I want to experiment with libzbc.Is there any seller with normal prices and shipping price in the EU which sells SMR SATA HDDs supporting ZAC ?I asked local bulk distributors and they are not able to order it, nor aware or understanding the technology.I know there is a simulation mode in libzbc, that does not solve my problem.I understand too the performance implications of SMR.The HDD models i found so far are:ST8000AS022 - found one overpriced offer on ebay from USHSH721414AL - found only in one slide about linux ZBC/ZAC supportThe ST8000AS002 model is Disk-Managed and does not support ZAC.I know the last possibility is contacting Seagate or HGST or WDC directly but i am an end user, i do not believe they will waste time with my small order.Additional info:www.snia.org/sites/default/files/SDC/2016/presentations/smr/DamienLeMoal_ZBC-ZAC_Linux.pdfevents.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/SMR-LinuxConUSA-2014.pdflwn.net/Articles/697913/events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/lemoal-Linux-SMR-vault-2017.pdf
