  • se the code P20TECH at checkout

  • Same site has the new Lacie portable 4TB @ $200 after the 20% discount

  • cheap for 8 tb

  • Seagate hard drive?

  • Cheers was needing a new high capacity external.

  • Warning one its a seagate
    warning two it has over 20% one star reviews at amazon

    question: if one leaves this drive and keeps in storage for backup
    does that make it unlikely to fail since it is rarely used
    can a hdd just die from non usage?

    • I've often wondered this. There would have to be some physical degradation of the moving parts. I'm not sure how fast that happens. HDDs are sealed pretty well, but then i'd be pretty surprised if you used this in 15 years and still worked fine. I dunno. I'm just a farmer.

        I've had 4 out of 6 WD Green 2TB drives die on me, and they were used to archive data only. I'd only them use sparingly. After a long gap of 4 years of not using them, they died, just like that, no clicking noise. On the other hand, my 1TB black caviar from 2010 is still running, and I bought that one from vietnam. My seagate 256GB from 2004 is still running too. Maybe if you power them up once every few months that should keep them operating?

          Thanks that’s exactly what I wanted to know

          Amazing how idle drives can just die

          This is why it’s always good to have 2 copies of every important file on 2 drives at 2 locations in case of fire or theft etc

    • Not sure why you got negged. Useful information IMO.

  • Which Porsche is this design based on?

    • The Orange one.

  • Out of stock
    Found it (desktop model)

  • It took Porsche to design a box. Sheer German brilliance!

    • Fixed

      It took Porsche to design a Boxster. Sheer German brilliance!

  • is there a 911 version where it only works if you plug it in from the back?
