WD RED EFRX / EFAX

[riktam]

I have a out of warranty 6tb WD red EFRX that I need to replace and I'm having trouble finding the same model.
Does anyone has experience with the new WD red EFAX? do they have the same performance ? (It looks like they might be SMR drives)
What would you recommend as a replacement disk? I could consider a 8TB drive too.
BTW does anyone knows what iXSystems is shipping with the freenas mini these days?

Thanks!

WD60EFAX is SMR and should be avoided for FreeNAS.
