.On first looking at these drives from the outside, there isn't a lot to look at with the drive. It's a 3.5-inch form factor SATA drive that isn't much different physically from the WD Green or WD Red products. The WD Purple hard drives offer low power consumption and advanced performance features usually only reserved for enterprise-level storage and are optimized to withstand the demands of always-on digital PVR, DVR and NVR recording environments. With ATA streaming support, WD's `AllFrame' technology helps to reduce video footage loss and to help improve data flow and playback. The only only other HD maker tailoring a drive for this market is Seagate,but their product is yet to be launched - at the time of writing this review.Another built-in feature that helps guide installers on which Western Digital HDD model works best with a given system. As an example if choose 4TB drive and offers up to 32TB of capacity when configured with the maximum drive count of eight. In RAID 5, that would drop to 28TB of redundant storage. According to Western Digital's Capacity Selector tool, that is enough for 16 cameras recording at 1080p with 12 frames per second and storing a months worth footage.However it is important to note, in larger systems with eight or more drives, Western Digital recommends either a Se or Re product taken from the enterprise product line up. The new Purple, like the Red model for NAS products, is a lower price unit designed for smaller systems that do not require the full array of enterprise features. So for small DVR builders this is probably the way to go, as it takes the guess work out of which hard drivers to select.Key benefits:1. Reduces video frame loss with surveillance-class storage.2. Specifically tuned for surveillance security systems.3. Caching algorithms are tuned for write-intensive, low bit rate, high stream count applications that are typical of surveillance applications.4. Priority change for write allocations and pre-emptive caching policies.5. TLER & ATA streaming support.6. Supports up to eight drives.Lastly best to shop around as the price for this hard drive can vary..

I bought this to replace a 1TB Seagate Surveillance HDD which came with my CCTV system that was sticking and causing my DVR to freeze or reboot! ...never had any luck with Seagate Drives ever since I built my first PC - I've found the Infant mortality rate to be too high as they concentrate on speed, not quality - maybe I'll put it in a caddy, hook it up to the router and use it as a NAS. This 3TB has maxed out the capability of the system, and it's quieter than the drive it replaces and uses less power, so it runs cooler. It'll record from 3 cameras @1080P for at least a month before it begins overwriting. I'm now tempted to install a 4th camera I kept as spare. Expensive,but hopefully the reliability will make up for the price.

Quiet and hopefully reliable HD. From past experience dealing with WD has always been a pleasure. Hopefully their Purple range of drives will prove equally as reliable as others I own. As noted at least with WD I draw comfort from their great after sales support and returns.

Well, it's still working, relatively quiet and in constant use. Have 5 x AHD cameras connected on A CCTV system and this drive performing great Cooling fan on the system is working hard but I suspect the chipset is causing the heat more than the drive.

I bought these to go in a HikVision NVR alongside some external cctv cameras, they've been running non stop for several months now without fault and have not reason to doubt them given the reviews online. A great choice for that sort of media...

Purchased for a CCTV system, installed without any issues and has been working tirelessly ever since. Runs quietly and haven't had any issues at all, was a decent price and easily recommended for any surveillance system.

I have had this running in my recorder for my cameras for the last 2 months with 4 cameras running it last about 3 weeks on record 24/7 then it records over the day one recordings and so on. recommended.
