Exos X20z is a 20TB drive enabled by host-managed SMR (shingled
magneticrecording) to achieve the highest data density

Make sure it will work on your system before purchasing.

They are hybrid SMR, most people use these as CMR drives, but if you want some additional storage space you can enable SMR formatting. Never done this, so not sure how it works in practise

For the record, since sellers often change their prices, it's currently showing 1 for $140, 4 or more for $126.00/ea

That comes out to $7.00/TB if you buy in bulk.

shipping showing expensive at $40, or $90 when I did quantity 10.
