Looks like Seagate is releasing an ST...AS series 8Tb SMR drive. http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_ar ... review_8tb
This time the SMR is fully drive managed so it can be used in any OS. They are selling it as an archive drive, so obviously the performance will suck. I'm betting these are the first 8Tb SMR's that end users will start putting in their PC's and will end up on our data recovery labs.
I wonder what "CTU Unit" on the drive stands for... "clicking timebomb unit" perhaps :lol:
