[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1914797, member: 175845"] It looks like I got duped not knowing about this SMR Drive scenario back in the spring of this year when I picked up a 2TB Seagate ST2000DM008 HDD for a secondary backup drive and I guess I should have known as it was at a price that was almost too good to be true. It seems that it just happens to be one of the Seagate SMR HDD models: [URL unfurl="true"]https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/04/15/seagate-2-4-and-8tb-barracuda-and-desktop-hdd-smr/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.consumerclasslawyersblog.com/seagate-technology-western-digital-and-toshiba-hard-drives-secretly-contain-smr-technology/[/URL] I guess I didn't do my usual double-checking before purchasing... Stupid compulsion instead!!! Maybe I should think about returning it as it hasn't even been formatted or put into use, even though I bought it in March 2022, if that is even possible. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
