Why does that happen?
- jsjohnst 7y ago> Why does that happen? Because with DM-SMR drives there is usually a non-shingled area on the drive used as a buffer. Once the buffer is full, performance tanks dramatically as tracks are being rewritten. This is especially true in my experience when writing lots of smallish files vs several very large files.
