Howdy all, |

Little update here. Rich, I think you mentioned it would slow down when |
| 4 |
it ran out of PMR space while trying to redo the shingled part. Up |
| 5 |
until now, I hadn't ran into that issue. It seems the PMR section for |
| 6 |
this drive is somewhere around 40 or 50GBs, maybe 60GBs. I hadn't had |
| 7 |
time for backups in over a week so it was a good bit larger than usual. |
| 8 |
It was around 70GBs, maybe 75. When it got close to the end of the |
| 9 |
rsync process, I noticed it slowed down quite a bit. I'd guess about |
| 10 |
half or so. Usually it runs at around 180 to 190MBs/sec for larger |
| 11 |
files. Pretty close to the end, rsync was showing around 100MBs/sec at |
| 12 |
best. It was a little over on some but mostly a little below that. |
| 13 |
Earlier in the process, it was the normal speed. |

I might add, even tho the copy process has been done for a while now, 20 |
| 16 |
minutes or more, I can still feel that little bumpy thing it does. It |
| 17 |
seems to have stopped while typing that in. Unless it is taking a break |
| 18 |
and starts up again. ;-) |

Still, for this use case, it works OK. I wouldn't want SMR on my /home |
| 21 |
or some other partition that needs to be fairly fast at all times. For |
| 22 |
windoze users, well, they used to that slow down and freezes so they |
| 23 |
wouldn't notice the difference. ROFL |
