Thank you Patrick. The main benefit of SMR, and why the technology is used, is because these large customers demand higher data densities and lower cost per PB numbers, even if individual drive performance is not great. Second, the drive manufacturers are not telling the market they are or may be selling DMSMR drives. There’s a reason a SMR desktop drive has utterly rotten performance if used as a boot drive (remember WD Blacks are sold as performance drives, so are Barracudas), or if used to load up games containing loats and lots of files. 255ns 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2: They didn’t return to that price until 2018 and warranties still haven’t recovered 4us 0 0 0 0 494K 41.3K 1.72M 4.11M 8.39M 26 It seems like any cost saving is being eaten up by lost selling price. Like silicon, we’ve reached the point where it’s extremely hard to increase storage density without major compromises. The best solution would be for drive manufacturers to provide a way for the host to know it’s dealing with a DM-SMR drive, and for OS and NAS providers to write code that takes it into account. 31ns 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 The reputational risk of data loss or just fear that you might are greater than the enterprise in most small professional companies, If you haven’t watched the video you can just watch starting here https://youtu.be/gSionmmunMs?t=1328, That’s like how my dad used to tell me my friends and I were being dumb@$$es.

Seagate are – of course – Seagate… So far we know that the Barracuda, Barracuda compute (sold to us as “perfomance storage”) and storage drives are SMR but they’re staying quiet and are likely to do so until forced to open up. Please try again. They understand that SMR was designed primarily for high-capacity scenarios and work best with customized systems that can handle SMR. 4: In the case of REDs – they are MARKETED as RAID drives, so telling people that “We only mean some kinds of raid” when previous iterations worked perfectly is gaslighting This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Considering how unclear Seagate is with their datasheets and their somewhat unclear statements regarding what drives have undocumented SMR it makes it far more annoying at this point because I wouldn’t be surprised if they have more SMR drives which they haven’t listed as such. Would it be better to divide it into two separate pools?

Indeed, this particular model (ST2000DM008) is listed on Seagate's specs page as using SMR … Something drive manufacturers use to mitigate this is to have a cache of sorts with a more conventional recording area that can ingest writes for later migration to the slower SMR section during otherwise idle periods. 255ns 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 134ms 408K 890K 425K 1.11M 1.84K 0 32.1K 480K 80.0K 8 536ms 1.10M 2.13M 1.02M 3.04M 6.87K 0 58.3K 764K 104K 0 I prefer Toshiba and HGST (WD now unfortunately) over plain WD any day. LOL memories of 30 years ago. I am interested in higher capacity and higher density SSDs because the alternative is not having enough SATA connectors to hook it all up in a reasonable consumer-sized case. Those prices are a smidgen over 3 times the cost of a WD RED – but you get a 5 year warranty + power loss protection – which samsung’s (more expensive) 860QVO can’t match.

It seems like the ill will has to be costing them much more. He then dug in and found the Toshiba stuff (I thought Tosh were more ethical than that). When one looks at where Western Digital is selling its previously undisclosed SMR drives, it is in the low-capacity space. This is a shucked external drive falsely advertised and the label change to show it as being an internal drive when in fact it's not. Saving $1 per drive adds up when you are selling tens of millions of drives per quarter. To many, a $60 premium to move from a 1TB hard drive to a 1TB SSD is offset by better performance and reliability. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. Your question might be answered by sellers, manufacturers, or customers who bought this product. I’ve had a problem with a 4TB 2.5″ (15mm height) which looks so good on paper but resilvering to it takes inordinate amounts of time. I think SMR vs CMR should be required on the spec sheet just like how cameras basically need to list sensor size. Please make sure that you are posting in the form of a question. Here, the case is not performance nor reliability. Effectively, buyers in the 2TB to 6TB market are often ones who do not know about SMR v. CMR or have no other choice. A fairly standard line for dealing with PR issues like this is something along the lines of: Usually, that message is delivered by an executive to put a face behind the pledge to do better. I hope WD receives some very stiff fines for their actions at the least, or maybe worse YJMV (Your Jurisdiction May Vary). Changing a previously working device’s internals for something that works “similarly for a few seconds”, then suffers severe degradation – 90-98% on raid rebuilds and 40-60% when treated just right, whilst keeping packaging and marketing identical, is the kind of thing that brings authorities down on a company like a ton of bricks. 63ns 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 There are effectively two types of consumers here. SMR technology has been around for years. That chart they’re using is straight from a drive manufacturer showing SMR’s performance freefall on sustained RWs. Low capacity also means a lower dollar per drive metric. I see people shucking externals, without realizing that they are NOT drives meant for RAID duty and are cold storage drives – write lightly and then put somewhere safe. We now know these are down to the desktop drives in the linux desktop computers we were using as NFS cache units…. 10TB Western Digital WD100EMAZ Hard Drive SATA 6Gb/s 256MB. No vendor wanted to disclose the switch to SMR at low capacities because they had spent years educating the market that SMR was for a different segment. JimDeLaHunt June 1, 2020, 3:46am #10. marcolopes: 60EFAX are SMR! Not only is WD using SMR in their consumer drives where buyers may have no reasonable alternatives, but they are also going a step further. 5: These are sold as home/soho devices – so this kind of thing falls under Consumer Protection laws. It’s been under discussion for at least 5 years but one of the problems is that DM-SMR drives seldom admit that they are SMR drives (they’re supposed to return a “zoned media” response. ————————————————————————————————————————, # zpool iostat -Td -w scsi-SATA_ST4000VN008-2DR1_ZGY6SM46 So if I have describe a target SSD that is larger, so be it.

In my April 16 post, I reported what WD support told me, and I said, “I don’t entirely believe it”. Sounds to me like the head loses the track and tries to relocate itself. If the drive companies provide CMR drives in this storage range, it will cost more. The “MR” or magnetic recording label tells us that this is the low-level technology that is used to encode bits onto a spinning disk for data storage. One can always buy a bigger drive.

All of those companies do, indeed, disclose the use of SMR technology openly for their higher-end customers. While the industry recognizes its use as a tool, especially with larger storage pools, they also undertook, as an industry, a campaign to educate the market that SMR was not for most buyers. If you have never traveled and spent time seeing this dynamic first-hand, it is actually difficult to empathize with. Just wait until the Easystores have an extra level of lottery to the drive inside. Called tech support, the 1st agent did not know what PMR or SMR are. Fortunately those drives have been relegated to rarely & barely used “cold storage” RAID systems. This article has fewer amazing high-end hardware photos than our normal review content.

The 2TB to 6TB market is not for buyers like STH, or even me personally. Really interesting article, shame i didn’t see it when it came out, right when i bought a 4tb wd red, not to save money but because it was the right capacity for my expected usage (should be many years before it gets even 50% full). As a result, host-managed SMR are generally used in storage systems from big vendors and hyper-scale customers where this logic can be built into the entire storage paradigm at scale. However, this does leave the people in the 2TB to 6TB range with a problem, namely cost.

Despite being a good thing that we now know at least some of the drives with undocumented SMR, I’ve been tracking a Swiss retailer’s prices for HDDs and even just between last week and this week they increased the price on all Ironwolf/Ironwolf Pro drives by about 10 CHF ($10) while the SMR drives stayed at the same price.

Having a backup of that data is important whether it is in a PC, NAS, or the cloud. That means some of these pieces have more latency. want to sell product and advertise their safety/reliability they need to be honest about what they are really selling. The more I see SSD makers evolve new potentially unstable, unreliable, and/or low-lifetime tech so they can cram more TB into the same 2.5 inch form factor, the more I cringe at the thought of the massive amounts of data loss in a medium once known for high reliability. 4s 61.1K 17 93 12 0 0 0 5 61.0K 0 One very strange note on this one is that it is authored “by Western Digital.” That is a bit surprising as that kind of customer care statement would normally have an executive sponsor attached. WD stated its position, effectively saying it uses an annual workload metric, and that it does not need to disclose what technology is in its drives. These are customers who lack other options or purchasing power and the hard drive manufacturers are treating them worse because of it. These same NAS drives are likely to be used in RAID arrays that could see specific problems with SMR access patterns. Having looked at what drives use SMR, I suspect WD/Seagate/Toshiba will take advantage of this situation to justify stopping manufacturing of lower-capacity drives because SSDs are gradually taking over those segments and the low-capacity drives can’t compete on price much because there’s a base cost for components like a 3.5″ shell, the controller, the head and motor. In other words, where HDD makers are now finding themselves. Please try your search again later. See this site under "Achtung" (translated): This hard drive has contradicting information on the recording process. This data comes from user reports. Indeed, when the first reports were coming out, we had just finished buying Western Digital drives for, and starting a series comparing clustered versus traditional RAID storage for higher-end home and SMB setups. Thanks for the reporting. It sounds like I have described a consumer-grade SSD (lower TBW) based on Enterprise tech; so be it. A big reason the storage market is littered with failed startups is just how long it takes to garner that trust because data is important, and it is vital. Most of my failed SSDs come from poor firmware that has no updates or vendors that do not make those updates widely known or easily obtained. Micron’s 5100ECO/5100MAX/5300 enterprise SATA lines start at double those figures, but they’re Nearline drives and will take on CMR workloads. 127ns 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 We have a video version on YouTube if you prefer to listen instead. The main selling point to me was the fact these were labeled as INTERNAL, I have an old power supply on the machine I wanted to put them in, so when the only way the 2 drives I purchased would read and work is I had to tape the 3.3v pin. In the past the 2TB to 6TB market would get drives riding down the cost curve, now that’s no longer possible. HDD manufacturers or incentivized to make a lot of drives as cheaply as possible. Do the WD100EMAZ 10TB shucks described in your article “Building a TrueNAS Core 8-bay mATX ZFS NAS” employ SMR techniques?

I felt betrayed and personally ashamed when I figured that out when peeking IO performance with iotop with a client breathing down my neck. etc.).
