  I’m guessing these drives are all SMR now?

    probably also unshuckable, with usb port built into the drive making it if the port fails you're screwed

      yea all wd drive would lack the sata port now, it makes it unreliable.

        So according to that, pretty much all WD USB drives since 2016 are SMR. Good to know, thanks!

          @regan89: Got a WD External from 2012 has a usb port on the actual drive. Large externals still have sata interfaces

            @[Deactivated]: I think its 10 or 12 TB+ drives that have Sata still.
            Anything below on WD is USB

              @Huntakillaz: On portable yes i still think any large externally powered ones have sata but of course i could be wrong i got a 8tb last year and it was sata
