> 3.5" gives a lot more platter area. Pi-r-squared and all that. I couldn't find anything larger than 1TB CMR in a 2.5" package from anyone, and those were old stock. Seagate doesn't make *any* CMR 2.5" anymore, not even the 500GB ones. |

This sort of problem is why I went the direction of 1TB M.2 internally |
| 13 |
and a 16TB RAID1 TrueNAS file server externally. I don't think this |
| 14 |
would work for gamers but for me it's a nice enough solution where all |
| 15 |
the spinning rust is in another box. |
