The new 22TB line of WD Purple hard disc drives (HDDs) from Western Digital, which includes the WD Purple Pro HDD, WD Purple HDD, and WD Purple microSD TM card, will be on exhibit. These HDDs were designed exclusively for smart video. These devices deliver dependable, surveillance-class storage that has been validated for interoperability in a wide range of smart video systems, improving total video playback efficiency. Up to 64 single-stream HD cameras and several of the most recent smart cameras that send multiple streams can be accommodated by WD Purple Pro discs. With an MTBF of up to 2.5 million hours, it provides great dependability for cutting-edge smart video solutions that run continuously.

Moreover, the company will be showcasing its industry-leading Ultrastar DC HC570 22TB CMR hard drives to support cloud service providers (CSPs), video surveillance as a service (VSaaS) providers, telcos and system integrators. Delivering the industry’s highest CMR areal density, these drives help customers store more data and videos in the same footprint, the lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and help meet sustainability goals. Additionally, one of the new technology innovations in its 22TB Ultrastar HDD™ is a feature uniquely enabled by OptiNAND that combines the performance of write cache enabled (WCE) mode and the data protection of write cache disabled (WCD) mode, offering the best of both scenarios without compromise.

Last but not least, visitors to Western Digital’s booth (stand S1-J11) will see a live demonstration of its Ultrastar Data102 storage platform system, which is designed to meet the demanding storage needs of large enterprise customers, storage OEMs, cloud service providers, as well as resellers/integrators needing dense, shared HDD.
