Why did they make an enterprise grade drive SMR? I’m out.
-
Because they simply cannot do it otherwise.

That’s fine…they don’t need to release it under their Exos line of enterprise drives. SMR don’t do well in raid arrays especially not highly utilized ones. They require idle time to cleanup and the rebuild times are horrendous.

SMR is designed for enterprise raid that is SMR-aware.
I'm not aware of any open-source zoned storage raid but I think Ceph is planning to add support next month.

There are a number of enterprise storage systems optimized specifically for SMR drives. This is targeting actual data centers, not us humble homelabbers masquerading as enterprises.

For affordable set it and forget it cold storage, this is incredible. For anything actively being touched, yeah definitely a pass.
