Howdy, I found a deal. It's open box but it's a good price. I've googled to try to find out if it is PMR or SMR but I can't find anything that says one way or another. I did find where it says it has a sustained throughput of 249MB/Sec which makes me think it is PMR, plus it is a NAS/SAS drive. Does anyone know for sure if it is a PMR drive? It's a good price at $150 but I'd like to avoid a SMR drive if at all possible.
Also, I looked at the connector and it looks like a regular SATA connector for the data and power. However, it does say it is a SAS drive. I thought SAS had a different connector but maybe I'm wrong about that. These SAS drives will connect to a regular SATA connector right? I'm thinking it will but don't need a $150 doorstop. :/ Thanks to anyone who can share some info. Let's hope that drive isn't gone before I can find out if it works or not. Dale :-) :-)
