Too expensive for SMR trash.

Is the "game drive" model SMR?

How much do the 5TB CMRs go for?

Does USB 3.2 really mean anything if the HDD can't write faster than 100 MB/s anyway?

Last decent 5TB deal was for about $80 from Newegg for a P10 Game drive WD Black. Looking for another.

Do any of these not go to sleep? It seems when I use these, whenever I do some file activities, Windows will pause while it spins up so it's ready, even if what I'm doing is only relevant to my internal SSDs: super annoying.

Can you control that in Windows power settings?

There's no other alternative at this pricepoint and this has a large enough cache that it performs like a CMR.

They rebranded USB again. Now USB 3.0 is just called USB 3.2 gen 1, and USB 3.1 is no more. There's also USB 3.2 gen 2 and USB 3.2 gen 2x2 (5, 10, and 20gbps respectively).

USB 3.2 gen 1 and USB 3.2 gen 2 (5 and 10 gbps respectively) can be done on USB A, but anything higher requires USB C (usb 3.2 gen 2x2 and usb 4; 20gbps and 40gbps respectively).
