WHAT DO USERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WD Purple 6TB Surveillance Hard Drive?
- “My 6TB WD PURPLE lasted 5 YEARS + 1 DAY (not kidding here), spinning, and reading & writing, NON-STOP in my NVR. Though not my first WD HDD by far, my decision to invest in WD reliability was well worth it! I’ve been using only WD HDDs for over 30 years”
