I see them all over selling for $350.

I see this article saying to beware of 28TB Seagates refurbs that will flood the market. But this article says SMR drives and these claim to be CMR.

Also curious if these use HAMR which if it is the case would be pretty concerning as it’s a new tech that to me as a layman doesn’t sound good at all for reliability, but what do I know.

I was considering buying 2 of these but would like to know more about them if anyone knows anything.
