Hi, I was wondering what cost advantage do SMR drive provide as compared to normal CMR drive? 8TB SMR drive - $ 260 3TB CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording drive) - $ 105 Is the 8TB SMR drive that you mentioned in another post on this mailing list host or drive managed? I was curious to know why freeBSD community /others should invest into supporting SMR drive? Is the price predicted to go down further in the future? Is there any other advantage that SMR drive provide that CMR drives dont? Thanks!
