Our take
For those seeking a specific type of drive, this open box Western Digital WD10PURZ Purple drive is a compelling option. The Purple line is often optimized for surveillance systems, meaning it's built for continuous operation. A 1TB capacity is good for recording footage, and the 64MB cache and SATA III interface offer decent performance. The 5400 RPM speed is typical for surveillance drives, prioritizing reliability over raw speed. Features like Hot Plug Support, Hot Swap, and Low Noise Level are excellent additions. Being an 'open box' item means a slight discount, but check the warranty status for peace of mind if continuous use is planned.
