WD Purple WD11PURZ 1TB Surveillance Hard Drive • SATA 6Gb/s • 64MB • 24/7 up to 180TB/year

Product "WD Purple WD11PURZ 1TB Surveillance Hard Drive • SATA 6Gb/s • 64MB • 24/7 up to 180TB/year"

WD Purple WD11PURZ is a 1 TB surveillance hard drive for recorders that run around the clock. WD Purple is Western Digital's surveillance-dedicated line — the same role as Seagate SkyHawk and Toshiba S300. An ordinary desktop drive is built for short bursts of work; surveillance writes to the drive continuously and wears it out fast.

Key Advantages and Features:

  • AllFrame technology: Western Digital's surveillance firmware reduces dropped frames when several cameras write at once.
  • 180 TB workload per year: Up to three times that of an ordinary desktop drive.
  • Up to 64 cameras: One drive handles the streams of a small or mid-sized system.
  • Up to 8 drive bays: The 1 and 2 TB models are rated for recorders with up to eight bays; for a larger array choose a 3 TB or bigger WD Purple.
  • CMR recording technology: Write speed does not collapse as the drive fills, unlike SMR.
  • Up to 1 million hours MTBF: The manufacturer's rated mean time between failures.
  • Quiet and frugal: 3.8 W while writing and 21 dBA at idle — quiet enough for a living room.
  • 3-year warranty: Western Digital manufacturer warranty.

1 TB is the smallest WD Purple capacity — it suits a one- or two-camera system, or a site that records only on motion. For continuous recording or more cameras, choose a larger drive. It fits recorders with up to eight bays; for a larger array, WD Purple's 3 TB and above also add rotational vibration sensors.

Manufacturer "Western Digital"

Western Digital is the other large drive maker; its surveillance line is WD Purple.

Purple drives are made for recorders: continuous writing, many cameras at once and years of uptime. The same logic as Seagate's SkyHawk.
