Apples and oranges. TGMR (tunneling giant magnetoresistive) was used in Barracuda 7200.8 PATA back in 2006, for example.

Unfortunately the internet rumor ST8000DM004-2CX188 is smr is not true. Seagate official publication clearly says TGMR technology, no where mention SMR. I have no clue how TGMR is different from SMR...

Hopefully I can be the datapoint you need then. I've bought four of the Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8TB drives, all from staples (3 online, 1 in my local store).

You're still adding overhead going over USB 3, and performance can depend on the SATA -> USB controller, along with UASP support.

Their 5TB's are SMR, and the 8TB Archive Drives were but those were clearly AS vs DM series.

$ 100, good.
Staples, no so much.
Seagate, No ways.
I hold on my wallet tight and run away. I don't have any "Bad Data" to lose abruptly.

I wouldn't use any hard drive that has 1 year warranty; I would even skip 2 year warranty depending on usage.

I don't believe these are SMR. The Expansion drives are normally Barracudas, it's the Backup drives that are SMR.
As for relibility, WD is currently the worst rated.
