Looking at doing a Blue Iris surveillance setup with around 40 cameras that is going to require between 200-300 TBs of storage. Have everything figure out other than the HDDs. I had initially planned on WD Purples... but then I saw some Seagate Exos drives that are such a good deal they're hard to pass up... So given the following prices... which drives would you go with for a 200-300 TB setup?
Seagate Exos X16 16TB Enterprise drives 256 mb cache 7200 RPM
$299.99 or $18.75/TB
WD Purple Pro 18 TB drives 512 MB Cach 7200 RPM
$440.00 or $24.44/TB
Seagate Skyhawk AI 12 TB drives 256 MB Cache 7200 RPM
$280.00 or $23.33/TB
All 3 drives are rated for 550TB/Yr I believe they are all 5 year warranties except the skyhawk AI is only a 3 year I do believe.
These are the cheapest "per TB" Drives I could find above 12 TBs that I would consider putting into a surveillance setup. So between those 3 which one would you be going with? Trying to find a reason not to go with the Exos Drives... but man... those are really well priced....
Thanks for any advice on this.
