[GLLUG] Link two RAIDs in one LVM?

Sat May 2 16:44:06 UTC 2020

Hi,

Regarding which are SMR. Here is a good place to start:
https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/20/04/29/2119250/toshiba-publishes-full-list-of-its-drives-using-slower-smr-technology
TOSHIBA:   https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/ap-en/company/news/news-topics/2020/04/storage-20200428-1.html
WD: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wd-lists-all-drives-slower-smr-techNOLOGY
Seagate: https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/04/15/seagate-2-4-and-8tb-barracuda-and-desktop-hdd-smr/

It seems that drive manufactures were being a bit secretive about it,
but they have all come clean now, documenting which HDD are SMR.

Kind Regards

James
