Question about WD Red

Hello all What I don't understand is why the hard drive with more cache is cheaper than the one with less. Can someone solve this riddle for me? Thank you!

Because this is the new version with SMR, see 'Important notes', and that's probably why demand has collapsed.
The one with the small cache is still the old, "good" one.
