Before handling the hard drive, before you take it out of its package - you MUST DISCHARGE ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY FROM YOURSELF, YOUR WORK AREA, AND ITEMS TO BE USED!
The best way to do that is to purchase a ground strap for your wrist. There's a velcro strap that you strap around your wrist and it's connected to a spiral cable which extends to a alligator clip. The alligator clip you can attach to a piece of metal or something going to the ground and that'll discharge any static electricity from your body. They also make anti-static mat that you can work on. Some people take anti static fabric sheets and rub them on themselves or they rub their hands on metal to make sure they discharged the static electricity from their body. Just don't purposely Shuffle on carpeting or known areas of static electricity build up cuz this can damage your equipment!
So I opened up my Envy our case, after unplugging all the power cables and video cables. From there there are four bolts on the bottom holding the existing hard drive to the bottom of the case. Once I remove those, the hard drive slid straight out from its connector. The new hard drive the Western Digital purple 6Tb plugged in very nicely! I reinserted the four screws underneath and put the top of the case back on, plugged everything in formatted the hard drive and it's been working beautifully!
I'm using this to increase the capacity of my Swann 8580 series NVR surveillance system. It won't allow anything larger than 6 terabytes and it came with a 2 terabyte hard drive.
Instead of transferring files from the m v r to an SD card or a Micro SD card then to an external hard drive or computer, I just decided to go with a larger hard drive and when it's full have another one ready to replace it and store them safely then I can always have the original. And then I'm able to put that back in the NVR and use all the features of the NVR to examine the video, which you lose when you download the videos and transfer them. And it takes a very long time to transfer 122 terabytes of information from the NVR to a micro SD card or an SD card then uploading to an external hard drive or computer. And that way you also have a recording of everything the surveillance system captured in case you missed a recording and now you no longer have it. And then it gives me time to review recordings and then I'm able to reuse the hard drive after formatting it.

This technology ensures seamless video footage capture, playback, and optimal performance under continuous write-intensive workloads.

The 64MB cache and 5400rpm rotation speed contribute to a responsive and smooth operation, allowing for quick access to recorded footage. The drive’s ability to handle up to 180TB per year highlights its durability and suitability for 24/7 surveillance environments.
Installation was straightforward, and the drive has exhibited consistent performance since integration into my surveillance system. It operates quietly and remains cool, which is crucial for systems running continuously.
The Western Digital Purple series is designed to prioritize reliability and data integrity, crucial aspects for surveillance applications where every frame matters. The drive’s compatibility with a wide range of surveillance systems further adds to its versatility.
In conclusion, if you are in search of a surveillance-specific hard drive that delivers on both capacity and performance, the Western Digital Purple 6TB HDD with Allframe 4K Technology is a solid choice. It meets the demands of continuous surveillance, providing reliable storage for high-definition video footage. Highly recommended for those prioritizing durability and functionality in their surveillance setups.
