WD Purple used as external disk?

Hi, I’d like to buy a new WD Purple for videosurveillance, but in my home network I’ll use it connected to a small fanless PC; what’s the best solution?
Could I use it with a docking station or with a dedicated case and transform it as a sort of external disk? In this cases, will I loose performances, correct?
What’s the alternate suggestion, in this case?
Thanks, Regards.
