If you use them as JBOD, they should be perfectly stable, just a little slower at writing than at reading. But as said by sibling, not stable in a RAID.

- AmVess 6y agoI have a big pile of them in JBOD for use as storage only and they are fine. Most of mine are SMR and I wouldn't have known so until I looked them up.
- marcan_42 6y agoSMR isn't "a little slower" depending on your workload, but massively slower (RAID rebuilds are just one example). Do not buy SMR if you have any kind of write-heavy workload, or if you rely on consistent performance (e.g. any kind of streaming / latency sensitive usage).
