WD Purple WD121PURZ 12 TB Hard Drive - 3.5" Internal - SATA (SATA/600) WD121PURZ

The right drive for the right job.
WD Purple™ drives have been engineered specifically for surveillance, so they're able to withstand the elevated heat fluctuations and equipment vibrations within NVR environments. An average desktop drive is built to run for only short intervals, not the harsh 24/7 always-on environment of a high-definition surveillance system. A disruption to a drive could result in a failure that impacts multiple users, your security archive, or even the entire system. With WD Purple™, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that's tested for compatibility in a wide-range of security systems.

Industry-leading storage. Surveillance you can trust.
Western Digital is a worldwide leader in the hard drive industry. With WD Purple™ surveillance storage, you have a drive engineered for high temperature, always-on surveillance systems so you can rely on quality video playback when you need it most. Whether you're protecting loved ones or monitoring your business, WD Purple™ offers performance you can trust.

Western Digital's exclusive AllFrame™ technology
All WD Purple™ drives are equipped with AllFrame™ technology, which improves ATA streaming to help reduce frame loss, improve overall video playback, and increase the number of hard drive bays supported within a NVR. Help make your surveillance solution future-ready knowing that WD Purple™ drives are ready for ultra high definition cameras. WD Purple capacities up to 8TB feature AllFrame 4K technology enabling high quality recording for up to 64 cameras. WD Purple 10TB and 12TB capacities feature AllFrame AI technology that enables not only recording up to 64 cameras, but also an additional 32 streams for Deep Learning analytics within the system.

WD Purple drives with AllFrame 4k technology feature a workload rating of up to 180TB/year - up to three times that of desktop drives - to handle the unique demands of modern video surveillance DVR and NVR systems. WD Purple 10TB and 12TB drives with AllFrame AI feature a workload rating up to 360TB/year to support the Deep Learning analytics that are features in AI capable NVRs.
