Don't hold your breath. I doubt that they'll be available in the retail channel before next year.
Looks like more of Seagate's SMR technology, which means good SLOOOW. Good enough for data archiving. And music, I suppose.
For reliability's sake, I think I'd stick to drives at far less than the industry's maximum capacity. You'll note that there are no 6TB enterprise drives available yet. The technology is a little too new. Stick to 4TB drives for now.
