    I think these have soldered connections internally. Mixed reports on r/datahoarder.

  Nice price. If you want a 3y warranty instead of 1y and built in encryption/password protection, go for the WD My Passport 4TB Portable which is $139 at JB Hi-Fi with free delivery. This is what I've been looking at but haven't yet purchased.

  Can you use it as SATA drive?

  • 

    Saars on 08/09/2021 - 18:04

    No. these are not shuckable. The USB connection is soldered into the board

    For this reason I don't recommend purchasing these, if you damage the USB port somehow, then getting your data off sucks hard

  Every WD drive I purchased failed. Should I risk this. Dunno.

      Just movie storage. Most sit unused for months at a time then when I dig one out to watch an old movie it's got bad sectors up the whazoo.

        Same here.

        It seems to be okay if you're constantly copying in and out, but leave it for too long and the files can't be read.

          @Jiv: Odd. I have multiple old external WD drives lying around which I access every 1-2 years for a random file.

          Never had any issues with them but, of course, now that I've said it…

          @Jiv: I've had all sorts of brand hard drives sitting in my wardrobe unused for months some years, decades with no issues,. you don't have them stored near a 240 volt line maybe hidden in wall unless your unlucky to get few duds

          Edit: unless older hard drives were better made lolz

    I've had exactly the same experience with Seagate over the years…won't touch them now…the Toshiba's I have seem to be going strong though.

      I missed the last 4TB HDD from Mwave deal, It was a pickup but I was like 20minutes from them. So desperately looking for a 4TB HDD deal pretty much everyday😂

  I've owned two of these drives for over 3+ years now. No issues. Great drives for media storage.
