Will this be cool enough to run 24/7 without cooling?

[quantasm2]

I was looking at running a cctv rig on either a Mac Mini or Intel NUC, if I used the following 2 components is it safe to run this 24/7 without any cooling fans?

WD Purple

HDD Dock

If not are there any better options?

Hey there, quantasm2.

The WD Purple drives usually run cool and they are designed for 24/7, always-on, high-definition surveillance security systems in addition to the fact that the HDD won't be in a closed, not ventilated enclosure, I'd say that there shouldn't be any issues in terms of temperature. However, due to the fact that the drive would be connected via a docking station, you should be a bit more careful with it (as you should with any drive connected with a docking station) - liquid spills , accidental bumps, etc.
Just FYI, here's a link where you can take a closer look at the drive's features: WD Purple

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

The WD Purple drive would definitely work and so would the HDD dock! Just ensure security around the dock like Boogieman_WD suggested.
