I just hope this 10TB drive isn't a SMR. I googled around and the best
I could find is anything above 8TB is CMR. It's a WD101EDBZ-11B1DA0. I
hope that is right. I'm not totally opposed to SMR even as a backup but
I'd rather not. The deal I found was for a pull and costs about $110
including shipping. I looked at a 14TB but my jaw dropped. $$$$$$$$
Just done a search for you (it helps I know what I'm looking for), but
CMR it is ...

I tend to go for OEM stuff, and know the names of the range I'm looking
for - Seagate Ironwolf, Toshiba N300 - about £170 for 8TB ...
