WD Red Plus
10 TB, 3.5", CMR
Question about WD Red Plus
Is the WD100EFAX - explicit a SMR technology plate or PMR plate? WD itself has said ">8TB are CMR = PMR", but the letter 'A' clearly indicates SMR technology. The cache of 256MB is just another indication, but (alone) no proof! Thanks for reliable information p.s. Yes, I bought this WD100EFAX for my Synology NAS!
WD will hardly lie now that they have realised how serious this issue is for customers.
WD has published another list of SMR drives: https://blog.westerndigital.com/wp-content...
