WD Purple 8TB Hard Drive for Monitoring

WD Purple drives are designed for HD surveillance systems and 24/7 operation. Capable of handling workloads of up to 360 TB per year and supporting up to 64 HD cameras, WD Purple drives are optimized for use in video surveillance systems . Storage for surveillance, WD Purple, comes with WD's exclusive WD- AllFrame technology. You can now successfully create a security system tailored to the needs of your specific business.

Ideal drives for surveillance:

WD Purple surveillance-grade hard drives offer unique AllFrame technology, which provides superior reliability and complete security when you install a surveillance system at home or in a small or medium-sized business. Included in WD Purple drives, special firmware supports ATA streaming, which reduces unwanted pixelization and "dropped" video frames, typical of surveillance systems equipped with standard drives not suited for such tasks. WD Purple surveillance drives are built to reliably record HD video in 24x7 continuous mode, in surveillance systems containing up to eight hard drives and up to 64 video cameras.Choose a drive designed and built specifically for home and business video surveillance systems. You'll get the sense of security that only a surveillance-grade hard drive can provide.




Deskop-class drives vs. surveillance drives:

If you want to transport a heavy load to the other end of the country, you will not use a bicycle for this purpose, because it is not a suitable tool. By the same token, desktop-class hard drives should not be used in surveillance systems, as these drives were not designed for such applications. WD Purple surveillance-class drives have successfully passed compatibility tests with a wide variety of security systems. These drives replace standard desktop-class drives, which are not designed for 24x7 continuous operation in environments requiring high-definition video recording. Desktop-class drives are designed for environments where disk loads are short-lived. They are also not designed for the wide fluctuations in ambient temperature and vibration typically found in surveillance systems. Rated to handle workloads of 1 to 180 TB per year - three times that of standard desktop drives - WD Purple drives are specially designed to meet the specific requirements for modern DVR and NVR video surveillance systems.

Surveillance drives that give you peace of mind:

Whether you want to protect the health and lives of loved ones, private property or your business assets, you can rely on surveillance-class drives designed by the world's largest hard drive manufacturer. WD Purple surveillance-class hard drives are designed for continuous operation in surveillance systems characterized by elevated ambient temperatures. These drives are reliable and provide excellent video quality when you need them most. Ensure a sense of security. Choose surveillance-grade hard drives designed by the world's leading hard drive manufacturer.

Basic advantages of the drive:

• Surveillance-grade storage reduces video frame loss
• Design specifically engineered for video surveillance systems
• Caching algorithms tailored to the requirements of surveillance environments characterized by high intensity of recording operations, low data transfer rate (bit rate) and a large number of simultaneous streams
• Re-prioritization of recording allocation and preemptive buffering algorithms
• TLER and ATA streaming support
• Support for up to eight drives

High level of compatibility:

• WD Purple surveillance-grade hard drives are compatible with industry-leading chassis and processors and provide easy integration into new and existing video surveillance systems.
• Optimized performance to work with a large number of cameras ( up to 64 HD video cameras): WD Purple hard drives are optimized to support up to 64 HD (high-definition) video cameras. This makes it easy to upgrade and expand your security system in the future.

Reduced power consumption:

Low power consumption is crucial in surveillance systems that require continuous operation of equipment and are characterized by elevated temperatures. Thanks to WD Purple's unique IntelliSeek technology, WD Purple drives calculate the optimal path-finding speed. This reduces power consumption, noise emissions and vibration levels that can cause damage and lead to accelerated wear of standard desktop-class hard drives. Investing in specialized surveillance hard drives gives you peace of mind and ensures long-term enjoyment of all their benefits.
