There was the pin 3 issue.

I shucked an 8TB WD, and it didn't work in my computer. I put it in a WD My Cloud (Wish I had gone Synology then, and not his along the way) and it's working fine.

Maybe that issue made people hesitant?

Different customer base. I get that. I've used a few externals over my life, but prefer an external case with bays for multiple drives instead of the single casified external.

Yes. I use the Camel guy. Good app.

$15/TB isn’t quite the price point I was hoping for by now.

 

Is it me, or does it not seem like there are many decent black Friday deals on any kind of internal storage whether it be a spinning hard drive or a solid-state device? My last drive purchase was a 16 TB Toshiba enterprise and they paid $225. Black Friday deals. Don’t even come close to this. Except, perhaps, if people are willing to shuck.
