    WD Purple disks are highly rated as storage for 24/7 surveillance..
    size depends on #cameras, bitrate, fps, resolution, days to store.

    WD has an online storage calulcator . i'm sure there are others.

    Yeah it seems to be either WD purple or Seagate Skyhawk. Normal WD are prone to failure but purple is decent.

    Depends on the quality, how many cameras and whether it's continuous or motion recording only. I have a 2TB Skyhawk in my NVR with 2 4MP cameras recording motion at maximum quality.

    They fill up quickly, a 4TB Skyhawk is just over €100.
