About this deal

a) HA-SMR and HM-SMR in ZFS: 2014, Tim Feldman of Seagate, http://open-zfs.org/w/images/2/2a/Host-Aware_SMR-Tim_Feldman.pdf Rounding out the figures, in our Workstation profile, the Gen3 placed a solid second, again to the Gen2. The Gen3 plateaued at 64 IOPS and had a minor decrease at 128 IOPS. Seagate’s 500GB SSHD Thin drive at 7mm is a wallet-friendly alternative for users seeking new technology that provides low-power consumption, serious performance gains over conventional HDDs when in cache, and overall solid value per gigabyte. Looking from the front you can see the standard SATA power and data interface, as well as admire the thin 7mm form-factor. This design allows it to fit in more systems, including ultrathin notebooks. n) HiSMRFs research file system for SMR: 2014, https://www.researchgate.net/public...rmance_file_system_for_shingled_storage_array

New technology such as HAMR (Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording, Seagate) or MAMR (Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording, WD) can be used with or without shingling. The first drives are expected in 2020, in either flavor.Cost-conscious consumers with bulk storage requirements need to rely on hard drives. On the portable front, HDD vendors have been using 2.5" drives in external bus-powered enclosures to serve the market. Seagate was the first vendor to put out a 5TB portable bus-powered drive, and Western Digital recently introduced a slew of 5TB models of their own. Similar to Seagate, Western Digital has also adopted SMR platters for their portable hard drives over the last couple of generations. Western Digital sent across a review sample of the 5TB My Passport Portable External Hard Drive recently. Introduction and Product Impressions WD platter sizes niche products: https://rml527.blogspot.com/2010/10/hdd-platter-database-western-digital-35.html Our last series of synthetic benchmarks compare the hard drives in a series of server mixed-workloads with a queue depth of ranging from 1 to 128. Each of our server profile tests has a strong preference towards read activity, ranging from 67% read with our database profile to 100% read in our web server profile. In all of our mixed workloads, the Seagate Gen3 performed exceptionally. For each test, it ranked either first or second along with the Seagate Gen2. Overall, the SSHDs performed significantly better than standard HDD’s. The Gen2’s slight performance advantage over the Gen3 comes from its 7,200 RPM spins compared to the Gen3’s 5,400 RPM (with Seagate’s standardization of laptop drives to 5,400 RPM). q) Toshiba presentation on SMR technology: 2015, https://www.toshiba.co.jp/tech/review/en/01_02/pdf/a08.pdf Though there are some key updates from the Gen2 Momentus XT, there are many similarities. Like the Momentus XT, the Seagate SSHD 500GB Gen3 interfaces over high-speed SATA 6GB/s. It also still comes with 8GB of NAND flash, which keeps the price low but, at 8GB, hinders the hybrid from even greater performance.

Seagate’s third generation SSHDs (solid state hybrid drives), now for both laptops and desktops, are marketed as a replacement for HDDs and serve as a good option for those otherwise considering an SSD. SSHDs aim to offer users the price-point and robust capacity of HDDs while also utilizing NAND flash to provide the performance attained with SSDs by caching critical applications. Slimmed from 9.5mm to 7mm, our review model third generation Seagate 500GB SSHD Thin with 8GB of MLC NAND would fit well in any user configuration and is especially well-suited for ultra-thin, ultra-light laptops.BarraCuda — Seagate's drive-reliability data simply speaks for itself, and the BarraCuda family is often recognised by leading publications and customers SMR allows vendors to offer higher capacity without the need to fundamentally change the underlying recording technology.

Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus Hard Drive Upgrade & Failures has caused me a number of headaches over the last year or so. Read on to hear the issues I’ve experience and how I’ve overcome them. For the average consumer, trying to translate random 4K write speeds into an everyday situation is pretty difficult. It helps when comparing drives in every setting possible, but it doesn’t exactly work out into faster everyday usage or better game loading times. For this reason we turned to our StorageMark 2010 traces, which include HTPC, Productivity, and Gaming traces to help readers find out how a drive might rank under their conditions. When it comes to measuring performance of the Seagate SSHD Thin the two categories of benchmarks that we commonly test all consumer HDDs and SSDs on show strengths in different areas. Our synthetic benchmarks are geared at showing the performance of the drive in an uncached “worst case” scenario, while our real-world traces allow the drive to cache data and better show how the drive would perform during repetitive day-to-day activities. Since the SSHD is really geared towards those workloads, we put more weight on than in this review than we would normally do for traditional HDDs or SSDs. What I wrote four years ago is still valid; large-capacity portable hard drives have reached a plateau. There’s not much hardware improvement that can be made as there is little to no incentive to invest in R&D. New technologies like HAMR or Helium are reserved for more lucrative markets like data centers where the need for smaller 2.5-inch hard disk drives is non-existent. PerformanceExperience — For more than 20 years, Seagate has manufactured and delivered the super-reliable BarraCuda family of drives

Seagate platter sizes 2.5": https://rml527.blogspot.com/2010/09/hdd-platter-database-seagate-25.html SMR has worse sustained write performance than CMR, which can cause severe issues during resilver or other write-intensive operations, up to and including failure of that resilver. It is often desirable to choose a CMR drive instead. This thread attempts to pull together known SMR drives, and the sources for that information. The first is our database profile, with a 67% read and 33% write workload mix primarily centered on 8K transfer sizes.For those looking for the highest volumetric capacity around without breaking the bank, you simply can’t go wrong with a 5TB portable drive. For 2MB random transfer, the Seagate Gen3 came out at 73.5MB/s and 86.6MB/s, placing second only behind the Seagate Gen2.
