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.
Not a great drive for any thing other than archive uses.. many writes to the drive is bad.. many reads not so bad...
There was a deal at staples for the same type of external case with a 10tb conventional HD for $165 after coupons that was the best deal on this style of drive about a month ago.. It might come back in a week or two..
