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
