    I got a bunch of these drives, pulled from set-top boxes. So testing them, I find some are around 110 MB/s and others around 90 MB/s. All are 500 GB. The suffixes make up alphabet soup, but I would think they are all "AV" drives.

    What capacity do they have?
    Maybe these are SMR drives that are much slower in writing because of
    the technology used.
