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
range, but the old drives are pre-SMR). I get the impression that
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.
