    Shucked it for my DIY NAS and determined it's a WD180EDGZ-11B2DA0. Great value - but beware of the lingering hardcoded software if installing on Linux NAS.

    the Webpage gave the suggestion of a case for the HD. this needs a bigger case than what was listed. Had to return the case and purchase one online.

    Item is as advertised. I have ordered this item before and it seems to last. The power cord does seem a little "cheaper" but I am not worried about it.

    Bought it for Xbox series X external storage, but turns out Xbox only supports up to 13 gb. Now using it for my desktop pc, but like other reviewers said, it makes an annoying clunking sound every 5 seconds. Do not buy unless you're in a loud environment where you won't be able to hear the drive clunking. Otherwise it'll drive you insane.

    It seems to be working fine but it is noisy more so than any other backup device I’ve ever had.
