Thanks, that worked for me.
When I tried their chat earlier, they told me to use a different browser (didn't help) or call the order in. Not very effective chat help.

Got the EFAX ones as well and it’s going back. A lot of grinding noise from the drives. Shady practices by B&H. Never expected them to be this bad.

Depends on which one you choose in the list of available drives at B&H.
less than 8TB and 256mb cache = SMR.
