Which WD Purple HD?

[a82j1]

I'm look to purchase a 32 channel NVR. Model DS-7732NI-I4-16P looks to be most suitable.

Looking at the data sheet it can only accept sizes up to 6TB.

What's concerning me is that only the old WD Purple models are listed as compatible (using the WD checker).

WD60PURZ - 64MB cache - Compatible
WD62PURZ - 128MB cache - unknown
WD63PURZ - 256MB cache - unknown

Can anyone confirm?

Alternatively is there a replacement models for DS-7732NI-I4-16P I should be looking at?

You can ignore what Hikvision say.
Their data is based upon what they knew when the product is launched.

Go with a WD Purple Pro HDD for a 32-camera NVR:

Thanks Phil! I also noticed the data sheet on your shop shows "up to 6TB" but the one on the Hikvision website says 10TB?

Thanks, I'll ask that the datasheet on our product page be updated.

It's very hard for all of us to keep up with one another; 22TB Purple HDDs coming this Summer!
