!!! Important warning for PC3K/DE installed on systems with SMR drives (for map sectors) !!!
Posted: 07.04.23, 16:25
If someone works a lot on many tasks and maps sectors (in their reading time) - then they absolutely should not do it on SMR drives...
Especially on Seagate drives...
After some time - tasks in DE slow down and finally break down...
As we have a new disk (in the sense of pure MC) everything is ok.
But after some time - when DE saves tens or hundreds of thousands of files on the disk (in tasks) - and at the time of any changes (in DE - e.g. reading missing sectors) - problems begin....
Until the final corruption of the software....
At least that's how it was in my case.
Therefore - in my opinion - you should not map sectors in DE on SMR disks !!!
