Feature request : For Detect CMR or SMR ! #212

Closed TP555 closed 1 year ago

TP555 commented 1 year ago

Hi

Can you may add a Detection if an HDD use CMR or this bad SMR ?

Unfortunately, in order to distinguish between CMR and SMR, we need to build our own database for each product. This seems to be difficult in reality, as CMR and SMR are sometimes mixed even for the same model number.

An excellent resource for finding out the CMR vs SMR model type has been, for a while now, the HDD Platter Database https://rml527.blogspot.com
