    Host Managed SMR Drives


    Does Windows 10 support host managed SMR hard drives? What happens if I try to attach a HM-SMR drive to my computer and reinstall windows? If not as a OS boot drive, can I attach it as a secondary data drive?

    :)

    SMR Technology

    Wow that is a lot of tech squeezed into that drive. I wonder if the consumer drives have smr for them. I have not been tracking hdd technology that much. The last time I read about Smr and Hmr was the huge cost to move to them. So I really wonder how long it takes for the cost to trickle down for consumers. There is still bit patterned media to go to for Hdd.

    Only in the highest density drives. Otherwise, I'd like to see a source as wikipedia seems to imply otherwise.

    Host Managed SMR Drives

    SMR Technology

    I just recall SMR drives remind me of tape drives. Hahah . Good for storage but not much else. Though SMR is a huge advantage in reading vs tape drive.
