No series-level recording rating is on file for this part number yet — check the exact model for CMR vs SMR before buying it as a large cold copy (SMR is the one trait that makes a 16 TB+ backup copy painfully slow). The 3-2-1 guide and the backup tools encyclopedia cover what to schedule it with.
Compatibility verdict
It appears on the official compatibility lists of 49 machines and series — 24 QNAP, 13 Asustor, 12 UGREEN. This is a Enterprise-class drive: rated for heavier sustained workloads than desktop drives.

No series-level recording rating is on file for this part number yet, so check CMR vs SMR on the exact model before buying for an array.
