Description

Key Characteristics of a WD Purple 500GB Drive Purpose-Built: Designed to handle the continuous writing demands of surveillance systems. Form Factor: Available in a 3.5-inch size suitable for desktop NVR/DVRs. Technology: Incorporates AllFrame technology to reduce video frame loss and improve playback. Reliability: Engineered to withstand the higher operating temperatures and equipment vibrations found in surveillance environments. Why a 2.5-inch WD Purple 500GB Drive Isn’t Common Different Product Lines: 2.5-inch drives are typically found in laptop or portable devices, using different lines like WD Blue, Black, or Green. Surveillance Needs: Surveillance systems usually require the larger capacity and robust 3.5-inch format for the higher storage needs of video recording, not the more compact 2.5-inch form factor.
