What Irek said.

Also, SMR in general is probably a bad match for Ceph.
Drives like that really want to be treated more like a tape than anything
else.
 

In general, do you really need all this space, what's your use case?

Unless it's something like a backup/archive cluster or pool with little to
none concurrent R/W access, you're likely to run out of IOPS (again) long
before filling these monsters up.
