      Yeah, run away!

      Blue's aren't designed for RAID, so as long as you're not doing huge read/writes as stand alone drives. This shouldn't be much of an issue.

        Writing 4K remuxes (50GB+) would be huge writes for these SMRs right?

        It's 6 terabytes. Reading and writing large files to it would be an expected use case.

      It’s fine if this is home NAS/computer use.
      As long as this isn’t used in a context where you frequently need to write large amount of data all the time.

    Imagine possessing 6TB of porn

  • figlia on 27/05/2020 - 22:47

        Even if you do get 1 there will be a wait using them… SMR drives.

    Please don’t buy these SMR drives.

  • thedean on 27/05/2020 - 22:58

    SMR isn't that bad

    • CyberMurning on 27/05/2020 - 23:10

      Agree. I have WD green 3tb $179 bought in 2012 for my Nas, still going strong till now. Nas run 15 hours a day 365 days.

        People seem to think it's terrible for every use case. It sure is terrible for a hardware RAID, thats for sure.
        However, for archive, or a media drive, their low cost per TB makes them better than CMR. Those formats usually only have you writing a few times and then mostly reading, there is no read penalty on an SMR.

      • garetz on 28/05/2020 - 03:02

        You are just fortunate, most my greens died within 2-3 years.
        I still have a 1.5tb green going strong after 11 years though.

    Never buy shingled drives, go smaller and multiple drives if needed.
