We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

OMG, I thought the issue was solved, but that means the 2Tb LM0003 I have may indeed be SMR! I guess this means I'll try to find some HGST Travelstar 7K1000...
The one in my hand is a 9.5mm ST2000LM003 branded Seagate, PN: HN-M201RAD/D1, rev A, F/W: 2BE10001, 5400 RPM, DP/N: 0TF52W, Made in China on July 2016 Site: DHT MSIP-REM-STX Momentus D
If you want more details, I can check the manufacturer data (hdparm, smart...) or benchmark (ex: with fio on Linux) - anything that doesn't require putting the drive in the ZFS pool!
If you have other references (someone mentioned Toshiba), I'd be very interested.
