Western Digital hard drives in Kenya

Western Digital (WD) is one of the best-known hard drive makers, with product lines for desktops, laptops and surveillance. This collection lists the WD Purple surveillance hard drives in capacities from 1TB to 12TB, a 500GB 2.5-inch laptop hard disk and a WD Elements USB 3.0 casing to turn a 2.5-inch drive into portable storage.

WD Purple for CCTV recorders

WD Purple drives are designed for 24/7 video recording in DVRs and NVRs, unlike ordinary desktop drives built for lighter, intermittent use. The listings quote a 180TB per year workload rating on the larger models, and support for up to 64 HD cameras on the 1TB model.

How to choose capacity

  • Cameras and resolution: more cameras and higher resolution use more space per day.
  • Recording mode: continuous recording needs far more storage than motion-only recording.
  • Retention: decide how many days of footage you must keep.
  • Recorder limits: check the maximum drive size and number of bays in your DVR or NVR.
Capacity Speed and cache (from listings)
1TB 5400 rpm, 64MB
2TB 5400 rpm, 64MB
4TB 5400 rpm, 256MB

8TB 5400 rpm, 256MB
10TB 7200 rpm, 256MB
12TB 7200 rpm, 256MB

Laptop drive and external casing

For a laptop upgrade or replacement, the WD 500GB internal laptop hard disk is a 2.5-inch drive. A used or spare 2.5-inch SATA drive or SSD can be reused as a portable drive with the WD Elements USB 3.0 hard disk casing.

Where to look next

See our surveillance hard drives and general hard disks, and pair storage with a DVR.

Gold Data centre and enterprise

WD Green was discontinued in 2015 and folded into Blue. This collection stocks the Purple line plus a general-purpose laptop drive, so match the drive to the job rather than using a surveillance drive as a desktop disk. WD's own site offers a surveillance storage estimator and a compatibility selector for choosing a Purple drive.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use WD Purple in a desktop PC? It is a SATA III 3.5-inch drive, so it fits a desktop, but it is optimised for recording rather than general use.

What is the difference between 5400 and 7200 rpm? Higher rpm can help throughput; the surveillance models here balance performance with heat and noise.

Does the casing include a drive? No, the listing describes an empty enclosure.
