Do these drives have any unusual performance characteristics, like shingled magnetic recording (SMR) has?
No. I have five of the 28TB drives and they're fine.
No, not really. Definitely not on the level SMR drives do
I wonder about heat buildup during sustained writes.
If it's filled with helium, it might help a bit, as helium conducts heat better than air.
