WD Purple WD43PURZ 4TB Surveillance Hard Drive

The WD Purple WD43PURZ is a purpose-built 4TB surveillance hard drive engineered specifically for security camera systems and video recording applications. This 3.5-inch internal drive delivers reliable performance for DVR and NVR installations requiring continuous operation and high stream counts.

Surveillance-Optimized Performance

Built for write-intensive surveillance environments, this drive supports up to 180TB per year workload rate, handling the constant data streaming from multiple security cameras. The 256MB cache buffer ensures smooth video recording across high stream-count applications, while the 5400RPM rotational speed balances performance with power efficiency for 24/7 operation.

The drive features prioritized write-operations tuned specifically for the low bit-rate, high stream-count patterns typical in surveillance applications. TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) and ATA streaming support prevent video frame drops during recording, maintaining continuous surveillance coverage.

Multi-Bay System Support

The WD Purple WD43PURZ supports more than eight drive bays, making it suitable for enterprise-level surveillance installations. Tarnish-resistant components enhance reliability in varied environmental conditions, extending operational lifespan in demanding security system deployments.
