💾 3TB Surveillance Hard Drive - WD Purple, Intellipower 3.5", SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB Cache, 5400 RPM - FFP Option Review

I won’t say anything about the read / write speed, because I use it in a DVR. 5-8 cameras from 2 to 5 megapixels pulls smoothly, 3 TB is enough for about a month of archive with continuous recording. Pros: Quiet. It is in the NVR recorder and is almost inaudible (despite the fact that this drive is the only device with a motor in the room, everything else is fanless). With its cons: Came in a bag without packaging, at least they put it in a box, or something.

Essentially the same Red, only without head parking. It is likely because of this that he will theoretically be more alive than the neighboring Red series. I have another 3 TB Red (WD30EFRX) - it is not inferior or ahead in speed. Both of them are super hard. If we talk about home use (without delving into the purpose of the manufacturer, like the Purple series - discs for non-stop recording of video surveillance systems), then Purple is more suitable for those who download a lot from torrents…

Sent to replace the deceased a month later, the same but for 1tb. So this misunderstanding immediately began to click when turned on, i. E. Apparently, either they damaged it on the way, they were being transported by the most and sloppy courier service, or it was initially faulty. In short, don’t even think about taking it, throw away money, support will send you because of the situation in the country. Donate your blood.

Actually, it was foolish to expect anything from 3TB disks. But there wasn’t much money, and there was a lot to buy 4 TB. The controller glitched from overflowing with information about the killed sectors. Passed under the guarantee, after making sure in the smart that there were no blows. Expensive for 3TB. I will look for something else. Well, or buy 4TB. 3TB is a rejection of 4TB drives.
