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.

Failed after a year of use, has 3 year warranty.
Failed after a 1 year and 1 month of use. I had to pay the shipping to return it to WD for replacement; let’s see if WD’s warranty will send a new one or fixed/refurbished/renewed one.

Works as expected
I needed a 16TB space for my NVR. WD Purple is a tried-and-true drive. Best Buy had it in stock, and the price was better than Amazon’s.

Gets the job done
Gets the job done. I would purchase again if needed.

Works as expected
I bought this HD for my security camera system after first trying a Seagate, which failed within one week. So far, so good. I’m running it in a Vantec Nexstar JX enclosure and it is doing a great job of handling the stream from 7 high def cameras
-
Quality security drive.
Dive works very well for the application I needed. It runs read and write 24/7 and has worked flawlessly. The specs are perfect and the quality feels very high/

Great Product !
This was just what I needed for my purpose and it works great.
-
A tried-and true drive
I needed a bigger drive for my NVR. WD Purple is a tried-and-true drive. Best Buy had it in stock (delivered via FedEx), and the price was better than Amazon’s, which also had a 2-week delivery backlog.

WD PURPLE
So far, no problems with the way it’s been working.Does its job and it does it well.
-
Horrible shipping
They shipped this device like amazon ships things that might not get broken. Zero packaging inside of the box to hold the drive in place. Sure the box has its own packaging but still it is a very sensitive piece. Woupd not purchase this again as it could lead to early failure.
-
It Works
It’s a Western Digital hard drive. It works, and that’s it. Set it and forget it; there is no other option besides the purple one for surveillance systems.
