I think the Red are SMR and the Red Plus are CMR.

It matters more for data being frequently written than it does for data at rest, so yes. For a very short explanation of the differences, see here: https://blag.nullteilerfrei.de/20...-a-hdd-mr/

Should I wait for a 7200 rpm drive or is this good enough?
If you want 10 degree higher temperature, then sure.

I meant from a speed perspective. Is this a major step down? I appreciate the assistance.

These are mostly meant for NAS situations which are usually bottlenecked by the network speed.

Are they slower than 7200rpm? Yeah for sure. I wouldn't recommend it as a regular use drive.

Thank you. It would seem then that there's really no good hard drive deals for 4 TB and 7200 RPM.

Probably because most people concerned about I/O speed these days are going for an SSD. There's just a tiny read/write difference between your average 5.4k and 7.2k RPM platter drives when comparing both to even a SATA SSD.

I wouldn't pay any significant price difference for a 7200RPM drive. Where it used to make sense, it just doesn't any more.

Thanks for the detailed response. It's very helpful. I use a 256 GB SSD for Windows and a few applications, and I have a 1 TB HDD that I save games on.

I want more space to save more games and also some gameplay that I want to record to use as video, so I wanted to get another HDD for that.

Would this [newegg.com]be a good choice in your opinion give what you've said about speeds? It's 5900 RPM.

This [amazon.com] page shows the full specs.

I used to be a WD fanboy but lately I switched to the Ironwolf Series. Not a complicated with their models, same warranty, excellent support.

Sorry WD. Go cheap, lose your customers.

The old reds were CMR, the new reds are smr. EFRX are CMR, EFAX are SMR. The new Red Plus are CMR.
