Surveillance storage drive

The WD Purple WD60PURZ is a 6TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for continuous video recording. It spins at 5700 RPM with a 64MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The drive is engineered for write-intensive, low bit-rate surveillance workloads.

Suits multi-bay NVR systems; not for OS boot

This drive supports up to 64 cameras and workloads of 180 TB per year, making it a fit for network video recorders with more than eight bays. AllFrame technology and prioritised write operations help reduce frame loss. Builders needing a fast operating-system drive or a general-purpose desktop disk should look elsewhere.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the SATA 6.0Gb/s connection. Your recorder or controller must provide a standard SATA data and power port. If the system requires a different interface, this drive will not install.

Questions about this item

Will the WD60PURZ 6 TB 3.5-inch SATA drive work in my existing DVR that uses older SATA 3 Gb/s ports?

The drive uses a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface which is backward compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s ports, so it will operate in your DVR at the slower link speed.

How can I verify the WD60PURZ is healthy after installing it in my NVR?

Check the drive’s SMART attributes through the NVR interface; look for zero reallocated sectors and a power-on hours count that increases normally during recording.

What comes in the box with the WD60PURZ and what must I supply?

The bare 6 TB 3.5-inch drive is included; you must provide a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from your PSU, and mounting screws for your chassis.
