That's fair. Yeah that $225 deal was a good one and didn't last long. I saw that the $250 price was front page in April and March and thought there might still be some interest.
My research so far generally says HAMR is on 20+ GB drives, but I've seen comments that some Seagate drives go up to 24Gb without HAMR... that only raises the question of SMR?

I did just buy the 26TB Seagate external a few days ago, and got the package today. I'm getting between 216-235 MB/s speeds in actual use.
I might be interested in a couple of big hard drives for prime day. What are you guys thoughts, good sales on amazon for prime day, or "I'm not sure". Amazon is hit or miss for me for july prime days.

Can you help me to understand why HAMR drives are so bad. I just checked about these drives in google search, and they are suppose to be Seagate new tech to make drives get higher TB sizes (they discussed 50TB models coming out in 2026)...that can put higher TB sizes in drives and allow Seagate to make drives cheaper and cost less, they say under 10 dollars a TB.
Can you show LINKS why HAMR drives suck, and why you should stay away. Thanks
p.s. Please do not give me a thumbs up or down, you "bombers suck"... and I would love it if next to thumbs down ... it showed your nametag. So we all could see who these a-holes are.
most people don't give thumbs up or down for individual posts, but these "a-holes who give thumbs down ... do it without anyone seeing who they are. Why does Slickdeals continue to do this. I am all for giving thumbs up/down if next to their vote it showed who these scum-buckets are. When we post a comment on Slickdeals it SHOWS our nametag. . Again, 90 percent users don't give thumbs up or thumbs down for individual posts.
Community should came together. PLEASE show their nametags of the people that give thumbs up/down on individual posts.... thanks for reading this MODS.
... one other thing, on amazon or newegg or best buy members rate each product, it shows who liked it and didn't like it. But on Slickdeals it also should show who "liked the post" or didn't like the post. Also, people that give thumbs up nametag, ... could create "friends" with like minded people. And the Haters could hang out with other "haters".
... on amazon, you also get a chance to see "reviewers" other reviews, and it was EYE OPENING FOR ME. I saw some reviewers give 80 percent 1 star reviews ... on a product that has a 90 percent positive review profile. And looking at reviews of users giving positive product review, they had lots of other posts ... so could get a feel for the reviewer. Helpful to me.
