WD Purple

WD Purple hard drives. Made specifically for video surveillance in mind, the high capacity hard drives are designed for high-definition surveillance systems that utilise up to eight hard drives and up to 32 cameras. Western Digital’s drives are equipped with IntelliSeek technology that aid in keeping the unit’s power consumption to a minimum. IntelliSeek helps to calculate optimum seek speeds, lowering energy usage, noise and vibration. In addition to reducing wear and tire over time, this also enables the drives to remain operational on a 24/7 basis. WD Purple’s fireware upgrades are also equipped with AllFrame technology, which is computable with ATA streaming. This reduces the types of error pixilation and video interruption that is experienced when traditional hard disks are used with a security platform. www.wdc.com
