Seagate Expansion 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEB8000100)

@lashalasha This Seagate drive is an SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) drive. Welcome to SMR hell. These drives mine just fine, but are incredibly painful to optimally plot - think two weeks for an 8TB drive. You can speed it up somewhat by plotting to a non-SMR drive, then copying it - but it's still going to hurt.

@haitch after restart the pc this Hdd working very fine. after restart write speed is about 100 mb/s
-
@lashalasha It will not maintain that.
-
@haitch witch HDD is good for plotting ?
-
@lashalasha Any non-SMR drive. I like Western Digital, Samsung, Hitachi. Just not Seagate.
