4Tb seems to be the new sweet spot for pricing, but even the local PC 
Depot out here in Deepest Inaka has Toshiba, WD, and Seagate consumer 
grade and business grade HDDs in 2, 4, 6, and 8Tb size on their 
shelves.  Hitachi is advertising business grade, inert gas filled 12Tb 
as "available" out here.  Not as cheap as, say a trip into Aki to visit 
Tsukumo, but available NOW, and, as Dr. Turnbull will tell you, more 
with nowness has certain economic value that you can compare to a deeper 
discount combined with thenness.
