From my understanding you can't use more than 2TB in the Arlo Pro 2 base station anyway as it requires FAT32 formatting:

Apart from the obvious 10 vs 8 TB comparison, what are the main perceived differences between this and the IRONWOLF 8TB NAS 3.5IN 7200RPM 6Gb/S SATA?
Edit: found a good explanation here
The SkyHawk drives are designed to run all the time with the specifc workload of 90% of the time taking in streams (writes), the remaining 10% dedicated to playback (reads). link
While this is true, the end result is 90% marketing and 10% actual tangible difference.
For a home NAS either will be completely fine, both are specified for high utilisation which is the important part. In fact if you’re running a redundant array just throw any desktop crap in there, the actual difference in failure rate is miniscule.
Redundant array - eg. Raid 1?
Yes if you only have 2 drives then RAID 1. If you have access to many drives then go with RAID 6/10 so you can recover from multiple drive failures - there's more to it then this but you can Google them. RAID + good backups and you are pretty much set.
Can somebody explain how come a heavy 3.5" 500mb hdd 15+ years ago could run 24/7 in an (already then) old computer-turned-to-server under my bed, perhaps less than 90%, but still, and now we need to tell if we're buying a HDD for "casual" usage or "heavy duty"?
Is it more about marketing or have the "ordinary" disks got worse and it's actually about reliability?
edit: alright, @LoopyLou might have answered that right above.
As you and others have noted - marketing.
some drives are now software configured as "green" so parks head quick and spin down to save power, other don't and use more power but last longer as they don't park heads as often …..
Gaming hard disk.
$30 per 1GB would be about the sweet spot.
Like back in the late 90s?
DoH!!!! LOL, yeah I meant 1TB..
You mean 1tb yeah?
They just want to pay $300K for this 10TB drive.
Bargain!
Is this a good price to buy now? As im waiting for the arlo pro 2 as well?
