This drive is supposedly designed for Surveillance systems, to be installed in a Security Camera DVR. I notice when the drive's storage capacity reaches 65%, the DVR system's performance begins to go downhill. Doing simple task like going through the menu and properties of the DVR is sluggish.

3yr warranty - Great price for 2TB

- Performance begins to degrade when drive reaches 65% storage capacity; At 80% used storage capacity, the performance is very slow

This drive has run flawlessly for 2 years 24/7 recording 10 cameras. Runs nice and cool. It's not meant as a primary drive. It's specifically designed for surveillance and it excels at it.

Bought it on sale for my security server. Time will tell how it will work out. Never had problems with WD drives. This is the first one of these that I purchased.

Price; Quality; never had a problem with WD

none so far

No problem with installation... Pretty much just plug, format and play..

Easy to install, and working well. The previous HD that broke was the same make - which I didn't know at the time so fingers crossed this one lasts longer than a year. Good value for money.

Performed flawlessly from day one. It is nice to have the reliability of a drive designed for continuous re-writes backed by a solid warranty of 3 years.

WD Purple 2TB: (Review Includes Specification, About, Usage, Performance, Comparison, Speed Test & Result) MORE CAMERAS. MORE CLARITY. MORE SURVEILLANCE For Which The WD 2TB Purple Drive Have Made For The Purpose.

I am happy with this product

At the time of writing, the WD Purple 6TB Surveillance Hard Disk can be found at NewEgg for $256.99 , at Overclockers UK for £214.99 , or through Geizhals starting from €251.04 . One should never compromise when it comes to safety and surveillance falls within that category.

Overall great performance; Great price per GB of storage; WD AllFrame technology; Up to 8 drives; Uo to 32 HD cameras

Mechanical drive: higher noise and power consumption than solid state

Price was the best I could find and the unit was very securely packaged. This unit worked perfectly and was received quickly. This was my first purchase and all I can say is "Great job B&H, you have another loyal customer."
