I say this because, WD has the same вЂњinfected SMR drivesвЂќ using the well known PMR tech! It can beвЂ¦ BUT, before that happens, WD is probably using the most demanding customers / environments to TEST SMR tech so they can DEPLOY them in the bigger capacity DRIVES: 8, 10, 12, 14TB and beyond (do not currently exist). Someone said this is part of a RACE for BIGGER capacities. Unlike many home NAS operations, resilvering makes many write operations to different parts of the disk, and this is a usage pattern that SMR performs poorly on. When you plug in a new drive, вЂњresilveringвЂќ is the ZFS file system reconstructing the old diskвЂ™s contents on the new disk using the redundant information. When one disk fails, (if you have set things up right), you lose no data, because of the redundancy. I sure wish WD would make a clear statement on the matter.Д«ackground on вЂњZFS resilveringвЂќ: ZFS is a kind of filesystem which uses multiple disks and redundancy to achieve high reliability. Unfortunately, I donвЂ™t entirely believe it. This is different information than appears in other forums.

No, there is no public WD document presently which clearly answers this question of SMR, and fitness for ZFS use.

(They did not answer specifically about performing well during resilvering.)

Yes, WD60EFAX models are certified to be used in ZFS.

I asked them if my four 6TB WD60EFAX-68SHWNO drives are SMR, and if they were certified to function well when used in a ZFS filesystem doing a resilvering operation. In previous games, the SCAR-H was a powerful Assault Rifle that had a low rate of fire.For what itвЂ™s worth, I just contacted WD support. In real life, it has been in service since 2009. In case you didn't already know, the H stands for Heavy. After seeing the multiplayer footage for Black Ops 2, I think it's safe to say that it'll be one of the Assault Rifles in the game. It was developed in Switzerland and has been in service since 1990. Sig 556In real life, the Sig 556 is actually a commercial variant of the SG 551 that lacks full-auto capabilities.

Here's a picture of what the SA-58 potentially looks like: The name SA58 is pretty ambiguous though, as there are about 20 or 30 real-life assault weapons that have have a similar name. SA58The SA58 is a weapon that is closely related to the FN FAL. Like many of the other weapons, I have been unable to find a real-life version. In-game, it has low recoil and it carries 30 rounds by default. Fun fact: A similar-named weapon also appeared in the Halo series. In Black Ops 2, the Type 25 is an automatic bullpup Assault Rifle. Type 25Not to be confused with the Type 95 that appeared in MW3. It has low recoil and a reload time of about 3 seconds. In-game, it seems to be a burst-fire / select-fire weapon that shoots 4 rounds per trigger pull. It's gas-operated with a rotating bolt and it can fire 750 rounds per minute.

The M8A1 is based on the XM8 assault rifle, which was developed by Heckler & Koch. Because the game is set in the future, this has given Treyarch the flexibility to create fictional weapons. This doesn't seem to be based on any real life weapon. SMRThe SMR appeared in a few of the multiplayer videos that were put up on Youtube this week. If you remember correctly, this gun was used by the player who was firing at enemies via a hole in his Assault Shield. This was one of the assault rifles to make an appearance in the multiplayer reveal trailer. It has an effective range of up to 700 meters and it can rattle off 600 rounds per minute. This information came from those who got to play the multiplayer at Gamescom:ДЄN-94The AN-94 was developed in Russia. This is a complete list of the Assault Rifles that will appear in Black Ops 2.
