I was not aware that this was a smr drive
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Smr is a relatively new technology that utilizes write tracks that are wider than read tracks on a drive
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
In normal use this will not be an issue for most people but some people could have issues with write speed
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However if you use it in a raid configuration or as a boot drive you may in some circumstances see extreme degradation of write performance
