## Overview

The Western Digital 3TB WD Purple HDD is a surveillance-optimized internal hard drive featuring a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, 256 MB cache, and 5400 RPM speed. Designed for continuous 24/7 operation, it supports up to 180 TB/year workload and up to 16-bay systems, making it ideal for professional-grade video surveillance setups requiring reliable, high-capacity storage with advanced frame-loss prevention technology.

## Description

WD Purple drives are designed to meet the challenges of 24x7 video surveillance recording. These drives are engineered specifically for surveillance to help withstand the elevated heat fluctuations and equipment vibrations within NVR environments. An average desktop drive is built to run for only short intervals, not the harsh 24/7 always-on environment of a high-definition surveillance system. With WD Purple drives, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide range of security systems. Exclusive WD AllFrame technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback.

Review: Works in a Hiseeu NVR. - My first HDD was a Seagate 1-TB that came with my Hiseeu NVR. The Seagate lasted just over 1-year and Hiseeu would not replace the HDD unless I gave them a 5-Star review which I was not going to do just to get a free Seagate 1-TB HDD. Plus I would never give a 5-Star review on a junk system that I was sold so instead, I bought this Western Digital 3TB not knowing if it would work but once I installed it, it did work right away without even formatting it. I still did format it eventhough it worked as soon as I plugged into my SATA/ power cables. This product does work. It is easy to install. It's easy to format and it was delivered the next day after ordered. I highly recommend this product for your surveillance camera system. It also has a lot more storage than the 1-TB that comes with the Hiseeu system. This HDD is quiet and I cannot here it at all. It has only been installed for about 48- hours so time will tell how long it will actually last but as of now I am very impressed overall. If something goes wrong with it over time I will update my review but for now 5-Stars.
Review: Reliable in NVR - I had the 2GB version continuously recording for 7 years with zero issues. Just got the 3GB now and tested OK, brand new (mfg. Sep. 2025).
