I wouldn't use a purple drive, those are for security camera feeds.

I just punched in 12tb drive and that was the first one. I could drop in a 4gb scsi drive instead?

WD Red for data hoarding/NAS. People like Barracuda drives as well but I've had bad luck with Seagate reliability in the past.

Also, purples tend to cost more because they are rated for surveillance.

Aka 24/7 read writes of video files. Purples are fine for achieving just pop an SSD cache in your server

The purple drives work well for any write-heavy workload that's constantly writing to disk. Surveillance is just the primary use case.
