WD Purple is the goto drive for alot of folks, including myself with no issues.

I also run a 14 tb WD purple in the new Empire Tech Nvr with no issues.

I've got four Western Digital 10TB WD Purple Pro Surveillance Internal Hard Drive HDD - SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD101PURP in my Empire Tech NVR. Covers me for 21 days using 15 cameras. I'm going to be brave and up the TB and see what happens should any of them fail before I upgrade the NVR.

I'm tempted to get the Seagate 16TB. But i see its only got the 256MB cache, whereas the WD 14TB has a 512MB. not sure if it makes a huge diff over the extra 2TB and only for a few bucks more./?

I have two 6TB WD Purple that started in a Lorex then moved to my Andy 5232-4KS2. According to the hours on count they’ve been spinning for approximately 4.75 years
