There is some concern they are moving to air over helium.

Almost definitely CMR/PMR. See https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/e28rw9
The simple answer is WD have basically no SMRs in externals (3.5") as far as anyone has ever found. They do have SMRs in portables (2.5") e.g. WD My Passport 5TB DAS Review: Compact and Consistent Capacity Champ Gets SMR Right but that's about it. It's possible their 18-20TB SMR drives will eventually show up in externals so maybe take some care with those.

So not the best prices BB has offered.

Indeed . And $199 for 14TB in December 2019. That's $14.21/TB . I believe that is the best price seen so far.

The current sale on the 10/12 TB Easystore is over now. I passed. My last purchase was 6 x 10 TB for $159 in December 2018 / January 2019 .

I wonder when WD is going to start shipping 16TB EasyStore drives.
