Even though consoles are typically write once, read many times... You still couldn't pay me to go SMR unless it was absolutely necessary. (I.E. 10+ terabytes.)
Plus some consoles (I.E. WiiU) can be very fickle about bus powered drives, but I guess the reduced power plug/cable clutter is beneficial.
rebranded repainted product aimed at a non existent market. at a time game assets are growing exponentially in size and at least the consoles will generate massive pressure for high bandwidth reading from disk who is going to want these?? ps5 and xbox x probably wont even allow this to be used for latest games even if the game doesnt need that much bandwidth.
now as if this whole thing isnt bad enof, add SMR to the picture.
Conventional USB storage can still be used for "archiving" games, i.e. you won't be able to play them off of the drive, but you can put them away temporarily without needing to re-download them the next time you want to play. So there's still a use, even if it's more marginal/more labor intensive.
lol archiving games ?? what planet are you on ?? next you are going to sell us a special USB drive with jQuery on it, and a chrome plugin to eliminate "needing to re-download them the next time" a page references it.
<sarcasm> Oh wow, where do I sign up for the blistering performance of SMR behind the outstanding durability of a Micro-B connector?! Because gaming is in the name, it MUST be fast after all! </sarcasm>

The task of the introduction is to capture the reader's attention: to ask an exciting question, to confront him with a paradox, a contradiction. The introduction <a href="https://en.writingapaper.net/coursework-writing-se... should intrigue the reader so that he or she cannot resist reading the rest of the text. The thesis is the author's main idea, expressed in one or more sentences. A thesis statement is a statement of the main idea of a text that is consistent with the question posed or the theme set.
