How are you using SMR based drives?

Too bad many of us have to keep backup forever to comply with laws.
Not TOO many of us. That's a pretty rare requirement.

@Jason Forever? What the heck do you do? Legal stuff?
SEC is seven years. So can't be that one.

Indeed and if you have extra years of backups it can be a liability for the business

Medical is 7 years also - except for minor, then it's 21 yrs old + 2.

Sad how many don't realize this. But like people having bad passwords - they won't change until they are forced to due to someone stealing their identity - and even then many don't bother changing their ways.

LOL - don't ask me why the law is written this way... it's just weird.
What's odd is that it's not the age of majority + 2, that would be 19 + 2 in Nebraska = 21... -
Currently using a couple of 8TB SMR Seagate Archive model drive for longer term archive storage.
Matter of fact, in the few rounds of surface testing to see how it holds up, it seems to develop slow reads quite early. Still new technology in production, therefore not much data available to analyze as far as reliability goes.
Definitely not designed for RAIDs or anything performance oriented.

A class action lawsuit 15 years ago, they lost but the outcome of that was everyone in the industry now has to keep all data forever. (Not to mention what they said the companies where doing as they tried against about 10 companies was not illegal)

That's a hell of a burden on the company. Gross.

That's what starting new companies and killing off old ones is for. Things like that break the cycle.
