Seagate have said the Iromwolf range will remain CMR. BarraCuda is now |

all SMR (renamed from Barracuda, presumably to say it's still the budget |

FireCuda are the "budget CMR" range, but don't quote me on that. |

AS WD found out when loads of "marketed for NAS" WD Reds got returned |

"not fit for purpose" when people put them in NASs. |
