Maybe they refreshed their 2-6TB line recently and not the 8-14TB and it'll come later?
Maybe the market for 8-14TB is different enough that it warrants CMS? For instance maybe the 2-6TB is for hobbyists/small companies who might not realize the drives behave differently while the larger and more expensive drives are more often use in large companies with dedicated IT who would realize something is off?
Given that TFA mainly mentions 2-6TB several times I doubt they got it wrong.
- disiplus 7y agomaybe the testing showed that the 8-14 would fail in rebuild but the 2-6 where small enough that would pass. or that the 8-14 where used in "serious business" where you could not fake your way around and the smaller ones for consumers or smaller firms would not notice or could not cause bigger harm.
