West Digital 4TB Surveillance HDD - 5400 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5in - WD Purple40PURZ (Old Version) Review

I hope for the factory quality of this disc. And I wish the supplier to pay more careful attention when packaging this type of product. After opening the package, this was revealed. Until recently, they hoped that he was alive. But luck is not on our side. We will try to return the money, it cost us 10,055.

Three months ago I bought this hard drive for my home file storage. Despite the fact that the Purple series is positioned as carriers for video surveillance systems, they are quite suitable for home use. As I wrote above, before that I had the same 4 TB hard drive, but an older version, WD40PURX. It has been running for more than two years without shutting down; gave it to his father, and bought myself a newer version, without further ado when choosing. A proven model. I compared for the sake…

Quote from Habra: When choosing a drive, look at which segment the manufacturer positions it in. If you need a drive for a video surveillance system - choose purple, if you need a drive for a NAS - choose Red, if you need a drive for a home PC for home file storage - choose blue (the current blue series replaces green) Also, when choosing, keep in mind that some series, in addition to other settings for drive modes, are subject to other warranty obligations.

I really liked that in one review they wrote about video surveillance and recording errors, I think it's nonsense, a good gadget.

This hard drive uses an old technology that has a 64 MB cache, but just because of this, it outperforms the same models with a 256 MB cache

Took under the file storage in the computer. This is not the first disc of this series in my computer. I don't know what else to say yet, let's hope it lasts a long time

Has some pros Good trains, especially for the price for which they were bought (9000r). In general - train as train, top speed. Its cons: The price has soared, now you can’t buy such a volume at such prices.

Has some pros I do not have much experience, it has been working for more than three months without problems. Got cons: Of course, this is probably not a lack of goods, but of our country . but the price is simply too high🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm hoping that this disc still has the factory quality. In addition, I have the hope that the provider will give greater consideration to the packaging of this kind of goods. After unwrapping the package, it became clear that this was the case. They had not given up hope that he was still alive until quite recently. But luck is not on our side. We are going to make an effort to get the money back, which set us back 10,055 dollars.

aliexpress has very poor packaging - the disk came without a bubble wrap, in a large box (3-4 times larger than the disk) in an antistatic bag, so that the type of paper would not dangle crammed (slightly denser than regular A4), but still dangle. I’m generally shocked that it didn’t break during delivery, either VD began to make such shock-resistant discs, or the delivery service carried the box very carefully. In general, after the purchase, I turned on the test by Victoria, after 7 hours the

I use this HDD in conjunction with an SSD from the same manufacturer. Files fly from media to media quickly. No complaints. Let's see what time will show!

The disk turned out to be broken from the very beginning: wild vibrations, multiple bad blocks during testing. I did not have time to apply within 14 days and was addressed to the service center, where I received a refusal. amazon also refused, explaining that the equipment was in my use, and they cannot be held responsible for it . as a result, the money is lost, there are no guilty . amazon is closed to me forever.

Nowhere in the reviews is not indicated a very important point! The Purple series is optimized for video surveillance systems, everyone knows that. There is one caveat! The disk firmware implements error skipping during recording, since the continuity of recording when used in video surveillance systems is a priority over the integrity of files. That is, any random file can be recorded with an error, and this is not necessary for us, ordinary users. Therefore, for normal use, it is better to…

I took it to storage. I didn’t listen to all sorts of nonsense about the type “ed only for storage, sarvilens and skyhaw only for video surveillance, ironwulf for the server and barracuda for the computer”. It's all marketing "hat". Take reviews and CMS records and the number of hours between failures. Otsalnoe gel filling and all sorts of other bells and whistles there is all marketing to take more money from you. Disks work the first day, drove them to the raid stripe. In a year I will write…

In general, the story of the few, but it has a place to be! Bought about a year ago. It lay gathering dust, the check, accordingly, was not preserved, and since discs and other accessories were taken at one time at different points . in general, with a guarantee of shvank . 1st inclusion, norms, the system saw the disk and offered to drive it into GPT, refused. there was no time to wait, I decided to drive it the next day, and I also wanted to run it for any test for bads, so that it would…

The product has been working great for about 6 months and now it doesn't store any video at all on the hard drive for the security camera. Installation was quick and easy, but given that I spent $80 and it doesn't work, I get 1 star.

Bought for NVR use. Once this drive was in place, the NVR would not function properly due to the failed drive. However, I never suspected that I had bought a dead drive. My focus was on NVR and recorder configuration for 2 months. When I decided to pull out the hard drive, the return window was closed!

The product has not worked for me in less than 2 years and now it makes a rattling noise. It could be even less because I didn't know it was working until my neighbors house was broken into and I was asked to view footage from one of the cameras. What an extremely awkward moment to announce that my hard drive has failed. Now it's just the weight of the paper.

Foscam software relies on plugins to work in Safari or Firefox. None of these programs allow you to install these plugins. It worked great for a year or so and then I couldn't use it anymore. Foscam has also discontinued phone support. Save your money now, it's nothing more than an anchor for a very small boat. I plan to buy other devices, I have no choice.

The hard drive has failed as evidenced by a repeated error message received as abnormal after repeated attempts to install the hard drive. When the supplier was contacted I was immediately told that the return ticket was closed as it was past the 30 day deadline. Facts were not taken into account as I stated that I live outside the US and guaranteed that re-verifications had been carried out and that their product was sold defectively such that the product did not meet the claimed quality…
