New PV Setup advice

[rmanTX]

Hey y'all, couple basic-ish questions.

Currently running Blue Iris on a i5 PC along with my Emby HTPC, all on a 4TB HDD.
BI is currently writing to disk on trigger. It's not a great setup.

I plan to build a dedicated PC for BI.
I have an older i5 machine, not even sure what the memory is.

1) What minimum requirements for BI to run reliably?
2) How long can I record 24/7 on 8-10 6mp Dahua cams at 15fps on say 4TB?
3) is WD Purple the golden standard?

Thanks,

Armand
