As it was developed to arquive files the need to be available all the time it spin at just 5400 rpm. Way too slow for the big systems available today. It,s ideal to put a 7200rpm disk or even a SSD to boot. In my computer I have a 256GB SSD disk to boot and the main programs and two 2TB 7200rpm drives to other files. So I don´t think the purple drive is good to use as a boot disk. **Q: Will this drive go into my q-see surveillance system model qt5682 which has a 1tb and i'm wanting to upgrade to a 2tb drive.** A: Yes, yes it will. I have a 3TB drive of this series in my qsee system (QC448) for over 1 1/2 years now running 24/7 and not one hickup so far. These are the best drives for surveillance but not excluded other purposes (in my case file server) **Q: Can you replace a 2.0 with a 4.0?** A: Yes, most DVRs and NVRs support 2TB hard drive and larger. **Q: Is this compatible with a hikvision nvr?** A: Yes, it work with anr DVR that support sata hd ## Frequently Bought Together - WD Purple 2TB Surveillance Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD20PURX [Old Version] - SUNBA 10-Channel Face Recognition 4K H.265/H.264 IP Network Camera Digital Video Recorder for Lite Series IP Cameras (NVR-F8010SE) - No Hard Drive - Belkin Large Mouse Pad, 8 Inch by 9 Inch, for Computer or Gaming Mouse Pad, Non-slip Base, Neoprene Backing and Jersey Surface for Smooth Mouse Control and Pinpoint Accuracy (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2325021-wd-purple-2tb-surveillance-hard-disk-drive-5400-rpm-class](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2325021-wd-purple-2tb-surveillance-hard-disk-drive-5400-rpm-class) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
