FreeNAS is the ultimate backup solution for all your pictures and 'video' files.

I believe only WD made the move to use SMR on a few NAS labeled drives but after being outed, I believe all drives now at 8TB+ are CMR drives from all manufacturers

not bad, are these white label drives just like the 8TB Costco ones?

Bestbuy also has it for the same price:
