Western Digital WD101PURP Purple Pro 10TB Surveillance SATA Hard Drive

Western Digital WD101PURP Surveillance Hard Drive

The Western Digital WD101PURP surveillance hard drive provides 10TB of internal storage for continuous video recording and analytics. This Purple Pro model combines conventional magnetic recording, a 7200 RPM spindle, and 256MB cache. AllFrame AI technology supports demanding video workloads, with an annualized workload rating of up to 550TB.

Designed for AI-enabled recorders, video analytics appliances, and deep-learning servers, this drive suits installations that capture multiple video streams. For surveillance recorder storage upgrades and high-capacity video analytics systems, its SATA connection and 3.5-inch format fit compatible internal bays. Support extends to RAID arrays and JBOD configurations, where drives operate as individually accessible disks.

AllFrame AI helps reduce dropped frames while supporting up to 64 single-stream HD cameras and 32 AI streams. Actual camera capacity depends on recording settings and system configuration. Western Digital Device Analytics supplies drive-health information through compatible recorders. A five-year limited warranty backs the hardware, while rotational vibration sensors support operation within multi-drive enclosures.
