This is just because it is a SMR drive. It's done this ever since I |
| 19 |
bought the drive and it has passed all tests. There's a whole thread on |

this dating back several years. I managed to buy a SMR drive before I |
| 21 |
even knew they existed. Once it fills up that PMR section, it gets |
| 22 |
really slow. |
