I'm currently using a 3TB SAS disk as an archive for files I seldom access and only read from.
I've tried looking in to the Seagate Archive disks and FreeNAS/ZFS, but I haven't been able to find much recent (this year) information.
I'm aware of the SMR and missing TLER, but what I'm wondering is whether or not this is an actual issue with ZFS?
My plan is to buy two 8TB drives, create a mirror vdev, create a new pool and then dump the data from the 3TB drive on that.
Write performance is not really a concern from this pool, as data will be dumped on it once and then read once a blue moon.
