Western Digital 4TB WD Purple Surveillance Internal Hard Drive HDD - SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5 - WD42PURZ

Replaced a 3TB drive that went bad after 4 years with this one. Easy to install.

Just stop working after 7 days of use. Warranty process is very critical.

Broke after 15 days. Drive doesnt get detected in Windows or Linux. I get ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error in Linux and Disk1Unitialized Disk in windows. Return period was only 10 days and couldnt even return. Had to claim WD warranty for replacement

The drives a piece of junk. DOA. The motor doesnt even seem to spin. It was purchased supposedly new from HardDriveGeeks through Amazon.

Because of reviews from buyers complaining that the drive they received wasnt new, or was packaged carelessly, I give you my comments. This review is specifically about a 4TB WD Purple WDPURZ 3.5 drive designed for 24 x 7 systems and sold and delivered by Amazon. It was made in Thailand in August 2022, four months ago. It was in a pristine anti-static bag, sealed, with a desiccant pouch inside. The drive was supported by a plastic anti-shock nest at two sides that isolated it well, inside a strong cardboard box. This is a very common apparatus I see when I buy new drives. I suspect its engineered to guarantee that no matter who does what with the package, the drive will never be disturbed. I cant say anything about the working of the drive; we all know theres a very high probability it will work perfectly and last a long time, and that prediction will apply to the one you buy too, even if I get incredibly unlucky and mine bursts into flame the moment I plug it in.

I bought this drive to use in my Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro. I have four cameras hooked up to it, and its run perfectly for the past two years. When the day comes I need a replacement, I would definitely buy this again.

Lasted less than 3 months in a NVR. Reformatting did not help. It constantly returns an error status. As SSDs have come down in price since then (and work perfectly fine in my other NVR), this is probably the last hard drive I will ever buy. SSDs are still more expensive, but that is a trade off I am willing to make. I have had many failed hard drives (usually after a year or more, though), but not a single SSD failure that I can think of. The hard drive was also noisy with constant thumping noises when it was originally working. Noticeable and annoying in a quiet office. It was warm to the touch even when the only thing it was doing was sending a error status back. The SSDs are much nicer to live with.

Não está em uso, apenas testei se o pc reconhecia o hd. Reconheceu.

This was a replacement for a worn out security camera HDD. Easy to install. It does NOT come with connection or power wires.
