How to check SMR vs PMR before buying disks?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



What's the biggest PMR disk I can buy, and how do I tell if a disk is PMR?

I'm well aware that I shouldn't use SMR disks:
http://ceph.com/planet/do-not-use-smr-disks-with-ceph/

But newegg and the like don't seem to advertise SMR vs PMR and I can't
even find it on manufacturer's websites (at least not from Seagate).

Is there any way to tell? Is there a rule of thumb, such "as 4T+ is
probably SMR" or "enterprise usually means PMR"?

Thanks
