I can't see any information about when they started doing this? The Red drives have been available for a long time, have they always been SMR or did WD switch them out at some point?
- Silhouette 6y agoThey switched them, quietly, but only for some products at some sizes. A subtle change in the model numbers is the only clue when you're ordering. There was a lot of press coverage of this a few weeks ago when the story first broke, including here on HN. It looks like the lawsuit reported here is the first formal legal action in response.

- Springtime 6y agoI first saw mention of this back in September last year in Reddit discussions. Any suffixed with 'FAX' were the superseded line of the Reds.
