[clug] Anyone using Seagate SMR dives [6GB & 8GB, 3.5" 'Archive']??

[steve jenkin]

MSY had Seagate 3.5” Archive drives listed when I looked at the Price List today [don’t often check].

Anyone got any Real World experience of them, including “Didn’t buy because I read the reviews”?
Can’t use in RAID arrays from the review I read.
