acropora Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178866 On sale for $270. Seems like a decent price but more than the $215 for the archive drive. Anyone know the difference other the the cache? I spoke to Seagate chat and he said this is an SMR drive. Link to comment
testdasi Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It might just be anecdotal but I have had some bad experiences with Seagate Desktop range. I think I read somewhere that it has like the lowest reliability rating or something - which is consistent with my personal experience - but then it might just be confirmation bias. Link to comment
