## Overview

The Western Digital Purple 6TB Surveillance Hard Drive is a 3.5-inch SATA-600 mechanical HDD designed specifically for continuous 24/7 video surveillance. Featuring AllFrame technology to reduce frame loss and support for multi-bay NVR systems, it delivers reliable, high-capacity storage optimized for modern security setups. With a 5400 RPM speed and a workload rating up to 180TB/year, it’s built to handle demanding surveillance environments backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

## Description

WD Purple™ drives are engineered specifically for surveillance to help withstand the elevated heat fluctuations and equipment vibrations within NVR environments. An average desktop drive is built to run for only short intervals, not the harsh 24/7 always-on environment of a high-definition surveillance system. With WD Purple, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide range of security systems. Exclusive AllFrame™ technology helps reduce frame loss and improve overall video playback. WD Purple 8TB* and higher drives have additional performance headroom to support a new generation of AI-enabled NVRs, video analytics appliances, and deep-learning servers

Review: Good quality disk - Good quality durable and low noise drive.
Review: HDD failed in 8 days - I had bought this 4TB hard disk in Jun 2024. But installed it in my HIKVISION 16 channel DVR in Aug 2025. 10 cameras are connected to the DVR and all were on continuous recording mode. The hard disk worked fine for 8 days. But it stopped working all of a sudden the 9th day, saying Hard Disk exception. Formatted the hard disk several times, but looks like the HDD has failed and not recoverable. I'm feeling cheated. Such an expensive HDD worked only for 8 days.

## Features

- All WD Purple drives are equipped with AllFrame technology, which improves ATA streaming to help reduce frame loss, improve overall video playback, and increase the number of hard drive bays supported within an NVR

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can it replace older hhd in nightowl dvr**
A: Yes. This hard drive is compatible with all recording units.

**Q: What is the difference between 3tb purple wd30purz and wd30purz, very confusing?**
A: Absolutely nothing. They are the same.

**Q: Is this compatible with annke surveillance camera system 8ch 1080p lite h.264+ dvr with (8) hd 1080p outdoor weatherproof cameras cctv security camera**
A: As the owner of South Jersey Surveillance Systems, I can assure you that any WD purple or Seagate Skyhawk hard drive is the appropriate type of storage drive for any and all DVRs and NVRs.

**Q: Whats the difference between this and the red plus?**
A: WD Blue HDDs are mainly used for general purpose storage, they are great all-rounders, and an average user can’t go wrong with Blue.

WD Green is basically same as Blue, but it lacks a bit of performance. However, it is the most eco-friendly HDD, and it’s quite cheap.

WD Blacks are for pure performance including gaming, media, and content creation. Also one of the most expensive HDDs.

WD Red is a NAS drive. It’s optimized for NAS systems.

WD Purple is for surveillance. Advised for 24/7 operation.

WD Gold, probably the most premium of all. Made for a multitude of Datacenter-specific applications.
