I have a lottttt of data so I got this. I did not realize the transfer rates on 3.5inch spinning drives have gone up. With a USB 3 adapter/reader dock this was transferring over 100mbps. It makes the spinning drive sounds that these make, but it is actually quit quiet. I use it exposed versus enclosed so it is a little more clicky sounding, but sound wise, if it were enclosed, it would probably be unnoticeable. Plus, it doesn't sound that bad - I actually miss the sound of data moving around haha. I would need it to be used for years to really write on reliability as I have neevr owned these, but looking at the specs, this appears to be a similar design, if not the same drive as their commercial grade drives for business. I always try to go for the best and I take ... MoreI have a lottttt of data so I got this. I did not realize the transfer rates on 3.5inch spinning drives have gone up.

I always try to go for the best and I take my data integrity very seriously which si why I chose this specific model. The specs that relate to reliability were the highest I could find at a reasonable price point so I am not disappointed. It actually stays quite cool as I transferred multiple terabytes worth of data at a time and it never really got hot, just warm - and this was in an open dock without a fan or active cooling. When I need to access data or write, it is very quick and never gives me trouble. I am pretty sure I will have this for years - especailly as I always get an overkill for my needs to ensure reliability and longevity.

Purchased for my security camera dvr. It works for it's intended application with no issues. Able to store a few months of HD recordings with room to spare.
The drives are great and quck shipping. I have about 10 dives of this type I use for cameras and backup system.
I purchased two 18Tb WD Purple Pro drives for a Ubiquiti NVR that I set up at a construction site. I have used these drives before with other UniFi NVRs and they work very well. I just added several additional 4K cameras so I am also adding two more drives to the system. We are using the drives for security and to document the build. I have had other WD Purple Pro drives in use for over a year on similar projects and they have been working well.
WD 10Tb HDD is a good economical solution for a recorder in a residential surveillance system.
Great HDD compatibility with Unifi UNVR. It is a go
My 1st time using Purple HDD. So far it's working great in my surveillance system.
Been running for 6 weeks no issues at all. I have 2 running in NVR & they run & playback great. I recommend.
