Is this hard drive SMR or CMR?
Hello there,
I've recently found out drives are either SMR or CMR and you should know this before buying as both have their ups and downs and purpose. What is the best for gaming or a windows operating system?
I am using for my windows: WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB Is this a SMR or CMR drive?
Also the same question for the one below:
Amazon.com
The purpose of the above drive is for storage of documents and video games (meant to be playable)
On WD Red NAS Drives - Western Digital Corporate Blog on here its not clear if its SMR or CMR
also found this bit on there https://blog.westerndigital.com/wp-c...R_SKUs_vDS.pdf
Let me know what you guys conclude.
Also what is this in CM? 5.79 x 4 x 1.03 inches
I think I cannot add a drive higher then 2.5CM
