typical
surveillance application.
Engineered for compatibility
WD Purple surveillance hard drives
are built for compatibility with
industry-leading chassis and chip set
manufacturers for seamless integration
into your new or existing video
surveillance system.
Surveillance storage for
peace-of-mind
Whether you’re protecting your
personal assets and loved ones
or monitoring the business you
worked hard to build, you can rely on
surveillance-class storage built by one
of the largest hard drive manufacturers
in the world.
WD Purple Surveillance Hard Drives
are designed for high temperature,
always-on, surveillance security
systems to ensure reliability and quality
video play back when you need it
most. Experience the security of
knowing you’re using a surveillance–
class drive designed by a leader in the
hard drive industry.
Optimized performance for
up to 32 HD cameras
WD Purple hard drives are optimized
to support up to 32 high-denition
surveillance cameras, giving you the
exibility to upgrade and expand your
security system in the future.
Improve performance
with AllFrame™
WD Purple surveillance-class hard
drives are equipped with AllFrame
technology which works with ATA
streaming to reduce frame loss,
improve playback and increases the
number of drive bays supported.
AllFrame reduces video interruptions
that commonly occur when desktop
hard drives are incorrectly used as
storage in security systems. Missed
frames and lost footage is a serious
problem when an event occurs and
surveillance footage needs to be
retrieved. WD Purple with AllFrame
provides the condence you should
expect when it’s time to play back and
review critical surveillance footage.
3-year limited warranty
Trust a company with the condence
to stand behind their surveillance
storage products with a 3-year limited
warranty.
Lower power consumption
Low power consumption is crucial
in high-temperature always-on
surveillance environments. With
exclusive IntelliSeek
™
technology,
WD Purple drives calculate the
optimum seek speeds which lowers
power consumption, noise and
vibration that can damage and cause
drives to wear out more quickly. When
you invest in a premium surveillance-
class drive you worry less while
enjoying the benets over a longer
period of time.
1 million hours MTBF
Best-in-class reliability for mainstream
3.5-inch form-factor surveillance
storage.*
* Based on a surveillance usage of <60 TB/year transferred at 25°C
ambient environment with up to 16 cameras.
