  Avoid these as apparently the newer WDs have soldered on controller boards which means you cannot shuck the drive and stick it into another enclosure/adapter cable if the controller board dies. Worth double checking if you're still keen.

    they've been like this since 1st gen back in 2010. It's not a new thing.

  Only sporting USB-C for convenience, not performance boost from what I understand.

    Type C is more than just a convenience, is it not?

      Would be nice if they chucked a faster drive in there too.

  Wait for the next Seagate deal like this one:

  Opened mine up for a “look-see”. The drive is a Seagate Barracuda 2.5” ST5000LM000.

  Most of these use Seagate drives, like the guy above me mentioned. It's always better to just directly get a Seagate drive rather than one of the many branded derivatives (A friend of mine paid nearly $20 more than my Seagate 1TB for a Sony 1TB. Not much, but $20 is $20)

    WD use Seagate drives?

      Of course, I shucked a Seagate recently and out popped a Toshiba.

      On a serious note, doesn't feel like a bargain here. 5TB portables have been cheaper.
