WD Purple WD22PURZ 2TB 3.5" Surveillance HDD
WD Purple drives are engineered specifically for surveillance to help withstand the elevated heat fluctuations and equipment vibrations within NVR environments.

With WD Purple, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that's tested for compatibility in a wide range of security systems. Exclusive AllFrame technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.

This drive is great for my home surveillance system. Running 4 cameras on 1080p and its barely hitting 5% on disk activity. Highly recommended

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.

Great Drive, Great Price, Super Fast Shipping. Always count on WD in the Past and the Future. Thank You!!!
Very stable. Have been running 4 of these in RAID10 configuration since they were introduced. Added 2 more to the RAID. Great read/write performance.
I bought this drive to increase the capacity of my security DVR from 2TB to 12TB. I have had good experience in the past with various types of Western Digital drives -- no failures at all on drives I purchased new -- and the specifications are good. I was particularly attracted by the five-year warranty. It installs like any other drive, and I don't notice any excessive noise, though there are other noisemakers in the room so I don't have a very good read on this. I did a full surface scan, run by the DVR, which showed no bad sectors. It's a big drive, so it took 36 hours! Overall I am pleased with the drive.
I mounted the Purple drive in an existing NVR, connected the power and SATA cables, powered it on, it came up immediately as additional storage for the NVR. 8 gb gave us an additional 90 days of storage with 27 cameras.
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.
These drives are pretty good, no problems almost a year old now. Would purchase again.
Finally got around to replacing my satellite tv dvr's Seagate 500GB hard drive after so many freezes and lock ups. It was driving me nuts! Installed this Western Digital Purple drive 2TB and has been working great with no more freezing or lock ups! Plus the additional storage space means I can keep more recordings a lot longer. It does run a little warmer but does not affect it's already fast performance. The great price point and Western Digital's awesome reputation makes it a simple choice for this drive. I'm a very happy customer, thank you!
