The Right Drive for The Right Job WD violet™ drives have been engineered specifically for surveillance, so they’re able to withstand the elevated heat fluctuations & equipment vibrations within NVR environments. An average desktop drive is built to run for only short intervals, not the harsh 24/7 always-on environment of a high-definition surveillance system. A disruption to a drive could result in a failure that impacts multiple users, your security archive, or even the entire system. With WD violet™, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide-range of security systems. Industry-Leading Storage.
