Western Digital 2TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive HDD - SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5Inches - WD23PURZ
The WD surveillance hard drive is purposefully designed for mainstream surveillance systems, offering a specialized solution tailored to the unique demands of this field.
At its core, the WD AllFrame technology is a standout feature, providing crucial optimizations for scenarios commonly encountered in mainstream surveillance applications. These optimizations are specifically geared towards handling write-intensive workloads, managing low bit-rate data, and effortlessly managing high stream-count workloads. These are the typical challenges faced in surveillance, and the WD AllFrame technology ensures your system operates at peak efficiency, capturing and storing crucial footage without any hitches.
This hard drive is engineered to support an impressive workload rate of up to 180 TB per year. Workload rate, as defined, represents the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive annually. This metric showcases the drive's robustness and its ability to manage the continuous data flow inherent to surveillance operations. It's worth noting that workload rate can vary depending on your specific hardware and software components and configurations, but the WD surveillance hard drive is built to handle demanding scenarios.
For those with expansive surveillance needs, this hard drive offers support for up to 16 drive bays, making it highly versatile. Drives with capacities of 1TB through 2TB can accommodate up to eight bays, while those with capacities of 3TB and above can support up to 16 bays. This scalability ensures you can tailor your surveillance system to meet your precise requirements, whether it's a smaller setup or a large and complex one.
