@ne1for23 @fozztexx "Lack of candor" and "#WesternDigital" goes hand in hand for me these days, not least after they slipped #SMR #ShingledMagneticRecording into their rotational HDD lineup and didn't tell their customers because they treated it as purely an internal implementation detail.

Well, it is, until it isn't - and then things break HORRIBLY.

At least #Seagate publishes info on which recording technology their respective model drives use, so you are able to make an informed decision.
