Unmatched Surveillance Storage

WD Purple drives are designed to meet the challenges of continuous surveillance recording. They are engineered specifically for surveillance applications, withstanding the wide range of temperatures and equipment vibrations in NVR environments.

WD Purple drives deliver surveillance-grade reliability that has been tested for compatibility with a wide range of security systems. Exclusive AllFrame technology helps reduce video dropouts and improves playback quality.
