Western Digital 8TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive HDD - SATA 6 Gb/s, 128 MB Cache, 3.5Inches - WD84PURZ
The WD surveillance hard drive is meticulously crafted to meet the precise needs of mainstream surveillance systems, providing a dedicated solution for these mission-critical applications.
At its core, the WD AllFrame technology is a standout feature, offering a suite of optimizations precisely tailored to the challenges typically encountered in mainstream surveillance setups. These optimizations are meticulously designed to handle write-intensive workloads, effectively manage low bit-rate data, and seamlessly cope with high stream-count workloads. These scenarios are commonplace in surveillance applications, and the WD AllFrame technology ensures that your surveillance system operates with precision, efficiently capturing and storing essential footage without any disruptions.
A notable feature of this hard drive is its impressive capacity to support a substantial workload rate, reaching up to 180 TB per year. Workload rate, as defined, represents the volume of user data transferred to or from the hard drive over the course of a year. This metric underscores the drive's robustness and its ability to manage the continuous data flow inherent to surveillance operations. It's important to note that workload rate can vary depending on your specific hardware and software components and configurations. Nevertheless, the WD surveillance hard drive is engineered to excel in demanding conditions.
For users with expansive surveillance requirements, this hard drive offers exceptional support for up to 16 drive bays. Drives with capacities ranging from 1TB through 2TB are optimally suited for up to eight bays, while those with capacities of 3TB and above can effectively support up to 16 bays. This scalability empowers you to tailor your surveillance system to precisely meet your needs, whether it's a compact setup or a comprehensive, multi-camera configuration.
