Built a 60tb usable freenas box in the spring and I'm down to 24tb remaining. Before that I was running just fine for years on a 10tb usable array.

We have this exact drive connected to an Xbox One. Works just fine without issues. Has been connected for several years now.
A regular hard drive has it's data arranged like floor tiles, neat rows. If you update something, you just replace a tile to represent the update.
An SMR drive is for archive. It's data is arranged like roof tiles, they overlap so they can fit more data (or tiles) in the same physical space. If you update something, or in this analogy, replace a roof tile, you have to disturb it's neighbors. So this means there can be constant writing and rewriting if you use the hard drive for normal everyday usage. This will wear out the hard drive.
An SMR drive is meant to be for long term storage for data that doesn't need to be constantly updated. For example, a backup image of your system hard drive the day you got everything you need installed, photos, movies, basically, whatever can benefit from a 'read only' situation. It's also suggested to move data from an archive drive to a live, non smr hard drive, if you plan to manipulate it, like for editing, to preserve drive life. it would be annoying to catastrophic to lose 8tb of data.
