I might be way out of touch, but just stumbled on this as a potentially interesting drive.<br>
<br>
Low-cost (<$300)<br>
8TB, 3.5"<br>
Claiming MTBF of 800K hrs (almost 100 years of 24/7 operation)<br>
Designed/specified for 24/7 use.<br>
Hot-plug.<br>
5W (idle), 7.5W (read)<br>
Available with on-drive encryption. (Wonder if that satisfies the encryption requirement of the legislation?)<br>
It's a slow-write drive, but that's no real biggie in this application.<br>
SATA. (OK, that's no so interesting)<br>
