Question about WD Red Plus

Due to the SMR CMR issue at WD, I am wondering what I can go to in order to get a CMR drive? I am unsure if I can go to the specifications in the article. 4Tb would be enough for me. Is there any way to tell which are SMR and which are CMR? I would like to replace my 2tb with larger ones as I have run out of storage.

Helpful answer
The Red Plus series was introduced by WD purely because of the CMR/SMR confusion. All Red Plus are CMR. https://www.heise.de/news...

If you want to avoid the WD mess altogether, use Seagtae IronWolf disks.
