Shucked it; can't return now.. Broke too many pins. lol....
Have you tried EXT4 noatime or BTRFS on SMR drives? I've never used ZFS which supposedly to guard against bit rot.

Seems just meh, for a basic 8TB storage, especially if it's SMR like one person said. Certainly not FP worthy. For WB white label 8TB it'd be a better deal.
