The original problem had already been solved (I was reading up on old mail |
14 |
from the Christmas week, go figure). |

Same for my 6 TB Reds in the NAS. But 1200 is a rather big increase. Did you |
28 |
ever try this? Almost double for only one third more capacity. |

I suspect that internally the drive can do the long selftest in parallel -- |
31 |
all platters at the same time. But when going from CMR to SMR, platter count |
32 |
does not grow linearly with capacity. So the drive may have ⅓ more capacity, |
33 |
but number of platters stayed the same. |

Uhm, even without a calculator, I challange that. 1 hour is 60 minutes, so |
38 |
10 hours = 600 minutes, making 1200 minutes a mere 20 hours. ;-) |
