Frequently Asked Questions & Store Policies
Why should I choose WD Purple over a standard desktop hard drive for cameras?
Standard desktop drives are designed for 8x5 intermittent use and equal read/write balance. WD Purple is engineered for 24/7/365 continuous write-intensive recording in high-heat NVR/DVR enclosures, featuring AllFrame firmware to prevent dropped frames.
Can I use the WD Purple 4TB inside a normal desktop PC for file storage?
Yes! It operates on the standard SATA interface and works smoothly inside desktop PCs for secondary storage, archival, and video libraries.
How many days of recording will 4TB hold?
With 4 Full HD (1080p) cameras recording continuously at H.265 compression, 4TB typically stores approximately 30 to 45 days of surveillance footage.
Does it support NVR multi-bay enclosures?
Yes, WD Purple drives are designed with tarnish-resistant components and support multi-bay systems with up to 8 drives.

AllFrame is Western Digital's proprietary cache management firmware that optimizes ATA streaming to reduce frame pixilation and video interruptions.
