A black drive doesn't have shingles. A blue 3.5" may be shingled for 2+TB

One of that charts I saw said that above 6TB, everything from WD is CMR, so
I'd guess there isn't much of a problem. Who buys the small drives these
days? My last purchase was a pair of 12's, and I'm starting to look at the
next purchase. The 12's and 14's are looking good. The 16's are still going
for a premium price. You'd have to wait for the 20's to come out, in order
to push the 16's down a bit.
