Features
The smart choice for surveillance
WD Purple Surveillance Storage offers exclusive AllFrame technology to bring you
premium reliability and peace-of-mind when installing your home or small to
medium business security system. WD Purples exclusive firmware upgrades work
with ATA streaming to reduce error pixilation and video interruptions that occur
when desktop hard drives are incorrectly used as storage in security systems. WD
Purple Surveillance Storage is built for 24/7, always-on, high-definition
surveillance security systems that use up to eight hard drives and up to 32
cameras.
Choose a drive that is designed and engineered for home and business
surveillance systems and enjoy the peace-of-mind you can only get from a
surveillance-class hard drive.
Desktop drives vs. surveillance-class storage
You wouldn?t use a bicycle to transport cargo across the country because it?s
not the right tool for the job. You also shouldn?t use a desktop hard drive in
your surveillance security system because it wasn?t designed for that
application.
WD Purple surveillance-class storage has been tested to be compatible in a
wide-range of security systems. These drives are designed to replace standard
desktop drives that were not designed for the harsh 24/7 always-on,
high-definition surveillance environment. Desktop drives are built to run for
only short intervals and are not engineered to withstand high-temperature
fluctuations and equipment vibrations found in a typical surveillance
application.
Surveillance storage for peace-of-mind
Whether you?re protecting your personal assets and loved ones or monitoring the
business you worked hard to build, you can rely on surveillance-class storage
built by one of the largest hard drive manufacturers in the world. WD Purple
Surveillance Storage is designed for high temperature, always-on, surveillance
security systems to ensure reliability and quality video play back when you need
it most. Experience the security of knowing you?re using a surveillance?class
drive designed by a leader in the hard drive industry.
Improve performance with AllFrame
WD Purple surveillance-class hard drives are equipped with AllFrame technology
which works with ATA streaming to reduce frame loss, improve playback and
increases the number of drive bays supported. AllFrame reduces video
interruptions that commonly occur when desktop hard drives are incorrectly used
as storage in security systems. Missed frames and lost footage is a serious
problem when an event occurs and surveillance footage needs to be retrieved. WD
Purple with AllFrame provides the confidence you should expect when it?s time to
play back and review critical surveillance footage.
Key benefits:
Reduces video frame loss with surveillance-class storage.
Specifically tuned for surveillance security systems.
Caching algorithms are tuned for write-intensive, low bit rate, high stream
count applications that are typical of surveillance applications.
Priority change for write allocations and preemptive caching policies.
TLER & ATA streaming support.
Supports up to eight drives.
Engineered for compatibility
WD Purple surveillance hard drives are built for compatibility with
industry-leading chassis and chip set manufacturers for seamless integration
into your new or existing video surveillance system. Check out our compatibility
selector to find out what surveillance drive is right for you.
Lower power consumption
Low power consumption is crucial in high-temperature always-on surveillance
environments. With exclusive IntelliSeek technology, WD Purple drives calculate
the optimum seek speeds which lowers power consumption, noise and vibration that
can damage and cause desktop drives to wear out more quickly. When you invest in
a premium surveillance-class drive you worry less while enjoying the benefits
over a longer period of time.
Optimized performance for up to 32 HD cameras
WD Purple hard drives are optimized to support up to 32 high-definition
surveillance cameras, giving you the flexibility to upgrade and expand your
security system in the future.
3-year limited warranty (worldwide)
Trust a company with the confidence to stand behind their surveillance storage
products with a 3-year limited warranty worldwide.
Recommended use
WD Purple storage is tested and recommended for use in surveillance and security
systems up to 8 bays and optimized for 32 HD cameras. For additional
surveillance capacity, look at WD datacenter hard drives. WD Purple is not
recommended for use in NAS environments, please consider using WD Red hard
drives for desktop RAID and NAS environments or WD datacenter hard drives for
rackmount or large RAID configurations.

manufacturer renowned for bringing high-end computing to the comfort of the

storage element in the NAS environment. He knows that a one-size-fits-all hard

Martin is a strong proponent of utilizing WD Red NAS storage as it is the only
NAS drive built specifically for home and SOHO users. For STEIGER?s
high-performance Home Theater PC builds, which incorporate media center, home
server, and high-end gaming device all in one platform, there is no better
storage solution. To learn more about Martin and STEIGER DYNAMICS? unique take
