The 6TB is SMR in case that matters to anyone.

Quote from VinnyB5264 :
What are SMR and CMR?
Hard drives, traditionally, see increased capacity by two methods when Conventional Magnetic Recording or CMR is employed. Either the number of platters is increased or the write density is multiplied.

SMR drive or Shingled Magnetic Recording is a technique that significantly differs from CMR. In SMR, data is written by partially overlapping the existing tracks where data is already present. The use of the word 'Shingled' is an analogy to the overlapped tiles used in the roofing of houses. SMR, therefore, achieves more data capacity without adding more platters or increasing data density by stacking tracks on top of each other.

Technically speaking, SMR drives are inferior to CMR drives in most performance metrics and risk of data corruption.
