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...
