Here you chumps go
Seagate bringing back barracuda SMR drives
probably using some sort of HAMR tech
not CMR!
today's drive packaging makes them look and feel much more robust than they really are. In days of old, you'd worried that your HHD isn't sitting on level surface or you move it while it's on. Imagine a little head just micron above a hard spinning surface, too much vibration and you get a head crash. Now, imagine multiple heads on these surfaces (platters).
Oh heck, I've even moved my 2.5" external drives while thy are running (although 2.5" are more robust in this regard than 3.5").

Let's see a pic from you. I believe that's what you offered.
Bought some used seagate drives off ebay that were taken out of data centers at year 4 for my ugreen NAS. Running for 5 months with no problems.
Someone with real world experience about seagate Exos.
I run two unraid servers , and 2 true nas core servers over 1 PiB and Seagate Enterprise Sata drives are CMR which are highly reputable.
This Best buy external will most likely come with a 20TB SMR Barracuda.
Not worth 240.00! Get the 24TB it is a EXOs CMR enterprise rated drive

2. Your reddit link does not offer any significant information and does not come from the drive that you claim to have purchased which you stated was SMR.

Smr would have lots of stalls after almost full. But we don't hear... my drives stop working comment.
