The WD Purple drives are specifically designed for use in surveillance security systems, making them suitable for 24/7 operation. They are developed to replace standard desktop drives that are not suitable for demanding HD surveillance environments with high temperature fluctuations and device vibrations. The WD Purple drives are equipped with AllFrame technology, which reduces pixel errors and video interruptions caused by ATA streaming. These errors typically occur when regular desktop hard drives are used in security systems. Additionally, the caching algorithms are optimized for write-intensive and demanding low-bitrate streaming applications, which are typical for surveillance use. Thus, the WD Purple drives are ideal for HD surveillance systems in continuous operation, supporting up to eight hard drives and 64 cameras. Low power consumption is crucial in surveillance environments with high temperatures and constant operation. The WD Purple drives calculate optimal speeds for search operations, reducing power consumption, noise, and vibrations. By investing in top-quality surveillance drives, you gain enhanced security and enjoy the benefits over a longer period. WD Purple drives are designed to be compatible with the enclosures and chipsets of leading manufacturers, allowing for seamless integration into your existing video surveillance system.
