Most likely a green version. Just remove the shell.
April 24, 201511 yr The link shows the drive at $139, so must need a coupon from email... Read the thread mentioned above. Some have had trouble with these drives. I have good luck with them. But certainly test on USB3 prior to voiding warranty.
April 27, 201511 yr FWIW - There is strong evidence that Seagate's external 5tb drives are SMR. Seagate does not offer a internal 5tb "desktop" drive, but they do offer an 5tb SMR archive drive. Based on tests done by other users here on the forums, it sounds like that doesn't really matter for use with unraid.
