Im looking to buy an 8TB HDD to store clutter, some game recordings and some movies.

I dont plan to move files around a lot, just plan on adding stuff to the pile.

The drive will go in my daily use Desktop.

Im not sure how much SMR with the Barracuda will impact performance if i for some reason do have to move some stuff around.

The Barrracuda is 125e, the Iron wolf is 190e.

I cant tell if the upcharge is worth it for me, when i dont want to put the drive in a NAS.
