Seagate SMR identification methods

Obviously we can dig for model numbers on the web but are there any indicators in the system area (or elsewhere) on the drive that indicate if a Seagate is using SMR?

From drive family or look if MCMT is loaded in RAM when you load F3 utility.

Ctrl+L report should show you this information
for example
CheopsLiteM.1.0.SATA.Rosewood.Mule.Servo376.Rap30.AP1.4K + SMR
or
M15.JanusR2.SBP3.SATA.Servo376.Rap30RevA.4K + SMR Despo DFW BP3
or
EvansBP CMR BP08 SATA.NAS SV NoEWP JanusMC.R1.2.SBP3
