WDC WD30PURX-64P6ZY0 ATA Device
The WDC WD30PURX-64P6ZY0 is a hard drive from Western Digital (WD) that belongs to the Purple series. This series is specifically designed for use in surveillance systems (security DVRs) and for 24/7 operation. The WD30PURX offers a combination of high capacity and reliability that is optimized for the continuous recording and storage of video data.
Here is a comprehensive description of the technical details, functions and application areas of the WDC WD30PURX-64P6ZY0:
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- Storage capacity: 3 TB (terabytes)
- This capacity allows the storage of large amounts of video data, making it ideal for surveillance systems that continuously record data.
2. Interface:
- SATA III (SATA 6 Gb/s): The WD30PURX uses the SATA III interface, which enables a maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/s (600 MB/s). This ensures fast data transfers and efficient use of storage capacity.
3. Form factor:
- 3.5 inch: The hard drive has the 3.5 inch form factor typically used in desktop PCs, NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices and surveillance recorders.
4. Speed:
- Speed: 5,400 rpm (revolutions per minute)
- The WD30PURX rotates at 5,400 rpm, making it suitable for continuous operation in surveillance systems as it runs quieter and cooler than hard drives with higher speeds (e.g. 7,200 rpm).
5. Cache memory:
- Cache size: 64 MB
- Cache memory helps improve data transfer rate by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, thereby optimizing the overall performance of the hard drive.
6. Error correction and reliability:
- IntelliSeek Technology: IntelliSeek technology helps minimize noise and power consumption by optimizing search speed.
- AllFrame Technology: AllFrame technology improves video storage by reducing frame dropouts and improving stream processing in surveillance systems.
- Error Recovery Control: This feature protects against data loss by ensuring data integrity during continuous write and read operations.
7. Power consumption:
- Typical power consumption: 6.8 W (operating), 5.0 W (idle)
- The hard drive is designed for continuous operation, while power consumption remains moderate compared to faster hard drives, optimizing energy consumption in surveillance systems.
8. Operating and storage temperature:
- Operating temperature: 0°C to 65°C
- Storage temperature: -40°C to 70°C
- These temperatures ensure that the hard drive operates reliably under different conditions and is well protected against extreme temperatures.
9. Dimensions and weight:
- Dimensions: 147mm x 101.6mm x 26.1mm
- Weight: Approximately 700 g
- The 3.5-inch form factor enables integration into standard enclosures and racks.
Features

- AllFrame Technology: This feature is specifically optimized for surveillance and improves video data storage by minimizing data loss and maintaining image quality.
2. High capacity:
- Large Storage Space: At 3TB, the hard drive offers plenty of space for continuous storage of video recordings, making it ideal for systems that need to store data over long periods of time.
3. Energy efficiency:
- Optimized Power Consumption: The hard drive is designed to work efficiently and help minimize power consumption, which is especially beneficial in surveillance systems that run 24/7.
4. Reliability:
- Error Correction: Integrated error correction technologies and cache memory improve reliability and data integrity by optimizing performance during continuous operation.
5. Quiet operation:
- Low noise: The hard drive runs more quietly than higher speed models, making it particularly suitable for environments where low noise levels are required.
6. Long-term use:
- 24/7 operation: The WD30PURX is designed for continuous operation, which means it can be used in surveillance systems that run around the clock.
Scope
1. Surveillance systems:
- DVR/NVR systems: The hard drive is ideal for use in digital video recorders (DVRs) and network video recorders (NVRs) that continuously store video recordings.
2. NAS devices:
- Network storage: The high capacity and reliability make the hard drive suitable for use in NAS devices designed to store large amounts of data.
3. Desktop-Computer:
- Expansion of storage: In desktop PCs, the WD30PURX can be used as additional storage space, especially for applications that need to store a large amount of data.
4. Archiving:
- Long-term storage: The hard drive is suitable for long-term archiving of data, especially video and image data that needs to be created and stored regularly.
5. Energy efficient systems:
- Low power systems: The low power consumption makes the hard drive suitable for systems where energy efficiency is important.
