What is the difference between WD Purple drives and ordinary HDDs?
Purple series drives are optimized for the video recording workload profile: they operate correctly during simultaneous recording of multiple streams and are designed for a higher annual workload.
Is the drive compatible with Hikvision and Dahua recorders?
Yes, the drive uses a standard interface and is compatible with recorders from these and most other video surveillance system manufacturers.
Can a single drive be used in several recorders in turn?
Technically this is possible after formatting; however, frequent switching between devices is undesirable — the drive is intended for stable long-term operation in a single device.
