What type of hard drive should I purchase for my system's video storage? This will be for a Blue Iris system. I will likely be getting an 8TB drive in order to keep a month of data.
In the 8TB world, there seems to be only two options:
The cost difference is not a factor in my purchase decision, nor is it when looking at, say, 6TB vs 4TB or 8TB vs 6TB. If there's nothing wrong with using an 8TB drive, I will be going that route. I have noticed that WD also makes a Blue drive in the smaller sizes. I am just not sure what type of drive is best for my application.
Thanks!
