Does this mean anything for the Purple line that are specifically for surveillance applications?
My assumption would be that the Purple drives become the default for NAS usage as the surveillance use-case much more closely matches the requirements of a RAID rebuild (a fairly constant write-stream).
My anecdata sample size of 3 has WD Red drives priced very closely to equivalently sized WD Purple drives, with WD Black drives a significant percentage more expensive (40% +).
Does this mean WD Black drives are the last hold-out against SMR for WD brand?
