The notable quote:

> That 9 day and almost 14-hour rebuild means that using the WD Red 4TB SMR drive inadvertently in an array would lead to your data being vulnerable for around 9 days longer than the WD Red 4TB CMR drive or Seagate IronWolf.

The other 4TB drives they compared against completed in around 15 hours, meaning the SMR drive could potentially take 14x longer to rebuild a RAID.
