Product Information

Your CCTV system will often have a few different moving components, however, connecting a DVR is one of the most important parts to installing your CCTV. Without a DVR you will not be recording anything, so your system will be rendered useless, aside from being a physical deterrent. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours 3, WD Purple™ drives are engineered for mainstream surveillance DVRs and NVRs that operate 24/7. With tarnish-resistant components 3 and support for more than eight bays 4, WD Purple drives deliver reliable operation even in harsh environments. M hours MTBF, 3-year limited warranty represents an improved total cost of ownership (TCO) with reduced maintenance costs

There may be a whole plethora of factors that affect your decision making process when it comes to choosing a Hard Drive for your DVR. To make this simpler for you, here are a few things to consider when deciding: Price Range It is important to be aware of the drive’s form factor, with 3.5” being the most common for the best HDDs (this is the only type we cover). If you need 2.5”, your options are more limited, especially for capacity. Otherwise, your computer case’s ability to house a certain number of 3.5” drives might be your primary limitation. Available in 2.5” and 3.5” drives giving you the ability to upgrade your PC, laptopand even your games console.

Find out more about how we test. WD Purple drives feature a workload rating of up to 180TB/year 2 - up to three times that of desktop drives - to handle the unique demands of mainstream video surveillance DVR and NVR systems. To put it simply, the same as how a regular Hard Drive works. A Hard Drive is a storage device that can be either internal or external and uses magnetic storage to store digital data. MTBF specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions: workload of 90TB/year and drive temperature of 40°C. Derating of MTBF will occur above these parameters, up to 65°C drive temperature. MTBF does not predict an individual drive’s reliability and does not constitute a warranty.

An AV (Audio Visual) drive is basically a hard drive. But, unlike its standard HDD cousins, an AV is designed to be capable of streaming audio and video content 24 hours a day. They can also deliver a greater reliability than standard desktop drives. Here at Ebuyer.com you will find AV drives from both Seagate and Western Digital the leading brands in hard drive technology. The drives are available in both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch form factors, with up to 6TB of storage. AV drives for surveillance For performance, HDDs are also often gauged by rotations per minute (RPM), which is usually a direct indicator of performance. The RPM value impacts sequential transfers as well as random access latency. Lower RPM drives tend to be quieter and more efficient, while higher RPM drives have better performance. There are also variable RPM drives that try to achieve the best of both worlds. Power draw, heat, and noise are factors related to performance.
