Based on my general new article reading, I thought everything above 6GB was using shingled storage which doesn't interest me so much. I'd be interested if you find out otherwise.

Are SSHDs any good?  MSY has Seagate 8TB SSHDs for only $309.  That's cheaper
than a 6TB disk using regular technology, suspiciously cheap.  I'm guessing
that they use something like Shingled recording to improve the storage:price
ratio and use the SSHD caching to allow decent performance without the OS
optimising write patterns for it.
