Green
The Seagate, WD, and WD Ultrastar (formerly HGST) drives are enterprise-class, high-reliability, (typically) helium-filled drives, which use less power while providing more data storage space. Choosing these drives make eRacks/NAS8 a truly a greener solution.
Archival
The Seagate (or WD/HGST) Archive SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording, as opposed to PMR or CMR) drives are for archival applications which have a typical usage profile of writing mostly new data (or journal-style data - "At the end"), rather than re-writing existing data - hence the choice of these drives are more well-suited for Archival applications, or Near-Line Storage or Cold Storage.
