It appears one of my HDD has failed in my Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P - I'm getting more than 140 sector errors on the one drive. Hikvision state you can fit up to 10TB per HDD. DS-7608NI-I2/8P

The current (failed) drive is a 6TB WD Purple, is a different brand surveillance drive likely to last longer- or just go with the WD again?

I'll likely go for the maximum size possible- so 10TB (unless someone has found larger sizes work?)
 
I ended up going with a 10TB WD Purple Pro (7200RPM and 5 year warranty.) It's working again and inaudible, so not a noisy drive.

I changed the fitting position as the original HD (WD Purple 3TB) is still working and it was on the side opposite the power supply. So I don't know if the additional heat from the power supply helped with the demise of the newer 6GB WD Purple?

Note to self: I also need to clean the vent holes more often, some were clogged with dust. It's not obvious when it's bolted into a cabinet.
