    Works fantastic for a backup drive very fast to copy TBs of data. The drive inside is a 8TB WD Red drive so do with that info as you will.

    some of the drives i got for shucking were great some were mixed SMR drives. The drive mixing was prior to WD getting busted in the media for mixing SMR/CMR drives

    I bought 4 of these portable WD external storage. On one unit, the USB port broke after 1 use. That's 25% failure rate.

    It is recommended that you use a very cheap external hard disk containing WD red to extract the hard disk and use it for your desktop.
