I'm very happy with the 10TB Purple drive that I bought for my home PC-based home surveillance system. It's running fine so far with my initial three 4K cameras. I'm running Blue Iris on a Dell 7040 i5 SFF, storing only movement-triggered segments, so I should have plenty of storage for my planned 10 x 4K cameras.

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 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.

Bought this drive to replace an older 3TB drive for camera system. This 7200 rpm drive is quiet, and runs relatively cool inside an Orico aluminum drive enclosure. I have a USB powered fan blowing across the case that really helps, I'm sure. Overall very pleased with this new drive.

Purchased to use on a 11 camera Blue Iris system, all cameras recording full time. Initialized and moving large amounts of data to make sure all is OK before moving to the BI system. Performance is better than expected (hdparm of 250ish MB/sec. Quiet and runs pretty cool. I like it.
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.
I have 4 of these (so far) in my Hikivision NVR, and they work great for 24/7 use. Temperatures with proper airflow are where they need to be. Packaging from B&H arrived with proper care to keep the drives safe. Look no further if you need to fill your DVR/NVR.
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.
I needed a hard drive to replace my Tivo hd. I was looking for larger drive and a something reliable. I know WD are very good drives. Purple drive just what I needed the ability to record over and over. They have great warranty and support. Everything working great no problems.
The high-volume drive from Western Digital has a massive 512MB cache and 7,200 rpm. This is a rather loud disc, taking into account that at work 24/7 and when processing a large amount of information it will make a lot of noise. Therefore, not suitable for regular home builds.
Cloned a 2 Tb drive onto this 10 Tb drive using Acronis. Did a partition clone so that only the Data partition was extended into the extra space. The clone worked smoothly, although a change to the bcd file had to be made to allow the drive to boot into Windows 10. Installed all the games that had to be swapped in and out with the 2 Tb drive. They are now resident with room to spare. This drive is fast. So far there have been no issues. It's working as expected
