Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2-8P and new Western Digital 8tb 7200 RPM with 256mb cache

Hi

Checking if anyone has installed the new Western Digital 8tb with 7200RPM and the Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-I2-8P and any issues?

Thanks in advance

Is that HD even speced for use in an NVR?

I am not sure if it is compatible and will work?
Is the maximum a 6tb that can be installed on the DS-7608NI-I2-8P
I am new - any help appreciated before I purchase a HD

We recommend Western Digital Purple Surveillance HDDs and these are available in sizes from 1-10TB, the limits that you see on datasheets are based on the maximum size that was available when the datasheet was first published but all the NVRs will support the largest sizes currently available so there shouldn't be any issue running an 8TB drive in a 7608NI-I2/8P.
