These new drives and tools can meet the complex and dynamic data demands of the surveillance field in transformation, with high performance, capacity and endurance.

The following words is from Oded Sagee, the senior director of product marketing, Western Digital:

As the adoption of higher resolution and AI-enabled cameras expands, and traditional centralized surveillance video systems become more distributed, fast and reliable storage with higher capacities are essential for enabling surveillance devices to capture, analyze and transform greater amounts of data, locally, and in real-time. With the new devices and analytics capability introduced today, we are excited to enable the new era of smart video and AI-driven surveillance systems with the industry’s most comprehensive offering for surveillance, from the edge to the core.

In the field of modern video surveillance, the videos and the rich metadata can provide valuable insights for forensic analyses and predictive actions.

Now, you can see some detailed information about these three new offerings.

3D NAND UFS EFD for Surveillance

The Western Digital iNAND® IX EU312 UFS EFD is the industry’s first industrial-grade 3D NAND UFS embedded flash drive for surveillance.

It is built on the company’s advanced 3D NAND architecture, and has high capacities to camera and smart video applications at the edge.

The read speeds can be up to 750 MB/s, and the write speed is up to 320 MB/s. Besides, it also supports read- and write-intensive use cases, including AI-enabled video cameras and edge devices.

In addition, it supports for up to 768 TBW and provides the robust endurance levels required for the continuous recording conditions. Its EFD aims at the advanced NAND flash management firmware, like robust error correction code, read-refresh, wear-leveling and bad block management.

WD Purple MicroSD Card

In the earlier of this year, the WD company has introduced the WD Purple microSD card which is specially designed for surveillance cameras which has high performance, endurance and reliability to 24*7 video surveillance cameras at the edge.

Currently, the capacity of the drive can reach up to 256 GB and it supports up to 1,000 P/E cycles. And with the help of 3D NAND technology, the WD Purple MicroSD card can deliver long-lasting and on-camera storage for the AI-enabled and high-resolution professional surveillance cameras which need 24*7 continuous operation workloads.

The operating temperatures of this drive range from -25°C to 85°C, and it is humidity resistant. Thus, it can work under extreme weather conditions indoor and outdoor.

Western Digital^® Device Analytics

This is a kind of proactive storage management with Western Digital device analytics technology which is supported by WD Purple hard drive, WD Purple microSD cards, and the Western Digital IX EU312 UFS EFD.

It can provide system integrators and end users unprecedented ability to manage storage on the surveillance system proactively.

It provides the host system with a set of parametric operational and environmental data which can help users to solve the potential issues in advance.

By using its deep analytics, it can extract insights and offer recommended actions which allow improved monitoring and proactive management of the systems for integrators and users and help them to maintain optimal storage operation, and in turn, contribute to reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

Hope these three new offerings can bring you excellent experience in the surveillance field.
