Description (last modified by )
I'm really not sure how this can be addressed easily.
There are a lot of SMR drives quietly submarining into supply channels that are programmed to "look" like "conventional" drives (CMR). This appears to be an attempt to end-run around consumer resistance
WD and Seagate are _both_ shipping drive-managed SMR (DM-SMR) drives which don't report themselves as SMR when questioned via conventional means.
What's worse, they're shipping DM-SMR drives as "RAID" and "NAS" drives
This is causing MAJOR problems - such as the latest iteration of WD REDs (WDx0EFAX replacing WDx0EFRX) being unable to be used for rebuilding RAID[56] or ZFS RAIDZ sets: They rebuiild for a while (1-2 hours), then throw errors and get kicked out of the set.
When this happens, the drives themselves report such oddities in the logs as "IDNF" ("Sector ID not found") when interrogated with smartctl -x
---- Error 451 [18] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 286 hours (11 days + 22 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

I'd originally thought this was due to them reading ahead to areas not yet recorded in the shingled area in use and getting an unformatted block(*), but 100% zero-filling a drive resulted in the same errors.
(*) SMR zone filling is different to CMR preformatted layouts
The only real external clue that these drives are not what they should be is that they report themselves as "trim" capable - which a CMR drive shouldn't be able to do.
for a WD40EFAX
hdparm -I shows:
* Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 10 blocks)
* Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM
And to make matters worse, not all DM-SMR drives are doing this - for example Seagate ST3000DM-007 are DM-SMR but don't report TRIM capabilities
Caveats:
Beware of using "PMR" as a term, SMR (shingled) is an extension on PMR and if you use this instead of "CMR" (for 'conventional') the drive makers will latch on it to twist words and block your complaints - I've already found this out the hard way, and the fact that they're resorting to weasel-activities like that shows they know that they have created problems.
"Two dimensional magnetic recording"(TDMR) is a necessary part of SMR (shingled+zoning), but the marketers don't see it that way. The effect is the same and the implications of both are the same.

At the moment I'm not sure.
All I can suggest that if a drive reports itself as "rotational" with "trim" capabilities, but gives negative response to T10/T13 SMR queries, a warning message be issued that all is not as it seems.
It's been known that SMR/TDMR drives have different characteristics to CMR drives but these can be mitigated to some extent if handled in a Host-Aware or "Host-Managed" scenario. (HA-SMR or HM-SMR)
It's worth noting that in the HGST presentation about SMR drives to the Europe OpenZFS forum in 2015, the HGST engineer who was responsible for SMR development stated that the disadvantages of DM-SMR were so marked that HGST declined to put them on the market (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2lnMxMUxyc - this is worth watching to understand how these drives are different to CMR drives)
If I hadn't purchased a batch of drives I would have chalked it up to a faulty unit but having the same issue crop up in multiple devices was a wakeup call - as was the WD response.
The biggest problem is that in a DM-SMR environment, performance can vary wildly from "okish" to "utterly rotten" as well as the problem I've noted in my original entry. It's not acceptable that makers are hiding the underlaying architecture from the data sheets - or that they're marketing these things as RAID drives when they're patently unable to be used to resilver existing arrays of what appear to be the "same" drives.
I suspect regulators are likely to need to step in over misleading marketing claims, but at the end of the day it's clear that SMR drives are here to stay.

smartctl -x differences.
Not sure if these will be of much use trying to pick between SMR/CMR drives
(although it's been presented as "fact" that EFRX = CMR and EFAX = SMR, it would result in a requirement to "know" models in order to put that into drive.db and that means "moving target")

I think something that could help to identify SMR disks is already defined in smartctl: use the parameter --identify=wb and search for word 69, bits1:0. Here is defines the Zoned Capabilities of device, according to the following table:
00b Not reported
01b Device supports the Host Aware Zones feature set (see ZAC)
10b Device supports device managed zoned device capabilities
11b Reserved
Stoat, can you please try the identify command on your SMR drives?
And to offer more detailed info I'd like to suggest a little addition to smartctl: there is a quite new standard from T13, named "Zoned Device ATA Command Set (ZAC)", the PDF with all the details is available here: http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2015/di537r05-Zoned_Device_ATA_Command_Set_ZAC.pdf
If you read this standard you will see that there is an extension of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command, explained on page 76 of the pdf. This could help to get a lot more info from SMR hdds.
But first I suggest to take a look at what is returned from the identify command.

69 1:0 0x0 Zoned Capabilities
That appears to be "not reported" on the WD40EFAX (and is the same as the WD20EFRX)

So it's seems that the SMR technology is a secret to be kept hidden to the user!
Can you please try also on other SMR drives?
And please see if the following command gives some more info: -l gplog,0x30,9
According to ZAC standard this page should contains detailed info on ZONED DEVICE.

It really does look like they're going out of their way to hide DM-SMR is under the covers
however, the WD20EFRX returns:

For what it's worth, this is the output from a ST4000VN000-1H41 (about 8 years old)

I'm pretty sure this drive is CMR, due to its age, performance characteristics and the fact that it (plus its 4 friends) resilvered in the same ZFS array in less than a day whilst the WD40EFAX drives won't even stay in the array.
WD40EFRX have been completely removed from my wholesaler's list so I can't even obtain one to crosscheck.

comment:12 by , 4 years ago
I understand the reason why both your WD drives does not report the relevant ZONED DEVICES information. It's due to the fact that they are not compliant to ACS-4, but they are compliant to previous standards, ACS-3 or ACS-2 (see word 80 of IDENTIFY DEVICE returned data). On these two specs the ZONED DEVICES capabilities flags was not defined!
Considering that ACS-4 move from DRAFT to FINAL on 10/14/16, I am curios to see if any new "ACS-4 compliant" SMR drives declare their capabilities in proper way. Any one can do this kind of test with recent SMR drives?
comment:13 by , 4 years ago
The WD40EFAX drives are new to the channel as of Q32019, so there's no real reason they shouldn't be ACS4 (presumably WD shipped them as ACS3 to be inline with the larger/older EFAX models)
This still leaves open the question of how to differentiate SMR from CMR drives
It really does look like the only significant differences are in word 69 (trim now supported) and 84 (streaming no longer supported - which you'd expect if the drive has to periodically stop to rearrange itself)
comment:14 by , 4 years ago
It looks like this has been a hot-button issue in the Reddit datahoarder area for at least a year
Concensus seems to be:
"All rotational drives with trim are SMR drives. HOWEVER, not all SMR drives expose trim function"
there are some other clues in the model numbers through: Seagate adding an extra 0 in some suffixes - ST3000DM0007 vs SM3000DM007 and the EFRX vs EFAX in WD's RED ranges.
The complaints are long, loud and repeated that both SG & WD are omitting to mention that drives are SMR - even when challenged on the issue, deflecting with "Oh, they're TGMR" (which is a head type) or "PMR" (which is a recording technique), etc

See previous 2 attachments, related to a recent 2.5" Toshiba hdd, 2TB size, L200 serie.
This drive report itself to be only ACS-3 compliant, not ACS-4, but the last 2 bits of word 69 of identify command are present:

0x2 means "Device supports device managed zoned device capabilities", so this is clearly an SMR drive.
I'd like to know if other SMR disks report this info on word 69: comments from other smartmontools users are welcome!

Note this claim from WDC's UK enterprise & Channel sales manager:
From: Yemi Elegunde <yemi.elegunde@…>
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 08:49:11 +0000
Subject: Re: Western Digital UK HDD Roadmap
Thread-Topic: Western Digital UK HDD Roadmap
Morning all,
I am ok for a roadmap update if needed. I am available on Thursday & Friday as well.
Just a quick note. The only SMR drive that Western Digital will have in production is our 20TB hard enterprise hard drives and even these will not be rolled out into the channel.
All of our current range of hard drives are based on CMR Conventional Magnetic Recording.
With SMR Western Digital would make it very clear as that format of hard drive requires a lot of technological tweaks in customer systems.
With regards
Yemi Elegunde

In that thread: my response to Yemi was:
Have you perhaps confused SMR and HAMR?
It's already known and more importantly _provable_ that WD are shipping
Drive-managed SMR (DM-SMR)drives at lower capacities
I can assure you that within hours of such a denial being publicised
people will be breaking out the JTAG conections to look at drive
internals at a very low level, then publishing their results
response:
Let me get my Field Application engineers involved.
I think a roadmap update will also be handy. HAMR is the next technology that We are looking at. But I will wait and get more info from the techies.
A request to disclose WD DM-SMR drives that have been released into the channel along with a way of decoding DM-SMR from the naming nomclemature simply got anther offer to "discuss this in a conference call with my Field application engineers and the HDD specialists."
They've had a week to respond and failed to do so, which is why I've throwing this into the public arena.
comment:18 by , 4 years ago
A representative from WDC ignore the meaning of SMR and confuse it with another kind of technology? Hilarious... :-)
Let's see the evolution of this thread.
comment:19 by , 4 years ago
It seems WD are backpedalling: This was sent today to a journalist looking into it:
All our WD Red drives are designed meet or exceed the performance requirements and specifications for common small business/home NAS workloads.
We work closely with major NAS providers to ensure WD Red HDDs (and SSDs) at all capacities have broad compatibility with host systems.
Currently, Western Digital’s WD Red 2TB-6TB drives are device-managed SMR (DMSMR).
WD Red 8TB-14TB drives are CMR-based.
The information you shared from the German e-tailer appears to be inaccurate.
You are correct that we do not specify recording technology in our WD Red HDD documentation.
We strive to make the experience for our NAS customers seamless, and recording technology typically does not impact small business/home NAS-based use cases.
In device-managed SMR HDDs, the drive does its internal data management during idle times. In a typical small business/home NAS environment, workloads tend to be bursty in nature, leaving sufficient idle time for garbage collection and other maintenance operations.
In our testing of WD Red drives, we have not found RAID rebuild issues due to SMR technology.
We would be happy to work with customers on experiences they may have, but would need further, detailed information for each individual situation.
comment:20 by , 4 years ago
The first that ixSystems (TruNAS) knew of REDs being SMR was when I alerted them due to my concerns we might find undocumented SMR drives in a 2PB project I'm working on - and they use/recommend the things in their SOHO-grade TruNAS/FreeNAS products, so alarm bells went off bigtime.
I'm willing to bet that for the most part "major NAS providers" haven't been made aware of what's really going on.

This ticket is interesting to me as someone that recently purchased 10 TB 0EFAX drives. I ran the tools and it doesn't appear that the drives show the TRIM output, which is congruent with the statement sent to the journalist in https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/1313#comment:19
I attached the output in case it is interesting and useful for updating the drive database, assuming that happens. I will watch this ticket (if I can figure out how to make Trac do that).
Thanks.

Would you mind adding the output of smartctl --identify=wb (per arinci's original request on my drives) so we can see the complete table?
This will allow devs to see word 69, etc etc.
The parts I suspect that are of interest are word 69 (trim and zoning segments)and word 84 (streaming supported bit)
My suspicion is that DM-SMR drives will not support streaming even if they don't report TRIM
comment:27 by , 4 years ago
An official "statement" from WDC - which essentially says nothing other than attempting to pat people on the head and get rid of them.
Note they are STILL not offering to disclose which drives are DM-SMR or where their roadmap is going.
Given the claims in the last paragraph, perhaps devs might like to attempt to "work with WD" to try and resolve the issue (My pick is that they will demand NDRs....)
From: Yemi Elegunde <yemi.elegunde@wdc.com> Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 13:24:44 +0000 Below is an official statement from Western Digital and this fully updates and corrects my earlier message to you. If you are keen to talk to us, my offer for a conference call with my colleagues still stands. Shingled magnetic recording (SMR) is a hard drive technology that efficiently increases areal density and capacity for users managing increasing amounts of data, thus lowering users’ TCO. There are both device-managed and host-managed types, each for different use cases. All our WD Red drives are designed to meet or exceed the performance requirements and specifications for common and intended small business/home NAS workloads. WD Red capacities 2TB-6TB currently employ device-managed shingled magnetic recording (DMSMR) to maximize areal density and capacity. WD Red 8-14TB drives use conventional magnetic recording (CMR). DMSMR should not be confused with host-managed SMR (HMSMR), which is designed for data center applications having respective workload requirements and host integration. DMSMR is designed to manage intelligent data placement within the drive, rather than relying on the host, thus enabling a seamless integration for end users. The data intensity of typical small business/home NAS workloads is intermittent, leaving sufficient idle time for DMSMR drives to perform background data management tasks as needed and continue an optimal performance experience for users. WD Red drives are designed and tested for an annualized workload rate up to 180TB. Western Digital has seen reports of WD Red use in workloads far exceeding our specs and recommendations. Should users’ use cases exceed intended workloads, we recommend WD Red Pro or Ultrastar data center drives. Western Digital works extensively with customers and the NAS vendor and partner communities to continually optimize our technology and products for common uses cases. In collaboration with major NAS providers, we work to ensure WD Red HDDs (and SSDs) at all capacities are compatible with a broad set of host systems. In our testing of WD Red drives, we have not found RAID rebuild issues due to DMSMR technology. Our customers’ experience is important to us. We will continue listening to and collaborating with the broad customer and partner communities to innovate technologies that enable better experiences with, more efficient management of and faster decisions from data.

If you need more data from WD drives, I have these available for queries - just let me know what you want from them:
$ for drv in /dev/sd[a-z]; do sudo smartctl -i $drv | grep Model: ; done Device Model: WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 Device Model: WDC WD40EFRX-68N32N0 Device Model: WDC WD20EARX-32PASB0 Device Model: WDC WD40EFRX-68N32N0 Device Model: WDC WD40EFRX-68N32N0 Device Model: WDC WD20EZRX-00DC0B0 Device Model: WDC WD10PURX-64E5EY0 Device Model: WDC WD40EFRX-68N32N0
(Sorry if duplicate -- I don't see my previous offer and think maybe I hit preview instead of submit.)

Smartctl now reports these as Model Family: Western Digital ... (SMR), see r5054, r5057.
