The WD surveillance hard drive is meticulously engineered to meet the specific demands of mainstream surveillance systems, offering a tailored solution for these critical applications.
Central to its performance is the WD AllFrame technology, which brings a suite of optimizations perfectly suited for the challenges typically encountered in mainstream surveillance setups. These optimizations are finely tuned to address write-intensive workloads, efficiently handle low bit-rate data, and effortlessly manage high stream-count workloads. These scenarios are commonplace in surveillance, and the WD AllFrame technology ensures that your surveillance system operates with precision, capturing and storing vital footage without a hitch.
This hard drive is purpose-built to support a substantial workload rate of up to 180 TB per year. Workload rate, as defined, represents the volume of user data transferred to or from the hard drive annually. This metric showcases the drive's robustness and its capacity to handle the constant 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. Still, rest assured, the WD surveillance hard drive is designed to excel in demanding conditions.
For users with extensive surveillance needs, this hard drive offers remarkable support for up to 16 drive bays. Drives with capacities of 1TB through 2TB can effortlessly accommodate up to eight bays, while those with capacities of 3TB and above can capably support up to 16 bays. This scalability ensures that you can tailor your surveillance system to precisely meet your requirements, whether it's a compact setup or an expansive, multi-camera configuration.
