netsurfer replied to  TrevBargn on Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS (ST8000VN0022) $297.60 Delivered @ Futu_Online on eBay
This one doesn't use SMR. Generally, a HDD for NAS means it is not SMR. 7200rpm drives generally won't use SMR since SMR is cost saving and...

For archiving, SMR drives are fine. As a portable hard drive with frequent writes, this is not ideal. The drive's write speed drops once...

Not targeted - totally fine with it. Had one two weeks ago, didn't use it. Couldn't find any bargain on feeBay and currently low on cash.

Even if they want to, can they really fulfil OZB demand? Bought one... would be interested to see what happens.

You don't have to wall mount it. It is short throw not throw down mandatory.

Nope, from user reviews, this one does 4K@30Hz max (and that implies no 4K HDR either). You cannot expect 4K@60Hz at this price yet...
