26TB WD Purple Pro Surveillance Hard Drive (Shipped Separately)

A surveillance drive rather than a desktop drive. WD Purple Pro is built for the workload a recorder actually produces: continuous writes, every hour of every day, from multiple camera streams at once.

Built for the installer

Desktop drives fail early in recorders and the failure is quiet. A drive that was never rated for sustained write duty degrades, starts dropping frames, and nobody notices until footage is needed and is not there. Specifying a surveillance-rated drive is what keeps that from becoming your problem on a claim.

Supplied at 26TB. Check the recorder's maximum supported drive capacity and bay count before ordering, since recorders vary and a drive above the supported ceiling may not be recognised.

Key features

• Rated for continuous 24/7 write workloads, which is what a recorder does and a desktop drive does not
• 26TB capacity for extended retention across multiple streams
• Built for multi-stream recording rather than occasional desktop use
• Avoids the quiet failure mode of a desktop drive degrading unnoticed in an NVR

System requirements

Confirm the recorder supports a drive of this capacity and has a free bay before ordering. Drive capacity ceilings vary between recorder models.
