So I had no idea about this, and was curious if this is why I've been having so many issues with 3x4TB Seagate drives in FreeNAS. Turns out all three are the SMR ST4000DM004 model, and I will be looking to replace these post-haste. My own fault using consumer drives!
If anyone is curious about said issues, it usually starts within 24 hours of booting the server. Eventually it will start throwing checksum errors on that array, even with as few as two disks in RAID1. Scrubs/resilvers generally have errors (10+ daily), and if your pool survives "too long," it will start kicking disks out of the array, and will not re-initialize them on a reboot.
