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.

You're somewhat conflating the issue as well.
Mechanical drives do have longer seek times than modern solid state drives, but it's trivialized when you consider it's a metric measured in milliseconds and has been mitigated by large caches and preemptive strategies.
I don't think any consumer is considering this a direct replacement or peer for the solid state drive found in their console when upgrades for the internal storage are also being sold. If I recall correctly, you can't even launch PS5 or XBOX games off external storage.
As far as overall efficiency goes, that's more of a metric of longevity, not sustained R/W speed. Unfortunately, that's the lead that gets buried the most often.
Ask a consumer whether they'd want a drive that installs games in 5 minutes but starts wearing out in 2 years of heavy use, versus one that easily goes 5+ years but takes 20 minutes to install games and you might find that mechanical drives aren't all that unpopular. And that's before considering the price difference.
Considering this for anything outside of console use, however, is a no-brainer.
It's a fast drive at a good TB/$ for an external.
Fair point on not being (easily) shuckable.
Very few people are shucking 2.5" drives, however.

how come, everything is shuckable in my opinion, if you really work at it.

i won't make that mistake again. i will only use the hdd when hooking up to my laptop from now on - the drive will never experience a power failure.
If this was an SSD, I'd buy 3-4 of them...

3.5" would require external power adaptor or bigger case which houses the power for it. These are portable in both size and power draw since they can be run off USB port alone.

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.
This confirms that these are 5400 RPM then NOT 7200, although that also means they should produce less heat, noise and demand less power, but also have some performance reduction as well.
