From the article:
UPDATE 5/17, 6 PM: Western Digital has confirmed that the new 2.5-inch T GB HDDs uses 6 SMR platters
SMR = shingled magnetic recording https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording - “continuous writing of large amount of data is noticeably slower than with CMR drives”
