Desktop drives vs. surveillance-class storage

You wouldn’t use a bicycle to transport cargo across the country because its not the right tool for the job. You also shouldn’t use a desktop hard drive in your surveillance security system because it wast designed for that application. WD Purple surveillance-class storage has been tested to be compatible in a wide-range of security systems.

This WD Purple Surveillance Storage Hard Drive is designed to replace standard desktop drives that were not designed for the harsh 24/7 always-on, high-definition surveillance environment. Desktop drives are built to run for only short intervals and are not engineered to withstand high-temperature fluctuations and equipment vibrations found in a typical surveillance application.

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 Storage is 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.

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 confidence you should expect when its time to play back and review critical surveillance footage.

Designed for today’s and tomorrow’s surveillance solutions

WD Purple drives with AllFrame 4K technology feature a workload rating of up to 180TB/year – up to three times that of desktop drives – to handle the unique demands of modern video surveillance DVR and NVR systems. With an MTBF of up to 1.0 million hours, WD Purple drives are engineered for mainstream surveillance DVRs and NVRs that operate 24/7. WD Purple drives deliver reliable operation in large scale surveillance systems in harsh environments.

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 desktop drives to wear out more quickly. When you invest in a premium surveillance-class drive you worry less while enjoying the benefits over a longer period of time.
