This 3.5-inch SATA III HDD is part of Western Digital’s Purple Pro series, which is engineered to handle the rigorous demands of modern video surveillance environments.

The drive is capable of supporting up to 64 HD cameras, making it ideal for large-scale surveillance systems.

The WD Purple Pro is built with AllFrame AI technology, which improves ATA streaming to help reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.
