       SMR hard drives were a fucking mistake, a bad idea, a retarded idea even. Give me thicker or larger drives for extra storage rather than this shit.

       @sallyNULL Don't buy them then, buy CMR HDD's only.While manufacturers may attempt to not label SMR HDD's, you can simply search up the model number to find out.

       @SuiseisekiThe problem comes when you need portability and massive storage.I usually buy 3.5" CMR drives only as those have better performance, even as external, portable massive storage, but they're cumbersome and require auxiliary power supply. If you want proper portability you either:1. Get 2.5" SMR HDDs with dogshit performance as manufacturers do not produce CMR 2.5" drives anymore.2. Get an SSD which does have way better performance but is more expensive and wears much faster if you have to transfer large files (which is why i get HDDs).

       @sallyNULL For me, sshfs into my server which has all the HDDs is pretty portable, although I guess upload is a problem for large files.
