Proactive storage management with WDDA™

Western Digital Device Analytics™ (WDDA) provides drive health management features for compatible recorders and video management systems.

[1]As used for storage capacity, 1TB = one trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less, depending on operating environment.
[2]Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive.  Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred ✕ (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations
[3]Projected values. When final, MTBF and AFR specifications will be based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions, workload of 220TB/year and drive temperature of 40°C.  Derating of MTBF and AFR will occur above these parameters, up to 550TB writes per year and 65°C drive temperature.  MTBF and AFR ratings do not predict an individual drive's reliability and do not constitute a warranty.
[4]Single stream per camera @ 3.2Mbps (1080p, H.265, 25 fps).  Results may vary depending on camera resolution, file format, frames per second, software, system settings, video quality, and other factors.
