SeekerWD Blue 8TB HDD
The WD Blue HDD is an affordable entry-level HDD. It’s not as fast as 7200-RPM options but uses faster CMR tech than the SMR tech we see in competing 5400-RPM-class drives. The Blue has an industry-standard (but lackluster) two-year warranty and is an inexpensive way of installing more storage in your system.
