Hrmm how does a 5400 RPM drive have read/write speed of 6gb/s? I thought the gen 4 m.2 are 5gb/s
The interface is 6gb/s. Just look at benchmarks for what you need. Larger platter sizes allow you to have a lower rpm. I prefer 5400rpm vs 7200rpm, quite/less power. If I need over 180MBps speed, I'll put the data on a SSD. I use AMD storeMI for my gaming drive mixed with a NVME drive and couldn't be happier.

Gigabits aren't Gigabytes. Gb/s vs GB/s. SATA is 6Gb, and NVME gen 4 x4 is about 8GB/s, both interfaces won't be able to reach those speeds though because of overhead.
I bought a 2Tb barracuda from Newegg last month for $79 and received a dead HD. Returned it for a replacement but they were out of stock and only issued me a refund when the barracudas are now over $100. I'd say just be careful with their customer service.

Sounds like what almost every business would do in that situation.

The general consensus online:
xxxxxxDM00x = SMR
xxxxxxDM000x = PMR
That would indicate this is SMR.

What is the difference?
For those complaining its an SMR drive, these aren't THAT slow and if you are concerned about speed you should be buying solid state anyway.
I glad these things provide TBs for dirt cheep.
If you want another year of warranty get the IronWolf version for $50 more.
