WD Purple 8TB Surveillance HDD – Reliable Storage for Security Systems

The WD Purple 8TB HDD (WD85PURZ) is expertly engineered for modern security systems that demand constant, reliable recording. Built for 24/7 operation, this drive ensures seamless video capture from high-definition surveillance cameras, whether it’s for home monitoring, office security, or commercial surveillance infrastructure.

With support for multiple camera streams, high-speed data transfer, and optimized reliability, the WD85PURZ is an ideal solution for your digital video recorder (DVR), network video recorder (NVR), or hybrid surveillance system.

Optimized for Continuous Recording

Unlike standard desktop drives, the WD Purple WD85PURZ is purpose-built for surveillance environments. It features AllFrame™ technology, which improves ATA streaming and helps reduce frame loss, video interruptions, and pixelation — ensuring your footage remains clean and consistent.

This 8TB hard drive supports up to 64 HD cameras, allowing you to expand your security setup as your needs grow. Whether you’re managing a small retail store or a large multi-location facility, this drive keeps pace with your system’s demand.

Exceptional Performance with High-Speed Transfer

With a SATA 6Gb/s interface and a sustained data transfer rate of up to 215MB/s, the WD85PURZ ensures fast write speeds and reliable access to recorded footage. This makes it easy to review recordings, back up video archives, or export clips as needed — even while the system continues to record in real-time.

Additionally, its low power consumption and efficient thermal design allow it to operate reliably in dense, always-on environments without generating excessive heat.

Built to Last in Harsh Conditions

The WD Purple 8TB drive is rated for a workload of up to 180TB/year, making it a durable option for 24/7 surveillance systems. It’s tested for compatibility with a wide range of leading surveillance systems and enclosures, including QNAP, Synology, Dahua, and Hikvision.

The drive also features robust internal components that resist wear, ensuring long-term operation in systems that are subject to vibration and temperature fluctuations.
