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 in a Hiseeu NVR.
Capacity: 3TB
My first HDD was a Seagate 1-TB that came with my Hiseeu NVR. The Seagate lasted just over 1-year and Hiseeu would not replace the HDD unless I gave them a 5-Star review which I was not going to do just to get a free Seagate 1-TB HDD. Plus I would never give a 5-Star review on a junk system that I was sold so instead, I bought this Western Digital 3TB not knowing if it would work but once I installed it, it did work right away without even formatting it. I still did format it eventhough it worked as soon as I plugged into my SATA/ power cables. This product does work. It is easy to install. It's easy to format and it was delivered the next day after ordered. I highly recommend this product for your surveillance camera system. It also has a lot more storage than the 1-TB that comes with the Hiseeu system. This HDD is quiet and I cannot here it at all. It has only been installed for about 48- hours so time will tell how long it will actually last but as of now I am very impressed overall. If something goes wrong with it over time I will update my review but for now 5-Stars. ... show more

  • The drive to get!
Capacity: 4TB
I have been using various WD drives for many years and their drives are always top quality! This purple drive is no exception. Used this drive in an eSATA enclosure to increase the recording capacity of our security system. Very happy with the purchase.

  • Lorex NVR - worked perfectly
Capacity: 8TB
When I bought my Lorex system from Lorex, i got their 8TB HD (Seagate). It was a bad drive and failed to be recognized by my system. Lorex customer service made me remove, reinstall, remove, reinstall even though I had already told them I am tech-savvy and the HDD was dead. I returned it for a refund. I bought this one and it was $100 cheaper and worked flawlessly and instantly. If you have a Lorex and want the max size HDD (8TB), I'd recommend this purple. ... show more

  • Two bad units. Buyer beware.
Capacity: 8TB
This is the second faulty bed (WD Purple HDD, 8tb) I have received. I've used Western Digital for years and never had this kind of experience. The first one appeared to be new in original Western Digital packaging. It failed to spin up and would not be.recognized by my system (Reolink RLN36 NVR). It was returned and I reordered the same part number again. For test purposes I repurposed a used Western Digital Black 1tb drive to verify that the system was not faulty. It performs as expected, so I know my system is not the problem. The second drive was not shipped in any kind of factory original packaging. A bubble wrap bag was the only protection, other than the anti static bag immediately around the drive. Upon power up this drive spins up and the heads repeatedly go through a cycle that is far louder than normal - the type of noise a drive makes when failure is imminent - and it never gets recognized by the system. As of this writing my return of the first drive has not been processed and now the second one does not work. I'm out almost $400 of my money and still can't use my system. I plant to buy from a distributor that will send me a properly packaged drive, handled in the correct way before it reaches me. Apparently Amazon and this vendor are not up to that task. ... show more

  • Bought for Surveillance Cameras
Capacity: 4TB
Put it in a Surveillance Amcrest DVR. My Swann failed. NO formatting needed. Device recognized it. I did nothing. I recommend it. Amazon shipped it in an envelope with no padding. Wasn’t happy about that. But it worked. I recommend it.

  • Great Hard-drive for the NVR
Capacity: 8TB
Works as Intended, and Works with the UniFi Dream Machine very well. The only issue with the product is that it was missing its mounting screws, making it inconvenient for set-up.
