Can harddrive buffs chime in with some thoughts on quality/reliability compared to other standard desktop external drives? For example AU$226.93 Western Digital (https://www.amazon.com.au/Elements-Desktop-Hard-Drive-WDBWLG…). Would these more likely be SMRs compared to Western Digital?

Install the HFS+ driver for PC and you can use the drive interchangeably between Windows and Mac computers without reformatting

  IIRC these drives are SMR, looked down on for a number of reasons. Not sure if it's just the ones labelled Archive though, if someone knows better?

    Thank you. …will stick with the Western Digital Elements then. Someone else was saying WD Elements 8TB drives are sometimes helium drives.

    Really enticing $/TB metric though.

      One issue with these is if there's a problem they'll likely ask you to ship it back to the US. Too hard for me.

      For HDD's i always buy local for this reason, and preferably from OW so i can just take it back physically and get another one.

  Yeah these have got the "shingles" well most of them anyway. Always a good probability with the Seagate 8TB desktop drives. Put the lowest spec in these models.
