Customer reviews
Write a reviewFailed after a year of use, has 3 year warranty. - Failed after a 1 year and 1 month of use. I had to pay the shipping to return it to WD for replacement; let's see if WD's warranty will send a new one or fixed/refurbished/renewed one.
Works as expected - I needed a 16TB space for my NVR. WD Purple is a tried-and-true drive. Best Buy had it in stock, and the price was better than Amazon's.
Gets the job done. I would purchase again if needed.
Works as expected - I bought this HD for my security camera system after first trying a Seagate, which failed within one week. So far, so good. I'm running it in a Vantec Nexstar JX enclosure and it is doing a great job of handling the stream from 7 high def cameras
I always liked WD drive but this one failed me - I have a Reolink NVR and installed a 8tb WD Purple hard drive and it failed me within a few days. I ended up ordering a seagate and so far it’s been great
wasted $ - Item came dead on arrival. Now put me in that raffle!
Quality security drive. - Dive works very well for the application I needed. It runs read and write 24/7 and has worked flawlessly. The specs are perfect and the quality feels very high/
Great Product ! - This was just what I needed for my purpose and it works great.
A tried-and true drive - I needed a bigger drive for my NVR. WD Purple is a tried-and-true drive. Best Buy had it in stock (delivered via FedEx), and the price was better than Amazon's, which also had a 2-week delivery backlog.
WD PURPLE - So far, no problems with the way it's been working.Does its job and it does it well.
Horrible shipping - They shipped this device like amazon ships things that might not get broken. Zero packaging inside of the box to hold the drive in place. Sure the box has its own packaging but still it is a very sensitive piece. Woupd not purchase this again as it could lead to early failure.
It Works - It’s a Western Digital hard drive. It works, and that’s it. Set it and forget it; there is no other option besides the purple one for surveillance systems.
Works perfectly - Larger hard drive for security cameras. Works great. Pkugged it in and it worked perfectly. .
Great for cctv - Great upgrade for my cctv system. Planning on purchasing another one as my cctv has 2 bays for hdd
Genuine name brand product. - Brand new and genuine product, with great pricing and delivery. Highly recommended over Amazon.
I like this product - Nice product,I recommend because this product it’s high quality.
