About this product
The Western Digital WD60PURX (or WD60PURZ) is a 6TB internal hard drive from the 'Purple' series, intended for surveillance applications. It comes in a 3.5-inch form factor, connects via a Serial ATA-600 interface, and includes a 64MB cache. With a 5400 RPM rotation speed, this drive is optimized for continuous video recording and offers fast file transfer capabilities. This model is a manufacturer-refurbished (M.Ref) unit, originating from Thailand.
Our take
This manufacturer-refurbished WD Purple 6TB drive offers a cost-effective solution for dedicated surveillance systems. Being part of the Purple series, it's engineered to handle the demands of 24/7 video streaming, which is its primary strength. The 5400 RPM speed and 64MB cache are standard for this application, balancing performance with reliability. The 'M.Ref' status means it's been reconditioned, which can be a good way to save money, but it's important to consider any associated warranty differences compared to new drives. It still offers 'Fast File Transfer' which is useful for managing large surveillance files.
