Best Shuckable CMR External 2.5 inch drive

#1
As the title says, I'm looking for a shuckable 2.5 inch drive. I'm not exactly spoilt for choice here, because my regional market only has some offerings from Seagate and WD, that's it.
So my requirements are
  • CMR
  • 2.5 inch form factor
  • Shuckable

With these requirements met, I'd like to go for the highest storage capacity option available.
I'm eyeing for this WDBHDW0050BBK-EESN (WD Elements 5 TB External HDD), but can't find out if it's SMR or CMR.

Also does anyone know if B01LQQH86A (WD 4 TB My Passport External HDD) is SMR or CMR? I couldn't find it in this giant list of CMR and SMR drives (nascompares.com/answer/list-of-wd-cmr-and-smr-hard-drives-hdd/).

Both of these drives are SMR drives.
But if you use it in a 1 or 2-bay NAS (RAID0/1) then it is OK to use them.
