I have the 8TB. For 50GB transfers I get about 120,000 k/s according to Total Commander. I’ve filled up drives and that transfer remains similar.

it is bad thing for performance. good thing for recording density. SMR allows recordings to be layer on top of each other (thus the name, Shingled magnetic recording). very much like your roof tops,...

Is SMR a good or bad thing? Like does it help prolong the HD life or anything like that?

Reread what YOU posted in your first post, and tell me what that has to do with your second post? Were you exaggerating the facts to make a point? If that is your speeds, something is wrong somewhere.

I'm betting you didn't do a long write and don't know about how SMR drives write data to the drive. These speeds fit with what other people online have posted about the drive. My guess is you never...

While I don't have an 8TB version I do have the older 5TB I bought from Costco a few years back. Speeds are relatively fine with it or my use. A speed test from an old desktop PC using a USB 3.0 PCI...

Strange I have two of them and they both have over 4tb on them and they didn't take that long to write.

Just FYI I picked up one of these and the write speeds are SLOW. Like between 6mb/s and 15mb/s
