Every listing we track at this size - 1 product page, including ones with no current offer. Out-of-stock pages carry specs and in-stock alternatives, never a stale price.
One 30TB SATA hard drive, in decimal units (1TB = 1,000GB), before file-system and RAID overhead. Each line is a division you can redo; the per-file sizes are our assumptions and say so.
Security cameras, recording continuously: 868 camera-days - 8 cameras for 108 days. The arithmetic: 3.2 Mbps ÷ 8 = 0.4 MB/s × 86,400 s = 34.56 GB per camera-day; 30,000 GB ÷ 34.56 = 868 camera-days. The bitrate is WD's reference figure for one stream (single stream, 1080p, h.265, 25fps), from WD Purple / WD Purple Pro data sheets (footnote 3); the 8-camera count is our example. A camera set to a higher bitrate fills the drive proportionally faster.
22TB+ capacity is enabled by HAMR (Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording) on Seagate Exos and conventional PMR on WD Ultrastar. Both are production-qualified for hyperscale.
These drives are designed for cloud service provider deployments. Minimum order quantities may apply for the best pricing on 30TB+ models.
Highest-capacity drives (30TB+) may have extended lead times. Check stock status carefully - out-of-stock listings can take weeks to fulfill.
A single 2U 12-bay server with 24TB drives = 288TB raw. Plan your density target and compare against multiple smaller drives for redundancy.

None of the 0 tracked listings has a manufacturer-sourced recording value yet, so this page states none - an unsourced drive is never assumed CMR.
