WD RED+, 6TB: i don't get it. what is the difference between the WD red+ and the WD red? both seem to have very similar features but red+ has much less cache available (64mb vs 256mb) so what is the point to spend the extra money?

They use different recording methods (CMR & SMR).
SMR is best use for just storing data.
CMR is better when it comes to "normal" usage, which means a lot of reading and writing from and to the HD.
