WD Surveillance 1 TB Hard Disk

The WD Surveillance 1 TB Hard Disk, also known as the WD Purple, is a storage device specifically designed for video surveillance systems.

Features

• Capacity: 1 TB storage capacity, suitable for storing a good amount of video footage depending on camera resolution and recording settings.
• Performance: Optimized for write-intensive workloads, meaning it can handle the frequent data writing involved in video recording better than standard desktop hard drives.
• AllFrame technology: This WD-exclusive technology helps improve video recording and playback by minimizing frame loss and image errors.
• Enhanced Workload Rating (WWR) up to 180 TB/year: This indicates the drive’s ability to handle the workload of a typical video surveillance system, which involves frequent writes and data transfers. Standard desktop drives typically have lower WWR ratings.
• Triple Stage Actuator (TSA): This technology helps improve positioning accuracy for read/write operations, potentially enhancing video recording stability.
• Low power consumption: Similar to the Seagate option, it’s designed for continuous operation with lower power draw compared to standard desktop drives.
• Durability: Built for 24/7 operation, making it suitable for continuous recording in surveillance systems.

• Interface: The WD Purple typically uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface for connection to compatible systems. Ensure your system supports this interface.
• Not for everyday use: While it can function for other purposes, this drive is optimized for surveillance systems and might not be the most cost-effective choice for general data storage due to its specialized features.
• Temperature: Maintain proper operating temperatures as specified by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and lifespan.
