Last drive (WD 3T blue) was great, as (I hesitate to say incase they get complacent after their excellent work - was the previous WD 2T RED & WD 2 T Green). I use for reliable storage but this time I needed a drive for possible OS & storage (win 7, XP 64 Pro). Over the past 18 years various drives have dominated (in 2000 I would not best a WD drive). Now after years of use the Seagate Barracudas & definately Maxtores are mostly dead. The Hitachis are balanced between fine & quite problematic. The WD's I have bought in the last decade are still semless:Red: Perfect - used as storage for 8+years in an external enclosure (Probox - god i miss these indestructable esata boxes and the old prices)Blue: Perfect - used as a drop in for the Icy Box Dock.1 Year. Solid & no real speed difference over e-sata (love e-sata)Green: Perfect - as drop in again this is still solid, reliable and holds e-sata speed (not much in it but blue & red seem very marginally better)Purple: Great/Perfect - they really know what they are doing. I tried this for a change. Good E-sata speed, very Reliable as to date. Well built as norm, nice drive.At the moment I love n trust WD's work. Have not tried black but do not see the need with PC speeds non server. The rest are all excellent. Purple? I guess time ...several years will tell (or use in much security recording as designed...still awhile I would say). Green are fine, red n blue I feel more comfortable with, as too do I purple. A larger size may lead you to their proposed red or blue, and for a speed margin perhaps black (not needed for regular home PC). Nice to have options but better to have ones data still accessible. For now I don't look elsewhere, I just check price & needed size (I don't need NAS so only pure storage drives I get will be over 2T - this is the tec that does move on...& prices get better). Cheers WD... lifesaver.

Used in 24/7 cctv system, 3 full he cameras constantly recording to the drive with no issues. I have software limited it to only record upto 95% then record over and it's fine. Ideally you should raid them so if you do get a drive drop you won't loose footage but these drives seem very reliable. Also use reds for file storage and have 6 of them ranging upto 4 years old without issues. I replace drives every 5 years regardless but never had a wd drive fail on me

I've always liked Western Digital HDDs. I remember in 1995 I had a WD hard drive which went wrong in the first year I owned it, and they replaced it, with absolutely no messing around, with a newer, larger version (as my version was discontinued). Anyway..Bought a couple of these for my desktop computers and they do as they should... and they're purple which would be great if I could see them.

Designed for Surveillance DVR, works a treat. I have used WD drives for 20+ years and only ever had one go faulty and despite it being just out of warranty, WD replaced it but it is worth getting the extra years warranty for £19.99 if you didn't purchase it as part of the price :) If I wasn't confident with WD, I wouldn't be planning to purchase 4 x 4Tb WD Red NAS Drives via Amazon.

Best for cctv do your homework go to YouTube Google wd hard drive... what colours mean " Basically it's optomized for cctv worth getting as another's seem to pack up after a while.. If your buying a cctv system have a look at kare system! buy without hard drive which is Toshiba.. Buy wd purple.. All in £160 brilliant system

I only use Western Digital. Over the years i've had numerous other brands fail on me and have only ever had one failure with WD. I use these for personal files and as part of my trade as a CCTV engineer. Cannot fault these at all.

My Yale camera system had gone into a reboot loop and after disconnecting the old HDD it settled down.Found out the drive was a normal 1TB desktop drive so decided to upgrade with this surveillance always on one.Plug n play.

I bought this WD HDD to replace a dead Seagate 1TB HDD supplied in a HIKVISION NVR CCTV system on February 17.Performance of this WD PURPLE is far and away better. And is designed for surveillance applications.

Bought this replacement HDR for my cctv recommended this to anyone wanting a replacement HAS I run 4 cameras and this will give you much more recording time than a 500 HDR well happy with the item.

I am very positively supprised by speed of files finding. I needed a second drive as I have 120ssd for my system and my old 1gb was slow and full. It's actually fantastic!

Having replaced C: drive with an SSD was looking for a reliable high capacity data drive.Trouble free installation and silent operation as a single partition.

I always thought DVR recorders were noisey things until my old hdd failed. This new hdd is silent and works brilliantly....definitely a good upgrade.

Used to replace a faulty HDD in my CCTV system. Plugged in and started operating immediately with no set-up. Still going strong months later.

Does exactly what it was bought for. Quiet operation in a friends CCTV box where I ungraded the hard disk to higher capacity for him.
