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. 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.​
  3. 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.​
  4. Single stream at 3.2Mbps (1080p, H.265, 25 fps) for WD22PURZ, WD33PURZ, WD42PURZ, WD43PURZ, WD60PURZ, WD62PURZ, WD63PURZ, WD64PURZ, WD84PURZ and 2.6Mbps (720p, H.265, 25 fps) for WD10PURZ, WD20PURZ, WD30PURZ, WD40PURZ. Results may vary depending on camera resolution, file format, frames per second, software, system settings, video quality, and other factors.
