Deal Details
One of the best choices for a good value high speed HDD (amongst hard drives).

Now at $45. ($8 less than at Newegg)

This is intended for storage needs beyond SSDs at a reasonable price but not be as slow as the lower spinning NAS drives. Not for NAS use. Best use case is a scratch disk for video processing, gaming data, video ripping for further decoding/encoding, etc in a desktop or workstation.

This is an SMR drive. Good only for data storage.

If by "data storage", you mean archival only? Wrong.

For a single user desktop use for the non-NAS applications mentioned in OP CMR/FMR makes no practical difference even with writes as large writes tend to be sequential in content handling (read/write). About the same performance as a WD Blue for writes and faster for reads. Nothing is comparable in this price range ($22.50/TB).

Very interested as I am looking to add simple storage on non-critical stuff. That said, how do you get the $45 price? I see $52.99. TIA
