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

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 purchased the item from amazon, it was defective and non returnable. No I have to wait for Service centre to replace it. Please buy from local market even if the rates are little higher.

42 days after purchase the drive is failing. It makes a buzzing sound every few minutes. The SMART info says its Normal but the value rates are all in the mid 250s which does indicate theres a problem. It just hasnt failed yet. Im concerned but will let it go until it actually fails.

He pasado todos mie archivos pesados al hdd y es de buena calidad.

Drive has been doing its job inside my surveillance system for six months now. I never have to think about it. It just keeps working, thats all.

Got this for my unifi cameras. Installed in our Dream Machine Pro. Had to restart it a couple times but eventually it took the hard drive. No issues since the install. Definitely recommend as a surveillance drive. Its located off sight so I cant comment as to whether or not its noisy.

Super easy to swap out!

De qualidade.

NO ME GUSTO EL ENVIO MAL ENPAQUE MUY EXPUESTO Y NO ME SIRVIO PORQUE MANDA FALLAS

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