Higher Capacity for Smarter Video​

AI thrives on video data. WD Purple Pro delivers big capacities up to 26TB1 for larger-scale deployments and longer-term retention — so your system holds more high-quality footage and gives analytics more to learn from.

Enterprise-Class Reliability

Modern cameras and AI-enabled recorders send multiple streams of high-definition video, images, and metadata to storage at once. WD Purple Pro delivers our highest level of performance to accurately capture and store every stream for real-time analysis.​

Built for Advanced Smart Video​

WD Purple Pro supports a higher workload rating of up to 550TB/year2— three times that of mainstream video surveillance drives — to keep up with the heavy video capture and AI analysis found in advanced video management systems.

Innovative AllFrame AI Technology​

AllFrame AI technology intelligently guides video, picture, and metadata streams to disk while mitigating dropped frames — helping preserve complete, usable video data for accurate AI analytics.

Proactive Drive Health with WDDA

Western Digital Device Analytics (WDDA) monitors drive health and recommends action to improve drive operation, helping you keep surveillance systems running reliably. Requires a compatible video recorder or system.​

Disclosures

  1. 1MB = 1 million bytes, 1GB = 1 billion bytes, 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.​
  2. MTBF specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions (workload of 220TB/year, drive temperature of 40°C). Derating of MTBF will occur above these parameters, up to 550TB/year and 60°C (device-reported temperature). MTBF does not predict an individual drive's reliability and does not constitute a warranty.​
  3. Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred × (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.​
  4. See https://www.westerndigital.com/support/store/warranty-policy for region-specific warranty details.
