>seagate is selling that crap 8T video drive
Slightly off-topic but could you go into some detail on what you think the drawbacks are for the Seagate 8TB SMR drive? I've been thinking about getting a few for large files while keeping them online-accessible, I've found it difficult to get the thoughts of grizzled IT folks on the matter :-)
- beagle3 11y agoI would like that info as well. I couldn't find any reliable data, but I did find a lot of reviews that said the 8TB drives tend to die within a few months; I'm holding on to the 6TBs for now.
