i prefer this HDD over an SSD for cold storage where transfer speed does not matter and there is no risk of bit rot. HDD's still have their use case.
Solid state is nowhere near as reliable when it comes to constant reads and writes, as well as for archiving data.
Leave a solid state drive on a shelf without power for as little as a year in some cases and data degradation can happen.
Aside from the fact that mechanical drives still provide the best TB per $/sqin. value, the main reason large data centers still use mechanical and tape is the reliability. Home NAS setups still focus on mechanical drives for the same reason. You don't need 5Gbps sustained reads to stream local 4k content when your network or internet only support a fraction of that and that kind of constant load on a solid state drive would kill it prematurely.
I'm not understanding why there's a growing belief that you can't use both simultaneously when they both serve a valid purpose.

Can't find these on brickseek, any chance for a link?
Probably slow as heck at 5400 huh

But searching local walmart inventory says, "Walmart In-Store Results Not Available For This Product. Based on the latest information available to BrickSeek, Walmart in-store results for this product are not likely to be available at this time."

I scrolled down to the specs to find this info and it says 7200 RPM. Cheers.
Do you have the barcode number to double check online?

Good luck! Had this same unit attached to my son's Xbox series S for two years. Something in the drive died. Power's, but doesn't spin. I know this is cheap for storage at 5TB, but SSD is so much more reliable now. Sadly, most are usb 3.2 and Microsoft used 3.1 on the S so it can't read it. Thankfully he only lost Gamepass games and nothing else more important
Yes, it's just a regular HD.
[Will only run PS4 and Xbone games not PS5 or Xbox Series.]
Man I wish I had $1000 toy budget a month. Broke because of kids. Haha
You're missing one key detail: These are faster than comparable mechanical drives at similar prices, which makes them very competitive when you need a mechanical drive.

Just ordered another one for more bulk storage.
I keep My Documents - Pictures and music backed up on these. WD Black is very reliable storage. This is $5 cheaper than what I paid in 2020.
