Got one. Pretty good deal if you just need a 4TB drive. I had personal bad experiences with seagate drives so WD is what I stick with.

It’s almost that you will get SMR drive. I would suggest you to cancel the order. WD is secretly selling their smr drive without telling users. Drop their product I would suggest.

I just bought this drive. CrystalDiskInfo shows that the internal drive is "WDC WD40EFRX-68N32N0", which is a red nas drive.
I believe it is without smr.
