12TB drives are high-capacity territory, almost always 3.5-inch hard drives for NAS, servers and bulk archives. At this size the price per terabyte is usually at its lowest, which is why 12TB and the 14-18TB band around it are the value sweet spot for mass storage. This table ranks every 12TB drive we track on Amazon.ca by live price per terabyte, so you can find the cheapest capacity per dollar.
