Piggybacking to ask if anyone knows of any external HDD that is SATA internally so I can take it apart and shove it into my system. The price difference is insane right now
This is called drive schucking, if you search for that you should be able to find some lists
Thank you!
Thank you! I didn't know that was a thing, but since I'm in the market to begin building a NAS, that will surely be useful to know terminology
And thank you for that, too. I had no idea there would be so much to consider, but I'm glad to be informed.
No problem. I unfortunately found out about shingled drives after I bought them. Now I have a noisy 8TB drive that takes 18hrs to run a long SMART self test plus 2 4TB ones. The transfer speeds are lower too but otherwise they work fine and fortunately I'm just using them for media.
AFAIK there's no advantage to shingled drives at all. They make them because they're cheaper than CMR. It was a few years of the manufacturers selling them before they actually admitted it IIRC.
Any drive you see labeled as NAS or Enterprise will definitely be CMR. It's the regular/gaming/external ones you need to watch out for.
Good question. I would imagine the internal ones would be cheaper, but its the contrary. Crazy
