Overview

Purple, the colour of video surveillance

WD Purple video surveillance hard drives offer exclusive AllFrame technology to give you the best possible reliability and peace of mind when installing your home or small business security system. The development of proprietary WD Purple firmware features that use SATA reduces pixel errors and image loss.

This happens when using PC drives in dedicated CCTV system storage. WD Purple is designed for 24/7 high-definition video surveillance and security systems with up to eight hard drives and 32 cameras. Choose a hard drive designed and engineered for small business and home surveillance systems, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a hard drive produced specifically for surveillance.

The advantage of a hard drive designed for video surveillance

You wouldn't ride a bicycle across the Atlantic because you know it's not a tool designed for this type of task. Similarly, you wouldn't use a desktop hard drive in your security and surveillance system because it wasn't designed for this application.

WD Purple surveillance storage has been designed to replace standard desktop hard drives that are not optimized for the demanding environments of high definition surveillance. Desktop HDDs are designed to operate only over limited intervals and not to withstand the high temperatures and severe vibration that most surveillance applications require.


Video surveillance storage for peace of mind

Whether you're protecting your personal assets and loved ones or the business you've worked so hard to build, you can count on surveillance storage from one of the world's leading hard drive manufacturers.

WD Purple Video Surveillance Hard Drive is designed to ensure reliability and quality video playback for continuous, high-temperature security systems. Discover peace of mind with a hard drive designed for video surveillance by a leader in the hard drive industry.


Designed for compatibility and performance

WD Purple video surveillance hard drives are designed to be compatible with all major chassis and chipset manufacturers for effortless integration into your existing or new video surveillance system. Use our compatibility selector to find the video surveillance hard drive that's right for you.

WD Purple hard drives are optimized to support up to 32 high-definition video surveillance cameras, giving you the flexibility to upgrade and expand your security system in the future.


Enhance performance with AllFrame

WD Purple video surveillance hard drives feature AllFrame technology that works with ATA streaming to minimize image loss and increase the number of supported drive bays. AllFrame minimises video interruptions that can occur when desktop hard drives are used inappropriately as security system storage.

Frame and image loss is a recurring problem, which can be serious if an event occurs that needs to be recorded in full. WD Purple with AllFrame provides you with the confidence you need for the recovery and playback of critical CCTV images.

  • Priority change for write allocation and preventive caching strategies

    Not as reliable as advertised

    Just broke down after 2 and a half years of non-stop use (video surveillance in a Synology NAS). The reliability claimed by the manufacturer does not seem to be there!
    I've been using it for a while now and I'm not sure if it's working properly...

    Very satisfied with the WD Purple Video Surveillance 6Tb SATA 6Gb/s

    The shipment was well done and well packed not like other competitors!!!
    The HD WD Purple Videosurveillance 6Tb SATA 6Gb/s works perfectly on a SYNOLOGY bought also at LDLC ;=)
    Keep it up at LDLC.
