This is listed as a Best Buy Deal of the Day so price may only be good for August 27, 2021.
For those who prefer Seagate, Costco has their 5TB portable drives at a very similar price right now.

And not Green Bay vs. Tampa Bay.
Seagate has the 6TB expansion drives for a little more.

This 2.5" HDD is 15mm thick!
To get non-SMR gotta look for drives at 2Gb, or just plan your usage and split it properly between large SMR and smaller non-SMR drives.
Bought it on sale for about the same price.
Thinking about buying another as a backup drive...
User here also say NOT.

The issue I have is that it seems to wake often, for no apparent reason. I don't know whether that is due to some internal process or if it's being woken by the instant-on-mode Xbox it's connected to.
"The badblocks -wvs command will run four wipes on the drive, writing the patterns 0xaa, 0x55, 0xff, and 0x00 across the entire disk, respectively. It also performs a read test after each full write."
Update: I just tried to use a drive after such a shake down to clone another one, and it hung because it ran out of non-SMR cache. I had to use WD Windows utility to fully "erase" the drive (which only took 1 min!!!). These drives are known as "write-once" things, and have to be WD utility "erased" to get the full performance back.
