I purchased the Western Digital 6TB WD Purple Surveillance Hard Drive (WD64PURZ) for a security camera recording system, and it has performed exactly the way a surveillance drive should. WD Purple drives are designed specifically for DVR and NVR systems that run 24/7, and that’s the main reason I chose this model. Installation was simple and the drive was immediately recognized by the system with no issues. The 6TB capacity provides plenty of room for continuous recording and the drive runs quietly while handling multiple camera streams without any noticeable lag or dropped footage. One thing I appreciate about the WD Purple line is that it’s built for reliability under constant operation. Surveillance systems are always writing data, so having a drive designed for that workload makes a difference compared to standard desktop drives. The 256 MB cache helps keep performance smooth when multiple cameras are recording at the same time. It also feels like good value for the money considering the capacity and the fact that these drives are specifically engineered for security systems. While this particular model is the standard purple drive used in surveillance applications, Western Digital offers a variety of drives in different colors depending on the workload. For example, Blue drives are typically used for everyday computing, Black drives for performance workloads, Red drives for NAS systems, and Purple for surveillance systems. That color system actually makes it easier to choose the right drive for the job. Pros: - Designed specifically for 24/7 surveillance recording - Large 6TB capacity for long video retention - 256 MB cache helps handle multiple camera streams - Quiet and stable operation - Good value for the amount of storage - WD’s color lineup makes it easier to pick the right drive for the application Cons: - Not designed for typical desktop or gaming workloads Overall: If you’re setting up or expanding a DVR or NVR security system, the WD Purple series is a dependable choice. The drive is built for continuous recording, provides plenty of storage capacity, and offers solid reliability for surveillance applications.

I got a chance to install this into my rln8-410 today, format and fire up the nvr. Little did I know that I’m only at 5.508tb after formatting. The drive or whisper quiet kiddy like the stock Toshiba drive on it. It is much more responsive than the stock drive and maybe it’s because the drive is more optimized for nvr? As of now, I’ve got no complaints.

High definition easy to install. 8TB. I operate 7 cameras 24-7. I get about a month’s worth of recordings before it starts to record over.

WD has been in the drive business for ages. Drive is quiet, installs easily and works well in my NVR Edit: so after being installed for less than a month, drive starting to make some noise. An intermittent squeaking almost like a faint beep. To me sounds like something’s going on in the head as though it hit bad sectors on the drive platters. I turned off the recording feature on the NVR and the noise went away so now I know it’s not the machine itself….. bad sectors in less than a month and the drive was barely half written on…. I reformatted the drive and now it’s quiet again at the cost of losing all my data. Am I going to have to do this every month? ….. I chose this drive because of WD reputation in the HDD business, now that thought went down the drain….. Edit: after formatting the drive, noise went away for a few days, started to do the same thing again…. Returning this and ordering from different major manufacturer

It works. Nothing much more to say about it.

Le disque dur était défectueux. Il a fallu le renvoyer, 40€ de frais de livraison. Produit fabriqué en 2022. Un peu vieux à ce prix là!

J’ai acheté ce disque dur en 2000 25 octobre. Je l’ai installé sur mon enregistreur qui est tout neuf l’enregistreur ne reconnaît pas ce disque, j’ai fait intervenir un ami qui est Informaticien et qui fait des installations d’alarme, il a testé plusieurs disques dur et les siens fonctionnent Et celui que je vous ai acheté ne fonctionne pas. Que dois-je faire ?
