Getting the hang of it
noticed WD Purple PRO has been announced for a while on WD website, and now was just listed on amazon...
-anyone have any experience with the new WD purple PRO drives yet?
scanned thru the data sheets, seems the only difference (maybe i missed something) is:
-5yr warranty (PRO) vs 3yr (non pro),
-550 TB/year workload (PRO) vs 360 TB/year workload (non pro)
-CMR recording technology listed for PRO, not stated for non pro (to be honest looked it up quickly but don't know much about that)
anything else I miss?
-anyone have any experience with ANY of the 18TB purples? assuming NVR firmware can support with no issues.
(i did ask @EMPIRETECANDY about 18 tbs, he said he hadn't heard of anyone using em yet...)
...since i'm in the market for some new drives i guess the question is should wait for new PRO drives, or also wait to see if the non pro drop in price?
