Compared to standard WD Purple drives, this new addition to the family is specifically designed for large-scale networked video surveillance systems, which utilize a greater number of hard drive bays and interconnected cameras, thus placing a higher demand on storage capacity and drive durability. The increased capacity of these drives also allows for longer video recording periods for analysis and reference.
In addition, WD Purple NV drives are specifically designed to handle the activity levels of NVR digital recording. These drives offer low power consumption and numerous advanced performance features typically reserved for larger-scale end-to-end video surveillance storage environments.
WD Purple drives come equipped with several exclusive WD technologies, including:
- AllFrame™: AllFrame technology, combined with ATA streaming support, reduces frame loss, improves playback, and enables compatibility with systems that have a greater number of drive bays. WD Purple includes firmware updates that enable improved playback and reduce interruptions to the video surveillance system.
- Premium Protection: Designed with wear-resistant components, WD Purple NV offers high-quality protection in harsh environments where video surveillance systems may be installed.
- Support for high-camera systems: WD Purple NV hard drives have been optimized to support systems that use a large number of high-definition video surveillance cameras, offering flexibility to upgrade and expand the security system in the future. Furthermore, the increased storage capacity of these drives also allows for longer storage of video surveillance recordings, especially in situations where every second counts.[1]
