Western Digital Purple 4TB Surveillance 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s Hard Disk Drive with Allframe 4K Technology - 180TB/yr, 64MB Cache, 5400rpm - WD40PURZ

Good product

Western Digital, one of the most reliable HDD's I've come across. Thank you.

We purchased this hard drive to add another hard drive into our Dell PC. We record wildlife in our garden - 20 cameras recording 24/7 and were concerned our hard drive was getting a hammering! We ordered this drive, it arrived the next day as we are Prime Members, arrived in a plastic bag within the Amazon box. We followed a video on YouTube which advised how to install it and within a few minutes it was up and running. It’s now been installed for a month and we’ve not experienced any problems 🤞. It’s a great size at 4TB and is providing us with about 11 days of footage before it overwrites. When researching this hard drive, everyone on here said it needs to be installed on a CCTV system, but we can testify that you can install it on a PC to manage cameras that are constantly writing to a hard drive.

Item was easy to install and was working well, unfortunately it failed a few weeks in. I guess it’s just one of those things that sometimes happen.

I had this installed in a CCTV system for two Weeks before the drive started to make a high pitched squealing noise every ten Minutes. The packaging was very poor, just a box around the drive. How many drives are returned because of this? Got a return in the end after Amazon Customer Service Agent suggested replacing the SATA cable that I found amusing. Next I was told that I had to contact WD. I bought the Drive from Amazon and they are responsible for any Warranty at least for the first Year. Amazon Agent was polite but did not know the UK law for returning faulty goods. 1 Star for the faulty drive, poor packaging, getting the run-a-round from Amazon Staff and below. The Guy was in conversation with 3 Customers at the same tine so that I had to wait 5 Minutes for a reply. What should have taken a few Minutes took 20 Minutes.

Good product

Extremely quiet drive, and fast for searching. Well worth the money for a 4 camera surveillance in hd, with a low quality side stream as well, currently getting about 3 to nearly 4 weeks continuous 24/7 recording.

Drive is definately new, but manufactured in 2019.

Utilizo este tipo de discos duros par mi NAS, es de la seria de Surveillance de Western Digital WD, los cuales están diseñados para equipos de grabación de cámaras de seguridad. Esto significa que están hechos para trabajar las 24 horas del día, por lo tanto la vida útil de estos discos duros son mas larga que los otros normales. También hay la serie roja de WD que estan hechos especificamente para los NAS, pero estos de la serie lila son más baratos y hacen lo mismo que los rojos. La única pega que le doy es que podrían ser un poquito mas rápidos, 7200 rpm, pero supongo que después subiría mas el precio. También es ideal para montarlo en el pc como disco de respaldo, no para guardar los juegos, para eso utiliza un SSD por ejemplo. Compra estos y no tendrás que cambiar de disco duro frecuentemente, no te decepcionaran No te defrauran

Um mehr als in der Überschrift schreiben zu können, müßte ich wohl noch 5 Jahre warten. Bis jetzt jedenfalls alles gut
