WD Purple Pro 3.5" 24TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SATA III Hard Drive for Surveillance

The WD Purple Pro hard drive is engineered for advanced surveillance systems, including AI-enabled recorders, video analytics appliances, and deep-learning servers. Its construction features tarnish-resistant components for operation in harsh environments and provides additional robustness in multi-bay enclosures. This drive is optimized to support up to 64 single-stream cameras, making it suitable for high-density recording applications. The design prioritizes reliability for systems requiring continuous, 24/7 operation and consistent data throughput.

This HDD is rated for a workload of 550 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, indicating its suitability for long-term, intensive data writing. Performance in multi-drive configurations is maintained through integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors, which help to mitigate operational vibration. A 7200 RPM spindle speed combined with a large cache facilitates efficient data processing and retrieval for real-time analytics and video access.
