Careful, or you might end up with a shingled drive with radically worse write performance than you might expect.
- SECProto 6y agoNote that shingled drives are totally fine for many use cases. I bought this 14TB drive to act as a secondary backup for non-critical data, I expect it'll be a write-once-read-rarely kind of situation. Even if it is SMR, it'll be fine for me. Don't use large SMR drives as OS or software drives, or drives that do a lot of changes when you're above 50% fill capacity on the drive
