WD Surveillance 2 TB Hard Disk

The WD Purple 2 TB Hard Disk, similar to the 1 TB version you explored earlier, is designed specifically for video surveillance systems.

Features

• Storage Capacity: 2 TB offers more storage space for video footage, allowing you to record for longer durations or accommodate more cameras compared to the 1 TB option.
• Performance: Optimized for write-intensive workloads, meaning it can handle frequent data writing involved in video recording better than standard desktop drives.
• All Frame Technology: Helps minimize frame loss and image errors, ensuring smoother video playback and recording.
• Enhanced Workload Rating (WWR) up to 180 TB/year: High WWR indicates its ability to handle the demanding workloads of video surveillance systems.
• Triple Stage Actuator (TSA): Improves positioning accuracy for read/write operations, potentially enhancing video recording stability.
• Low Power Consumption: 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: Typically uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface. Ensure your system supports this interface.
• Cost: Might be slightly more expensive compared to the 1 TB version due to increased storage capacity.
• Not for everyday use: While it can function for other purposes, it’s optimized for surveillance systems and might not be the most cost-effective choice for general data storage.
• Temperature: Maintain proper operating temperatures as specified by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and lifespan.
