With WD Purple, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide range of security systems. Exclusive All Frame™ technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.


WD Purple surveillance storage is built to handle up to 64 cameras per drive and is designed for 24/7, always on, high-definition surveillance security systems with more than eight bays*.
