    You could hear the hard drive revs when you access it, imagine a spooling turbo. No biggie, it’s a mechanical hard drive.

    Rsync'ed 2TB of data from WD 4TB (SMR) to the Seagate Barracuda 8TB (turns out it is also SMR). Took almost 9 hours. 3 hours longer than I anticipated. Did the same 2TB copy from one WD 4TB to a different WD 4TB drive, it took six hours. Since I already moved the data, I decided to keep the drives since the SMR penalty is paid during writes. And this server is for archiving, it is something I can live with. But if I had know before hand, I would have maybe considered the WD 6TB. For more information research CMR vs SMR vs PMR.

    The drive is being used as a backup drive. It has been running well since I've had it, although I can't speak to any speeds since it is connected via USB.
