No clue if the drives are CMR, SMR or whatever. They work for me. I keep redundant backups. I wouldn't trust these or any drives without at least one other backup of the data somewhere. All drives fail sooner or later.

SMR drives should be avoided if possible, but I have 2x 8TB Seagate SMRs that have been working great in a QNAP NAS for many, many years.
The "puritanical SD commenter effect" is always in full swing with any HD thread.
Buy the most disk space you can afford, and have redundancy locally and online for super critical data. 20TB is an absolutely absurd amount of space. I have 2000+ 1080p and 4k movies and hundreds of seasons of TV shows and hardly crack 10TB.
Relatedly, X265 and AV1 10-bit encoding done well is essentially magic. I have 7GB 4k HDR rips that are so close to the 40-60GB remux stuff I will eventually be converting everything once I see which codec will be more supported.
I'm watching on a 110-inch screen with a 4k laser projector and have to really obsess over small differences in especially dark scenes to notice.

I save almost every YouTube video that I watch. Or more accurately, I always download and save the YouTube videos that I want to watch. I only watch them after they've downloaded to my hard drive using JD2. The files are even bigger because I choose 2160p setting whenever possible in JD2. Sometimes they are 1TB to 2TB per week. (dont' necessarily watch them all, of course)

Do you keep in touch with your exs after marriage also?
while my ex-girlfriend/fiancee was still married to someone else, she did fly 2500 miles and visited me at my new house for about 2 months. my girlfriend at the time was in Europe on an extended business assignment. of course, we didn't do anything beyond what two college kids would do by themselves in a single house with nobody else around. we browsed Slickdeals and looked for hard drive deals. She left the day before my girlfriend returned from Europe.

once you get to the 12 bays you will have issues but they can be ignored . Synology loves their own branded hdds with firmware.
