Russian representative office of Western Digital company spread a press release in which it announced the beginning of deliveries of a new hard disk model in the WD Purple family. These are video surveillance systems optimized for working with the ATA streaming instruction set. Using processing commands avoids loss of frames and improves playback. Also, the drives of this family use components of increased reliability, because video surveillance data is recorded around the clock every day
of the week.
