Review on 18 TB External HDD Western Digital WD Elements Desktop, USB 3.0, black by Kim Chong ᠌

The disk within has the identification number WD80EDAZ-11TA3A0, as displayed by Smart. The true rotational speed is 7200 revolutions per minute. This is not accurate, as determined by vibration analysis using a spectrum analyzer; the number 5400 is written everywhere. According to the information found on the internet, the disk does not contain helium but rather regular air. Various pros: No way, SMR! I made it a point to perform benchmarks that involved writing non-linearly to the disk for an extended period of time. I used the copy and paste method to manually transfer a substantial amount of data to it in a number of different threads. It was not possible to achieve a slower recording speed like what is available with SMR. Read and write speeds overall that are respectable, coming in at less than 190 MB/s. Some cons: If the disk is not cooled in any way, shape, or form, then it will reach a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit under normal conditions. I really hope everything turns out okay for him. There is some background noise, as well as some shaking. If you prefer to go to sleep without any noise interruptions, moving the disc to a different room is the best option.
