I was reading this post commenting on the differences between SMR and CRM disks.

Basically, suggesting that SMR are seriously under classic CRM. But this happened to be like 4 years ago, so I wondered if Seagate has been able to figure out something to improve this for their disk, which is unlikely, but just wondering
I saw today in my brick and mortar store, a Barracuda Compute 8 TB at $130 and a Barracuda Ironwolf at $190 w/ 8 TB also, so $60 difference for the same storage, not sure if its worth but feels that knowing all the issues attached with SMR (specially for a NAS where it's going to be used these disks), doesn't seem to be a good decision.
So I wanted to know your opinion.
