The Western Digital 10TB WD Purple Pro Surveillance drive is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their surveillance storage system. Built specifically for 24/7 operation, this drive offers reliable, high-capacity storage designed to handle multiple camera streams simultaneously, making it perfect for large-scale or demanding setups. One of the standout features is the AllFrame AI technology, which reduces frame loss and improves video playback quality, even in high-stress environments. It also supports AI workloads for those integrating advanced analytics into their security systems. The 10TB capacity is more than enough for long-term storage of high-definition video footage, which is ideal for businesses, commercial properties, or even home users with more comprehensive surveillance needs. The drive operates quietly and efficiently, with minimal heat output even during heavy use. The added benefit of being optimized for NVRs (Network Video Recorders) ensures seamless integration with most modern security setups. Additionally, the three-year limited warranty provides peace of mind that this drive is built to last. In summary, the WD Purple Pro 10TB is a solid, dependable investment for any surveillance system. Its robust design, massive storage capacity, and performance under continuous workloads make it an industry-leading solution. Highly recommended for anyone serious about security and data integrity.

Works well, but this is the loudest HD I've owned. I needed to move my surveillance computer into a spare room with the door closed. Read more

Ordered a Network Video Recorder without the HD because of the price the vendor wanted. I saved about $30 on this and got free shipping. It didn't have mounting screws but, I had plenty of extras. It was easy to mount to the bottom screw holes. You can capture a lot of video with 10TB of storage capacity. I like the SATA III speed. This drive is also designed with a 512MB cache which is nice. It has a spin rate of 7200RPM so this is a well designed drive. It is a good alue for the money and I will not hesitate to buy another one. Read more

These drives are not quiet. My old 4 TB Purple drive is silent. When I installed the new 12 TB Purple drive, as soon as I applied power, it started thumping. Once the NAS booted, the drive started reading and got very loud and kept thumping. Returned it for a replacement. The replacement does the same, but not quite as loud. Maybe it's the Pro version that's loud, but this one is being returned too. I'll try a non-Pro version or another brand. UPDATE: After some additional research, I found that the thumping noise is a "feature?" called PWL (Preventative Wear Leveling). It will thump every 5 seconds when the drive is idle. Apparently it's a feature/irritant in larger capacity drives. :( Read more
