Yes, it will. Will it make any difference for you, depends of what are you doing. I would not use surveillance drive in to server, they are way too specific. Outside of that prices is pretty much same per TB/(Warranty Year) accross the board.

I done some excessive research couple of years back on the topic. you can find it here blog.holms.place/…/hdd-storage-cost-comparation-m…. I do not think situation have changed match since than. Price per TB/Year is nearly constant past 8GB size.

Also consider looking to re-certified drives, or even refurbished drives. you may save hips on them. But it depends on how much you value your data, how much redundancy in you storage pool and how good your backup strategy.
