Shuckable. Done a few. They are SMR. Fine for archiving but really slow for using for running any type of app or game.
Hard drives have a bathtub shaped failure curve ... lots of them fail in the first year or so, then they tend to work reliably for a few years, and then starting at about year 4 the failure rate starts to go up again. At the end of year 4, 20% of drives will have failed (this is based on data from BackBlaze). The moral of the story? All hard drives eventually fail. The differences in reliability between WD and Seagate are small enough that the typical consumer probably wont notice them. Use RAID 1, 5, or 6, DrivePool, or something similar and some form of cloud backup, at minimum.
I think these are usually Seagate Compute SMR drives. Fine for long term storage, but not ideal for usage in a NAS since they'll slow down and/or drop out during a RAID rebuild. For most general desktop work, they'll work fine and give the appearance of being fast due to cleaver caching and firmware.
