    Worth getting these to crack open and put in a desktop?

      Beat me to it!

        It is only a green drive 5400rpm as opposed to a 7200rpm barracuda. Still it's much cheaper.

      Can confirm, had no problems removing 2 drives from the cases and installing them in a NAS recently. In addition threw some lower capacity WD drives in the USB case afterwards and they work fine too :)

        god i hope you've got a back up of that NAS… because you're using SMR drives >.<

        • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2017 - 13:31

          …they are now 'backup' drives in the NAS ;) and a "backup" for where I had no backup before.

      I bought one of these a while back and cracked it open. Turned out to be a ST5000DM000.
      It runs like shit. There are no other words to describe it. It barely functions if you're attempting to read or write more than one file at a time. However, I am willing to accept the performance for the price I paid. I wouldn't attempt to ever run games or applications off it though, often with speeds around 600KB/s and seek times upwards of 4000ms+ according to Windows Task Manager.

    I got this from last 15% sale, put it into a NAS to replace the old 2TB harddrive, good value for money :)

    • EnALup on 19/06/2017 - 22:33

      How is the speed or the drives? Can they be used in 2 bay NAS from Synology or QNAP or NAS ones are better?

  • dddp on 19/06/2017 - 21:48

    Good for storage use where speed isn't really required.

    I'd imagine that given that they are portable drives they are probably a bit tougher than internal drives

    • bdl on 19/06/2017 - 22:23

      They're identical

  • The Terratronie on 20/06/2017 - 00:08

    It's a SMR drive, so it will perform like sht.

    Yep Pretty much ..only good for cold storage backup
