Aussie bargain specials|WD 10TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive $304.56 + Delivery
While certainly not the lowest (previously $268.42) it is still cheaper than the Amazon AU price for a 10tb which is ($329.91). White labelled drive and might be filled with Helium or Air1 and won't be a Red inside, not SMR. May require tape mod.
What's SMR? Refer to smashman42 explanation here
For those putting it into a PC you may need to tape over the 3.3V pin (refer to https://imgur.com/a/BFdmB).
