Review: Any WD not a wrong buy. - Last drive (WD 3T blue) was great, as (I hesitate to say incase they get complacent after their excellent work - was the previous WD 2T RED & WD 2 T Green). I use for reliable storage but this time I needed a drive for possible OS & storage (win 7, XP 64 Pro). Over the past 18 years various drives have dominated (in 2000 I would not best a WD drive). Now after years of use the Seagate Barracudas & definately Maxtores are mostly dead. The Hitachis are balanced between fine & quite problematic. The WD's I have bought in the last decade are still semless: Red: Perfect - used as storage for 8+years in an external enclosure (Probox - god i miss these indestructable esata boxes and the old prices) Blue: Perfect - used as a drop in for the Icy Box Dock. 1 Year. Solid & no real speed difference over e-sata (love e-sata) Green: Perfect - as drop in again this is still solid, reliable and holds e-sata speed (not much in it but blue & red seem very marginally better) Purple: Great/Perfect - they really know what they are doing. I tried this for a change. Good E-sata speed, very Reliable as to date. Well built as norm, nice drive. At the moment I love n trust WD's work. Have not tried black but do not see the need with PC speeds non server. The rest are all excellent. Purple? I guess time ...several years will tell (or use in much security recording as designed...still awhile I would say). Green are fine, red n blue I feel more comfortable with, as too do I purple. A larger size may lead you to their proposed red or blue, and for a speed margin perhaps black (not needed for regular home PC). Nice to have options but better to have ones data still accessible. For now I don't look elsewhere, I just check price & needed size (I don't need NAS so only pure storage drives I get will be over 2T - this is the tec that does move on...& prices get better). Cheers WD... lifesaver.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to buy cctv and it says hdd 1tb. does it mean its ready to record footage? sorry if it sounds dumb question. i am new to all this.**
A: This is just a HDD and not any sort of recording DVR. you will need some sort of recording device to put this drive into. Sounds like your looking at something already fitted with a HDD do you have a link to what your looking at?

**Q: Would this hard drive fit into a Qvis system?**
A: Sorry I can’t answer your question. The guy who fitted my cctv system told me what parts to order. My system is Hikvision, but this part is universal , so may be.

**Q: "I have brought a H.265+ digital video recorder can this be used in it**
A: Yes, this can be used. But make sure it is a purple hard drive, if you don't the hard drive will pack up in so many weeks.
This happened to me, which I made the mistake and then had to buy a new one. Which why I bought a Western Digital 1 TB purple hard drive.

**Q: So this is better than a desktop hdd for surveillance, but what are the cons if I were to use it for my desktop pc?**
A: No cons apart from the price, simply because this drive is designed to be used 24/7.George

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good hdd for your DVR box
*by N***. on 9 October 2016*

So far so good, direct replacement for an old Seagate drive in the DVR box, old one out, new one in, auto format and away it goes. Seems to work fine, ask me in a couple of years! Old one lasted a couple (was a cheapy from auction).
