WD Red 4TB drives are only around $70 new, and they're built for constant use in NAS devices.
Those would be the SMR drives, if you don’t want that you’re looking at about $84.
I see, I got a WD Red Plus for myself for around that price, and it looks like that's CMR. The base WD Red is SMR, though.
Yep! The Plus/Pro line is the good shit. The base models of WD drives are not great now, especially if you're going to set up a RAID array of some sort.
