Rank 6 out of 21CHIP OnlineGroße Festplatten im Test: Bis zu 8 TByte Speicher im PCReleaseMay 2015

One of the strengths of the Western Digital Purple is its large capacity of 6 TB, but the low volume and good transfer rates also stood out positively here. However, the access times are somewhat long and the application performance is not particularly convincing.

This test report belongs to a different type: Purple 6TB WD60PURX (6 TB, 3.5")

  • NegativeHigh random access time and low all-round performance (both irrelavant for the field of application)

Western Digital's Purple series are very individually tailored drives for AV/surveillance use, which are only very conditionally suitable as a replacement for desktop HDDs in normal PCs or HTPCs/recorders. The WD60PURX is particularly good when the focus is on power consumption, thermal emissions and operating noise...
