Not that interesting, for me personally. That's like asking how well
different filesystems would perform on tape. If I'm storing data on
tape, I'll use an algorithm designed to work on tape, and a tape
drive that actually has a command set that doesn't try to pretend
that it is useful for random writes.
What about DEC-Tape? :-) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DECtape) (I
may even have a few left in a closet somewhere, if only I could find
someone to read them.)
SMR is pretty analogous to tape, with the benefit of being as fast as
CMR for random reads.
