reliable surveillance hard drive

Reliable Storage you can count on

You need reliability and performance in your security system. This means you need a hard drive that can handle the high workload demands of 24/7 security monitoring. That's why Lorex offers WD Purple surveillance hard drives. These drives are built specifically for continuous security recording and can even continue to record as you stream live or previously recorded video.

Surveillance vs. Traditional Hard Drives

Traditional desktop hard drives are not designed to run continuously. Your WD Purple surveillance hard drive, on the other hand, can run optimally 24/7. In fact, the average desktop or laptop hard drive has a workload rate of about 55TB/year. WD Purple Surveillance drives, conversely, have a workload rate of 180TB/year. This higher workload rate greatly increases the reliability of the hard drive, so that there is a much lower risk of hard drive failure or data loss. These drives also have a MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of up to 1.5 million hours, which is much longer that the average desktop's hard drive.

WD's exclusive AllFrame™ 4K technology

Western Digital's Purple drives feature AllFrame 4K™ Technology. This technology is designed to minimize frame loss to ensure you don't miss a moment. It also improves ATA streaming, helps reduce errors, pixelation, and other video interruptions that can occur with a video recording system.

hard drives for DVRs and NVRs

IntelliSeek™ technology

One of the common issues with recorders is noise caused by vibrations. WD Purple drives, however, use IntelliSeek™ technology, which calculates the optimum seek speeds to keep ambient noise and vibrations at a minimum. This not only prolongs the life span of the hard drive but also helps minimize the power consumption of your NVR or DVR.

Reviews

The hard drive was easy

"The hard drive was easy to install and was plug and play ready to go. I purchased 2 drivers so it would more than double my hard drive space I never installed the second drive because they did not include the special screws to mount it and they also didn't include a cable that is needed. I ended up returning the second drive since it was overkill and Lorex took it back with no problem"

— Larry K. (4/5)

We've only had the camera

"We've only had the camera system installed for two weeks, but so far, once we figured out how to configure it properly, (ie. using the NVR set up for motion zones vs the phone app), it works great. The two 10TB hard drives are supposed to last for about 65 days, but that is obviously yet to be seen. Thus, in response to your review request, I'll only give it 3 stars (an average review. ) The only major drawback I've noticed so far, is when I turn off the monitor connected to the NVR or do certain other things with the NVR, it requires a new sign-in. Since we don't have a keyboard on the NVR, that can become cumbersome. Is there a way to connect a keyboard to the NVR?"

— Buddy V. (3/5)

Installation was simple and straight

"Installation was simple and straight forward. Manipulating the software isn't as user friendly as I would like to see. I've only spent about 10 minutes but still can't figure out how to change the camera description. I was hit with a prompt for the "camera password" without any information as to what the heck that would be. Is it camera specific? Is there a default? Can't find this info anywhere. So that means more calls to the support line for simple things that a user shouldn't have to bother them with. Once I get that figured out it'll be fine but overall I'm happy with the system."

— Phil G. (5/5)

Was assisted over the phone,

"Was assisted over the phone, the technician was able to diagnose the problem and recommended a new hard drive. I ordered a replacement hard drive from Lorax which was an exact replacement for my system . Easy installation and unit was back up and working. Thank you."

— John S. (5/5)

Simple upgrade

"Very easy to install an upgraded hard drive or a second hard drive and format it for use. All nessecary plugs and screws are provided."
