Your 64-camera NVR is choking on footage, or the drive in bay four just died at 2 am and you're staring at a blank monitor. Sorted.
The WD Purple Pro 26TB is a CMR surveillance drive built for AI-enabled recorders, video analytics appliances, deep-learning servers, and cloud-based storage in RAID or JBOD. It handles up to 550 TB of writes per year without degrading — the workload your multi-bay enclosure actually throws at it.
7200 RPM. 512 MB cache. Sustained transfer up to 287 MB/s over SATA. Tarnish-resistant internals rated for 0–65 °C operating temps, so it doesn't care whether it lives in a server room or a shed outside Dubbo.
Fits standard 3.5-inch bays (5.79" × 4" × 1.03", 690 g). Supports up to 64 single-stream cameras. Five-year limited warranty from Western Digital.
