About this product
The WD 8TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive, model WD85PURZ, is a 3.5-inch HDD specifically designed for surveillance systems.

Our take
If you're building a new surveillance system or expanding an existing one, this 8TB WD Purple drive is a strong contender. The 'Purple' designation means it's optimized for 24/7 video recording, which is a crucial detail for this use case. The 3-year manufacturer warranty offers good peace of mind for a drive that will be constantly active. While it's compatible with Mac and PC, its real strength lies in its specialized features for surveillance. The 8TB capacity is substantial, but the price reflects its specialized nature and large size.
