## Overview

The Western Digital 6TB WD Purple HDD is a surveillance-optimized internal hard drive featuring SATA 6 Gb/s speed and a 256 MB cache. Designed for continuous 24/7 operation, it supports high workload rates up to 180 TB/year and is built to reduce video frame loss with AllFrame technology. Its robust design ensures compatibility with multi-camera systems up to 16 bays, making it the trusted choice for professional-grade security setups.

## Description

The Right Drive for the Right Job. WD Purple drives are engineered specifically for surveillance to help 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. With WD Purple, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide range of security systems, and some of our latest models (WD22PURZ, WD42PURZ, and WD63PURZ) have improved power efficiency. Exclusive AllFrame technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.

Review: Super Easy to Install & Works Like A Charm! - I needed to replace the 2 TB hard drive in my NightOwl 3 MP Surveillance Camera system, because the original hard drive quit recording after three years of service. I was on the fence about whether to invest my money into replacing the failed hard drive with this new Western Digital 4TB Purple hard drive, or spend a little bit more money, and replace the entire system. Since I’m not a Computer Tech by any means, the thought of ignoring the manufacturer’s warning labels against opening up the DVR case, and then then having to poke around with a screw driver, to uninstall the old, to replace with it with this new one made me nervous. I understand hard drives to be fragile, and the thought of handling these hard drives during the swap, was scary to me. I couldn’t afford to mess it up. Much to my surprise, it was an extremely simple task. I did watch a utube video on it beforehand, which did help me. It took more time to unscrew the DVR case, than than it did to swap out the parts. It’s just a matter of unplugging the old one, and plugging in this new one. Close the case back up, power on, and follow the on prompts in the screen. This 4Tb Western Digital Purple hard drive made especially for surveillance applications, installs itself from there. It was quick. It was easy, and it has performed. The best part is that it saved me money from having to purchase a whole new system. I’m very happy with my purchase. I believe it was money “well spent”, and I can highly recommend this Purple hard drive, with confidence. Thank you, Western Digital, for producing a quality product
Review: Great out of the box quality drive - Installation was easy and this worked flawlessly right out of the box. I know this won't last as long as a computer hard drive as this works 24/7 and 365 days a year, the original factory drive was a different brand (Sea something) and lasted about a year before having issues. I believe this is a good value for the money and formatting this was a breeze. The drive is western digital and I have always had good luck with WD drives as their drives have always been quality. The noise level did not seem excessive considering it is always writing data files.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: capacidad 1tb y estilo 4 tb, es un error?**
A: Como sabras,el HDD que compré,fue para ser instalado en un sistema de camaras o sea en un NVR para correr con 14 camaras IP,y se suponia que se pudiera hacer un FORMAT para ponerlo a trabajar,pero al ejecutar la operacion nunca la realizó. De modo que de ninguna manera se pudo hacer la operacion y hubo de abortarse su uso. Esta es la informacion del disco: Western Digital Disco duro interno de vigilancia púrpura de 4 TB - SATA 6 Gb/s .
La pregunta technica que me haces,creo que no viene al caso,pues el frabricante del disco dice en sus recomendaciones,que puede trabajar hasta con 64 camaras y yo solo uso 14 en el sistema que poseo.

**Q: What is the warranty for this had? I don't see it listed anywhere.**
A: Three-Year Limited Warranty
As an industry-leading hard drive manufacturer, Western Digital stands behind their surveillance storage solutions with a 3-year limited warranty6 included with every WD Purple drive.

**Q: Would this hard drive work with the night owl btd2 system?**
A: If its SATA format

**Q: Is this 4K?**
A: I believe it is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install with plenty of storage capacity for my Tigersecu system.
*by M***X on June 1, 2025*

Used/Using it in a Tigersecu Security System 16 Channel DVR. First time I've ever installed a hard Drive so I was initially a bit concerned but instructions were clear and it was actually pretty simple. It doesn't make any sound at all and working fine with no issues for 3 years now. I also like the amount of storage capacity.
