Western Digital Expands Purple Lineup with a 10 TB Helium-Filled HDD

Not sure if anyone posted about these yet. Came out last week. $399 though.

The 8TB has been going for $280 or so.

I knew by the time I was ready to buy there would be bigger.

according to TFA it's already happened, 8TB seems to be the sweet spot now in price per TB

Meanwhile, it is interesting to note that recently Western Digital cut down the price of its WD Purple 8 TB HDD by 30% and it can now be acquired for $281.99 from Amazon.

...was literally beginning to shop around for a 4TB to bump up from my 2TB drive. Kind of astonishing I managed to stay on 2TB storage with 7 (soon to be 8) 3MP/10FPS/247 recording for as long as I have.

I don't need to upgrade quite yet. I might pump the brakes and see how prices sift out in the coming weeks. Thanks for the post.

Cheapest for me is still 3TB. Only have 3 cameras at the moment. Once prices drop more I may get a second drive.
Anyone knows if these drives are ok to mount vertically (whole NVR flat on a vertical wall)?

tha'll be fine as long as the wall dont move if someone slams a door or something.. thats the biggest issue with wall mounting spinning platters, they pickup too much vibrations.

Racks and Cabinets are best sitting or even bolted onto foundation level floors..

working in a skyrise I'd cringe when a big lard ass walked by and made the floor shake, knew they were largely to blame for the big $100+k storage array that was constantly shitting disks 10ft behind my desk, heh..
