Product description

Capacity:4TB | Colour:Purple

The right drive for the right job - WD Purple drives have been engineered specifically for surveillance, so they're able to 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. A disruption to a drive could result in a failure that impacts multiple users, your security archive, or even the entire system. With WD Purple, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that's tested for compatibility in a wide-range of security systems.

Good product, good price, good service.

Reviewed in Australia on 7 November 2019

Capacity: 2TBColour: PurpleVerified Purchase

Best surveillance HDD out there. There are plenty of sites which calculate HDD needs from number of cameras, resolution, frame rate etc - use one of them. Even a 2Tb drive will fill up in a few days then be overwritten, get a good one, get a big one, don't cheap out.

Vibration issue

Reviewed in Australia on 26 January 2021

Capacity: 4TBColour: PurpleVerified Purchase

It has more vibration compared to other hard disks. I can feel the vibration with PC case.
It might be a bad sample among the entire products, anyway, that is my experience.
The hard disk is not used any more.

NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE AND AMAZON DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO RETURN WHEN FAULTY.

Capacity: 2TBColour: PurpleVerified Purchase

I purchased this device on 13.07.2018 for use in an NVR (its stated use). It has worked for less than 7 weeks and has now failed. There is no method to contact the seller (Amazon) about this failure. Amazon please advise how this faulty and/or not fit for purpose product can be returned.

梱包が最低です

Reviewed in Japan on 13 December 2018

Capacity: 2TBColour: PurpleVerified Purchase

梱包が酷い。到着した箱の中でガサガサするので開けてビックリ。固定はされてない。写真の通り緩衝材も意味はない。箱の外には精密機器である旨の記載はないから、扱いがどうされてきたのか非常に不安だった。
アマゾンで今まで10個くらいHDDを購入しているが、初めての事で困惑している。
とりあえず、フォーマットもでき動作しているが、1週間様子見してHDDのデータをチェックして判断する予定。
みなさんの購入されたものでこのようなことが無いように願いたいものです。

Perfecto para uso 24/7, mal embalaje

Reviewed in Spain on 18 February 2019

Capacity: 6TBColour: PurpleVerified Purchase

Este disco no es mas que un disco como cualquier otro, pero lo preferí frente a otras marcas algo mas baratas porque estos suelen tener mas fallos y por la poca diferencia de precio no merece la pena arriesgarse. Y esto no lo digo yo, podéis buscar las estadísticas de un centro de datos con miles de discos y los de marca mas barata siempre suelen fallar mas que el resto, sin entrar en modelos concretos.

Compré el de 6TBs porque el precio por TB era el mismo que en el modelo de 4TBs y la capacidad es algo que siempre se queda corta, aunque ahora pensemos que nunca llenaremos 6TBs, en un par de años estarán llenos, pues cada vez hay mas dispositivos que graban en 4K, luego será 8K, cámaras con mas y mas megapixels...

Western Digital clasifica sus discos por colores, siendo cada color un disco pensado para cierto tipo de uso:
- WD Green: son los que consumen menos, hacen menos ruido y generan menos calor, pensados para HTPC y equipos multimedia de salón.
- WD Black: máximo rendimiento; 7.200 RPMs, mas cache, mas garantía... y mas caros, claro.
- WD Red: pensados para NAS y grandes sistemas de almacenamiento de datos, para uso continuado. Mejor rendimiento en lectura que en escritura.
- WD Purple: Pensados para equipos de video-vigilancia y grabación de video, equipos que están encendidos 24/7; rendimiento medio y mayor rendimiento de escritura que de lectura.
- WD Blue: son discos todo-terreno, para todo tipo de usos no específicos, su rendimiento varia en función de las RPMs que use (desde 5.400 hasta 7.200).
- WD Gold: pensados para servidores en centros de datos, muy caros.

En mi caso, compré un Purple porque su uso va a ser almacenamiento de datos y copias de seguridad en un servidor casero que está casi siempre encendido, así que es perfecto para este uso.

Lo que no me ha gustado mucho es el envoltorio que se ha usado para su envío: el disco venía envuelto en una capa de plástico de burbujas y metido en una bolsa de plástico, enviado así tal cual. Espero que el disco no tenga fallos en el futuro a causa de esto.

Bon disque mais SAV minable.

Reviewed in France on 12 March 2020

Capacity: 4TBColour: PurpleVerified Purchase

Disque arrivé à temps et bien emballé. Mais il n'a jamais fonctionné. Donc j'ai téléchargé un logiciel du SAV (il fallait s'accrocher pour le trouver sur leur site). Le logiciel indique que le disque n'est pas initialisé par l'usine WD. Une faute de construction, ça peut arriver. Je suis à la première semaine de la garantie donc je contacte le SAV.

De nouveau il faut s'accrocher pour trouver et remplir un formulaire en ligne. Quand ça ne fonctionne toujours pas après une douzaine d'essais je trouve enfin une personne humaine au bout du fil. Une femme compétente mais plutôt désagréable. Elle confirme que mon disque est bien en panne et doit être remplacé. Elle m'explique que je dois vider le cache de firefox. (A part le SAV je n'avais jamais été sur le site, mais bon.) Ça marche.

Je demande un remplacement anticipé pour lequel on me demande ma carte bleu car visiblement ils ne me font pas confiance. Il ils vont me faire payer le remplacement si mon disque en panne n'arrive pas chez eux. Tandis que leur propre personnel avait confirmé que LEUR disque NEUF avait une faute de construction. Soupir.

J’envoie mon disque en panne et je m'attends à recevoir rapidement le disque de remplacement. Après une semaine l'Accusé de Réception de mon envoi est déjà de retour, mais toujours pas de remplacement. Je recontacte le SAV pour demander s'il est au moins envoyé. Elle va faire le nécessaire. Deux heures plus tard je reçois un mail de la poste comme quoi un envoi de WD pour moi vient à l'instant de leur être confié. Je me demande ce que le mot "Anticipé" signifie chez Western Digital. Entre temps WD envoie une enquête de satisfaction. J'attends toujours l'arrivé du disque de remplacement...

Après le week-end le disque arrive enfin. Trois semaines après mon achat. Je le branche et il fonctionne parfaitement. Je remplis le formulaire de satisfaction avec toute l'histoire ci-dessus. Je n'ai plus jamais rien entendu de la part de WD. Ni de geste commercial, ni même une excuse par mail. RIEN.

Western Digital croit probablement que l'excellente réputation de leurs disques suffit. Je peux vous assurer que mon prochain disque sera acheté auprès de leur concurrent.

Mal embalado

Reviewed in Spain on 26 February 2018

Capacity: 4TBColour: PurpleVerified Purchase

Todavía no lo he examinado para detectar si a consecuencia del envío tiene sectores dañados, pero enviar un disco duro con la desprotección con la que ha sido enviado este es sencillamente ridículo. El embalaje ha sido nulo: el disco duro en una bolsa de plástico (ni siquiera mullida, sólo plástico fino) en la caja. Ha estado zarandeándose y dándose golpes durante todo el camino (se notan las muescas en el plástico de los golpes) sin ningún tipo de protección. Si el disco está dañado lo devolveré de inmediato; de hecho, aunque no lo esté en el primer día, me pregunto hasta qué punto el envío puede haber causado daños estructurales que se revelen más adelante. Piezas tan delicadas deben ir mejor embaladas.

Por lo demás, los WD Purple son ya conocidos, y en lo que se refiere a silenciosos son imbatibles.

**Tras examinar el disco he subido mi valoración porque no parece tener daños y el silencio de los Purple se cumple. De todas formas, venía fatal embalado y es una lotería que llegue en buenas condiciones.
