Tuxic's recent thread brought me back to looking at SDDs again. I |
| 4 |
recently learned about HDDs having SMR instead of PMR and how that can |
| 5 |
be a negative in some situations. I've since found out that one of my |
| 6 |
/home drives is a SMR. I didn't know to look at that when I bought it. |
| 7 |
So, before I find a SDD to buy, what are some things I should look for |
| 8 |
it to have and what are things I should avoid? I'm sure SMR and PMR |
| 9 |
doesn't apply here but I bet you gurus have ran up on things the hard |
| 10 |
way to either avoid or make sure SDDs have. |

As is, the OS itself is on sda. That includes everything except /home |
| 13 |
which is on two drives using LVM. It's about 9TBs or so I think. One |
| 14 |
6TB drive, SMR I'm afraid to admit, and a 3TB drive that I'm pretty sure |
| 15 |
is PMR. I may put /var on a HDD since it changes a good bit. Everything |
| 16 |
else, except /home, would be on the SDD. |

Anyone care to share? |

While at it, if I look for a NAS type HDD, would all those be PMR |
| 21 |
instead of SMR? From my understanding that should be correct. Mostly I |
| 22 |
buy WD, Seagate and Samsung. I've had a WD fail, I've had a Seagate |
| 23 |
fail. I'm not looking for a HDD flame up. O_o I'm starting to look at |
| 24 |
HGST. I think I got the spelling correct. Never had one tho. |
