Uncompromising Surveillance StorageWD Purple drives are designed to meet the challenges of 24x7 video surveillance recording.

With WD Purple drives, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage thats tested for compatibility in a wide range of security systems. Exclusive AllFrame technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.
