Apparently, they don't sell any 2,5″ 7mm CMR drives with 1 TB+. Still weird and misleading that they call it "Black", obviously.

- Wowfunhappy 6y agoCurious, is this because they can't physically fit such a large CMR drive in that form factor? What's the actual capacity/size limit?
- kasabali 6y agoThere are 2TB 7mm SMR drives, so ~1.8TB CMR should be easily doable. I think there were 1TB 7mm CMR drives available as far as 5-6 years ago, although I'm not sure about the 7mm part.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoInteresting. Regarding 1.8 TB though, that's a weird size to put on a package, so I can see why they wouldn't do that.
- kasabali 6y agoSorry, I meant up to ~1.8TB. When that's possible 1TB is trival. Regarding your side point, there existed 320GB, 750GB and 1.5TB hard drives, so 1.5TB or even a 1.75TB would not be a weird size for a sku.
