Oh, the things I don't know. I had to look up CMR. (It's like "organic
farming"- we used to just call it "farming".)

Branding is tricky. I thought that "Barracuda" was a premium brand,
but apparently that no longer applies. The good stuff is now "Barracuda
Pro".

"Barracuda Pro" is all CMR, up to 10TB and above.
Plain "Barracuda" is SMR (shingled recording) from 2TB and up,
i.e. it is now a "consumer" brand.
