Western Digital WD Purple 2TB hard drive WD20PURZ Review

I’m already buying a second one, the first one is in the registrar on CCTV cameras in my home, the second one is in the Dune HD Blu-ray player

Thanks to the mirror pool ZFS - photos and docks are not lost. In general, I strongly advise against using it without mirroring.

Old WD 1TB hard drive filled to capacity (7 years). I took this one, the difference is absolutely silent, there is no crunch like on the old one and it heats up less. I checked in Victoria that the new one is old without errors and problems, there are not even orange sectors. WD makes the best and most reliable drives.

For video surveillance, hitachi worked for a year before it, apparently the budget one was preinstalled. Let's see how long this one lasts.

This model is recommended for use in video surveillance systems, as it is designed to work 24/7. I have been using it since February 2022 in video surveillance with 8 cameras, everything is fine, the price is lower than that of competitors from the corresponding category!

Bought 4 years ago 2 wd20purx discs. Work in RAID0 without problems in 24/7 mode. Used to store an archive of personal media files. The question arose about expanding, and then bad ratings were set.

I bought it on . market, but did not take into account that they have a return period for a defective product of only 7 days, then deal with the manufacturer yourself. I had to spend 600 on sending by mail from St. Petersburg to Hong Kong - there is their technical service. Moral: check everything at once :( I will leave the overall rating 4 because of the troubles with the first disc. Satisfied with the disk that was sent for replacement.

Disc is about 3 years old. And now the end has come. The computer began to glitch, hang. I didn’t even think about the disk, because. for 3 years, the operating time is only 3042 hours, i. E. 293 days of continuous work. I think that this is very little. Before him, the deceased Samsung EVO SSD with an operating time of about 33,000 hours! There are also 2 old laptop disks, they are about 12 years old, they work properly. So this WD is also Purple, i. E. Seems like it's meant to last a long…

Some pros: Buying a second HDD. Everything suits, does not break, there are no errors. One is installed in the PC, the second in the NVR. Some cons: Not to the product itself, but to the packaging. HDD in this form is not transported.

Not much disappointed with tough. I use on PC. It is worth filling it with 55-65% percent and that's it - the brakes are such that they're just kick-ass! The write speed drops to 0 and in this state it will lie until the process is removed. Torrent loads the disk at 100% at once, games load the disk at 100%, any resource tasks - and that's it, it will go into a stupor! That is, in fact, if you use 1.2 - 1.3 TB, then everything is OK, but if you score more than this, then it is simply impossible

I connected the drive on wires, without installing it in the case, in order to check the vibration and temperature. I started the PC, took the disk in my hand, at first I thought that it simply did not start, since I could not feel the vibrations with my hands at all. Then, after booting the OS, I realized that the disk was working. With the help of Victoria, I ran Verify, Read and Write, attached screenshots. No slow (orange) sectors were found. Before that, for comparison, I connected 2 HGST…

I managed to buy ten percent cheaper than the typical price, for that kind of money it’s absolutely gorgeous. I don’t chase speeds, because this increase is not so critical, but no one has taken off from 5-6 disks over the past 10 years. Only on the old green (which has worked for 10 years!) A couple of displaced sectors appeared, they were taken out of the home machine and put to work for file cleaning.

With its pros: I bought a hard drive for a video surveillance system. The choice was made on the basis of the advice of operators and installers of video surveillance systems. Inserted into the NVR, formatted and immediately launched. Everything works great. I recommend to buy. Got cons: Before ordering on amazon, there was an offer in the header in the form of a 500 bonus for the first order through amazon. When paying, I only had a bonus from "I take" for 400 when buying from 3000, it seems.
