Based on my general new article reading, I thought everything above 6GB was using shingled storage which doesn't interest me so much. I'd be interested if you find out otherwise. On 12 January 2016 at 16:56, Russell Coker via luv-main <luv-main@luv.asn.au

Are SSHDs any good? MSY has Seagate 8TB SSHDs for only $309. That's cheaper than a 6TB disk using regular technology, suspiciously cheap. I'm guessing that they use something like Shingled recording to improve the storage:price ratio and use the SSHD caching to allow decent performance without the OS optimising write patterns for it.
