WD Red or Purple

I've got a N54L microserver that is used to record IP cameras. Which of these drives would be best suited? I know Red is for NAS, but it will be only used for the IP cameras, so I'm not sure which would be best suited?

Thanks,
Johnny

Are the cameras always on or motion triggered?

Motion, but as there is a few cameras in a busy area there is a lot of activity.

The Purple are the one for surveillance use. They are designed for this purpose and have some extra tech to help with picture quality. If you can go with those then they would say that is the better option.

Given purple are expressly intended for surveillance, and that is exactly what this box will be doing... seems kind of a no-brainer?
