They suggest moving to Red Pros if performance is a concern, but it's not clear from the post if the Red Pros are also SMR-based platters. I have a couple of new ones (soon to be) integrated into a NAS. Anyone know if they are SMR or CMR?
Yep. Given this response, I have no desire to buy any Western Digital product—of any type, for any purpose—ever again. They knowingly sold a drive that would obviously be inadequate for its advertised use-case. Who knows what other false advertising they might also be doing.
