Western Digital's AllFrame AI technology is designed to reduce frame loss and support simultaneous smart-video recording and analytics workflows.
64 HD plus 32 AI streams
The family is optimised for up to 64 single-stream HD cameras and up to 32 concurrent AI streams under Western Digital's stated conditions.
550TB/year workload
The published workload rating supports demanding 24/7 video capture and analysis environments.
CMR at 7,200RPM
Conventional magnetic recording and a 7,200RPM spindle provide predictable sustained behaviour for supported surveillance workloads.
Up to 267MB/s
This exact 8TB model is rated for transfer speeds up to 267MB/s.
