Description

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 WD AllFrame technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.

  • Works for Reolink NVR
Capacity: 8TB Style: Purple Pro
I have this 8TB hard drive in my Reolink RLN8-410 NVR. The actual storage is 7.4 TB when you put it in, which is par for the course. It stores about 15 days of 24/7 on 7 cameras.

  • Perfect for an NVR.
Capacity: 2TB Style: Purple
Great drive for little money. I use these only for video recording and the purple drives work great for that. They are stable and performant. The longevity is good as well.

  • Excellent replacement NVR drive
Capacity: 4TB Style: Purple
Bought this after the drive in my NVR died. Installed this and it has performed flawlessly in the couple months I've had it. FWIW, this make and model is widely regarded as the best for security camera recording as far as the research I've done online.

  • Bad drive -- never again!
Capacity: 4TB Style: Purple
ERRORS, ERRORS, ERRORS! This drive is unacceptable, and I would not recommend. It's a MECHANICAL drive (not SSD), which means it has a floating head that reads data on a platter (like a record player). Thus it needs to be PADDED and protected. Nope.... got it in a plastic bag after probably being tossed around in a mailtruck, which damaged the drive or crashed the drive heads. Unbelievable that there is no common sense or policy when it comes to these drives. And I notice mine is not the only review to report this. So why hasn't anything been done yet about it? I got the same drive 6 years ago and it certainly wasn't like this. It was perfect and is still going strong. But I guess times have changed. I would not recommend buying these at all... they just don't care anymore. ... show more

  • Well made
Capacity: 6TB Style: Purple
I installed this in my security camera NVR to replace the existing 2 terabyte disc. The software formatted it quickly and it immediately began recording. I’ve done a couple of playbacks with no issues. It’s now completely full and the overwrite process has not experienced any issues.

  • Noisy but reliable.
Capacity: 8TB Style: Purple Pro
Performs well but it is noiser than smaller capacity drives. Seems like all the bigger drives are like that. It's the loudest part of my NVR now.

  • Back in business
Capacity: 3TB Style: Purple
I was not able to playback on my home surcurity cameras. I purchased the disk, it has more storage, little to no noise and has been working properly.
