It would be enough if there was a way to disable device managed mode.
Then the drive would still work on legacy machines, but if the host supports it, it could perform better.

Sadly, device-managed drives exists because drive manufacturers want to both achieve cost-cutting and increased profits (and was relatively unknown until the whole WD Red (and companions) DMSMR brouhaha last year forced every hard disk manufacturer to state if the drive is DMSMR or not).
- scottlamb 6y agoDo you have an example model available for purchase by individuals?
- zinekeller 6y agoSorry for this late reply but as I knew it it is exclusively an enterprise product (I know, it should be available also to prosumers).
