WD Purple Pro Video Analytics Hard Drive - 14TB
See More Than Ever Before: The Drive Behind AI Video Analytics
Available up to 26TB (1MB = 1 million bytes, 1GB = 1 billion bytes, 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.), WD Purple Pro drives deliver the ultimate reliability, capacity, and performance for the most demanding AI-enabled video recording and analytics environments — built to capture, retain, and process massive volumes of high-resolution surveillance video in always-on, multi-stream systems.
- High-capacity storage up to 26TB (1MB = 1 million bytes, 1GB = 1 billion bytes, 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.) for larger-scale deployments and longer-term video retention that fuels better analytics.
- Enterprise-class reliability rated up to 2.5M hours MTBF (MTBF specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions (workload of 220TB/year, drive temperature of 40°C). Derating of MTBF will occur above these parameters, up to 550TB/year and 60°C (device-reported temperature). MTBF does not predict an individual drive's reliability and does not constitute a warranty.), backed by a 5-year limited warranty (See https://www.westerndigital.com/support/store/warranty-policy for region-specific warranty details.).
- Highest-level performance captures multiple HD video, image, and metadata streams simultaneously for real-time AI analysis.
- Higher 550TB/yr (Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualised (TB transferred x (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.) workload rating — 3x a mainstream surveillance drive — for heavy video capture and AI workloads.
- AllFrame AI technology guides video, image, and metadata to disk while mitigating dropped frames to preserve footage.
Higher Capacity for Smarter Video
AI thrives on video data. WD Purple Pro delivers big capacities up to 26TB (1MB = 1 million bytes, 1GB = 1 billion bytes, 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.) for larger-scale deployments and longer-term retention — so your system holds more high-quality footage and gives analytics more to learn from.
Enterprise-Class Reliability
True enterprise-class drives designed for the highest level of reliability. Rated at up to 2.5 million hours MTBF (MTBF specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions (workload of 220TB/year, drive temperature of 40°C). Derating of MTBF will occur above these parameters, up to 550TB/year and 60°C (device-reported temperature). MTBF does not predict an individual drive's reliability and does not constitute a warranty.) and backed by a 5-year limited warranty (See https://www.westerndigital.com/support/store/warranty-policy for region-specific warranty details.), WD Purple Pro is built for high-end video recorders and analytics servers that run 24x7.
Simultaneous Recording and Real-Time AI Analysis
Modern cameras and AI-enabled recorders send multiple streams of high-definition video, images, and metadata to storage at once. WD Purple Pro delivers their highest level of performance to accurately capture and store every stream for real-time analysis.
Built for Advanced Smart Video
WD Purple Pro supports a higher workload rating of up to 550TB/year (MTBF specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions (workload of 220TB/year, drive temperature of 40°C). Derating of MTBF will occur above these parameters, up to 550TB/year and 60°C (device-reported temperature). MTBF does not predict an individual drive's reliability and does not constitute a warranty.)— three times that of mainstream video surveillance drives — to keep up with the heavy video capture and AI analysis found in advanced video management systems.
Innovative AllFrame AI Technology
AllFrame AI technology intelligently guides video, picture, and metadata streams to disk while mitigating dropped frames — helping preserve complete, usable video data for accurate AI analytics.
Proactive Drive Health with WDDA
Western Digital Device Analytics (WDDA) monitors drive health and recommends action to improve drive operation, helping you keep surveillance systems running reliably. Requires a compatible video recorder or system.
Backed by a 5 year Western Digital warranty.
