Great for Home Security VCR recording setup
Bought the 6TB hard drive for the home security and its so worth it. This purple model is specifically made for recording 24/7 which is great and the size is also good, fits perfectly into my VCR recording system. Very well spent and such a great investment. Works perfect for it.

Quality as expected for WD drives.
These WD drives have never let me down. I upgraded from the WD 2TB drives in my RAID 5 array to these 4TB drives to give me more video storage space for my video surveillance system. No issues so far.

This drive works well in systems too
I am currently using this drive in my computer, and it works well. This can be used in systems too, not just DVRs. I am able to store bigger files (gameplay recordings and shared folder for virtual machines) and games that don't require constant/heavy texture streaming.

Was good until now… less than a month with the drive half written on
WD has been in the drive business for ages. Drive is quiet, installs easily and works well in my NVREdit: so after being installed for less than a month, drive starting to make some noise. An intermittent squeaking almost like a faint beep. To me sounds like something’s going on in the head as though it hit bad sectors on the drive platters. I turned off the recording feature on the NVR and the noise went away so now I know it’s not the machine itself….. bad sectors in less than a month and the drive was barely half written on…. I reformatted the drive and now it’s quiet again at the cost of losing all my data. Am I going to have to do this every month? ….. I chose this drive because of WD reputation in the HDD business, now that thought went down the drain…..Edit: after formatting the drive, noise went away for a few days, started to do the same thing again…. Returning this and ordering from different major manufacturer

Set It and Forget It – Reliable for 24/7 Use
Been running 24/7 in my NVR system for months without a hiccup. No noise, no overheating, just reliable storage.✅ Pros: Designed for constant use, very quiet, big storage❌ Cons: Not for regular desktop use (slower read/write)💡 Tip: Use in surveillance systems only — it’s built for write-heavy workloads.

Works but look elsewhere if you need for quiet room.
Works great but as another reviewer said mine also has a creaking sound that sounds like a wooden rocking chair on an old wood floor. Thinking about going with a different brand because the kids are saying they don't like the noise.
