Some Toshiba drives have un-disclosed SMR:

There's an order or two of magnitude less data and benchmarks on the Toshiba drives, but I just bought Toshiba 6x6TBs for a NAS build because I couldn't stomach buying WD or Seagate (or HGST which is just WD now).
EDIT: Forgot to say, the drives have been great. It's only been 6 months or so, but they've been performant, no bad sectors yet.
