Product overview
Launched on May 18, 2021 as part of Western Digital’s WD Purple Pro surveillance HDD family, the 10TB WD101PURP is a 3.5-inch SATA 6 Gb/s drive using CMR at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache. It targets advanced NVR/VMS builds with a 5‑year warranty and a workload rating up to 550 TB/year.
Positioned in our workstation tier, it exists for 24/7, multi‑bay, always‑on video capture and analytics where sustained writes and durability matter more than random access speed. In a PC, use it as bulk mass storage or to house a large game library; in surveillance, it’s built for continuous recording and AI‑assisted analysis. WDDA health telemetry support is a noteworthy extra for proactive monitoring. (Discontinued status not confirmed.)
