I&#x27;ve never heard about SMR before. I wonder - does it mean that a write to one area must be done in multiple disk rotations? Ie: if a sequential write to one file be aggregated into a single location on the disk or will it be spread around the whole plate. Just wondering how a software utilizing this should behave.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.storagereview.com&#x2F;what_is_shingled_magnetic_recording_smr" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.storagereview.com&#x2F;what_is_shingled_magnetic_recor...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Shingled_magnetic_recording" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Shingled_magnetic_recording</a>
