    WD Purple™ PR1200M Description and Features 1.0 D ESCRIPTION AND EATURES General Description WD Purple Surveillance Storage is built for 24/7 always-on surveillance in high definition security systems that utilize higher hard drive bay counts and up to 64 cameras. Exclusive AllFrame 4K™ technology works with ATA streaming to reduce error pixilation and video interruptions that occur when desktop hard drives are incorrectly used as storage in security systems.
  • Page 12 Description and Features WD Purple™ PR1200M maintains an even distribution and does not become depleted. This feature ensures reliability for applications that perform a high incidence of read/write operations at the same physical location on the disk. Femto Slider — These drives incorporate the femto slider form factor in which the read/write head is mounted on the small, lightweight femto slider which allows the head to move more quickly from track to track on the disk.
  • Page 13 WD Purple™ PR1200M Description and Features Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) — S.M.A.R.T. enables a drive’s internal status to be monitored through diagnostic commands at the host level and during offline activities. S.M.A.R.T. devices employ data analysis algorithms that are used to predict the likelihood of some near-term degradation or fault conditions.

Device Configuration Overlay (DCO) — allows hiding of supported features via a SATA feature mask. AllFrame 4K™ technology All WD Purple™ drives are equipped with AllFrame 4K™ technology, which improves ATA streaming to help reduce frame loss, improve overall video playback, and increase the number of hard drive bays supported within a NVR.
  • Page 25: Notouch Ramp Load Technology

    WD Purple™ PR1200M Product Features NoTouch Ramp Load Technology Parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non- operational shock tolerance.
