Overview
WD Purple™ drives are built for 24/7, always-on, high-definition security systems. WD Purple™ surveillance storage feature Western Digital’s exclusive AllFrame™ technology, so you can confidently create a security system tailored to the needs of your business. Using AllFrame™ technology, WD Purple™ drives improve video capturing and helps to reduce errors, pixelation, and video interruptions that could happen in a video recorder system. WD Purple drives have an enhanced workload rating** that supports systems designed for 24x7 video recording with up to 64 cameras.
**Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred ? (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.
The right drive for the right job.
WD Purple™ drives have been engineered specifically for surveillance, so they’re able to 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. A disruption to a drive could result in a failure that impacts multiple users, your security archive, or even the entire system. With WD Purple™, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide-range of security systems.
Industry-leading storage. Surveillance you can trust.
Western Digital is a worldwide leader in the hard drive industry. With WD Purple™ surveillance storage, you have a drive engineered for high temperature, always-on surveillance systems so you can rely on quality video playback when you need it most. Whether you’re protecting loved ones or monitoring your business, WD Purple™ offers performance you can trust.
Western Digital's exclusive AllFrame™ technology
All WD Purple™ drives are equipped with AllFrame™ technology, which improves ATA streaming to help reduce frame loss, improve overall video playback, and increase the number of hard drive bays supported within a NVR. Help make your surveillance solution future-ready knowing that WD Purple™ drives are ready for ultra high definition cameras. WD Purple capacities up to 6TB feature AllFrame 4K technology enabling high quality recording for up to 64 cameras. WD Purple 8TB, 10TB and 12TB capacities feature AllFrame AI technology that enables not only recording up to 64 cameras, but also supports an additional 32 streams for Deep Learning analytics within the system.
