Seagate ST8000DM004

Over the course of about a year, I bought and shucked three 8TB Seagate portable hard drives. The models I picked up were STGY8000400 and STEB8000100 for approximately $160 CAD each. All of which contained the same identical 3.5" 8TB Seagate Barracuda model ST8000DM004. Interestingly, just the ST8000DM004 by itself costs about $200 CAD.

These are SMR drives but I've been using it in a ZFS pool without any issue.

Here is the smart output from the drive.
