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.

Everything dies, just a question of when. That is why we back up our data for just such an occasion. But when is the last or the first time you've known of a failed SSD? I've had several mechanical HDD's die on me, but not a single flash card, or stick of RAM or SSD to date. And by date I'm counting from my very first computer ever, running Windows 3.1 some 25 years ago now!
I deal in Terabytes of data on the regular! I assure you I am up to date on this topic and I didn't miss anything here. This 5TB drive, now expired, wasn't a great deal, especially when you can get 10TB enterprise HDD's for about $100 on sale now. These are just the facts of the matter in this time and age.
Cheers 🍻
Saw the same about 2 weeks ago and shared it with some Twitter deal folk.
On some they connect drive directly via PCB to transfer board so you don't even get physical SATA connector inside. After some serious tinkering I'm sure it's possible to attach such connector by soldering somehow to drive but that wouldn't be worth the hassle IMO. I don't remember the drive but it was Seagate one I think that when I took the enclosure apart it was like that inside so had to glue it all back together.
Cheers 🍻
And of course, only a few months after the warranty window expired, it quickly degraded with bad sectors showing up, and in a matter of days, it was completely dead & unreadable. It died mid-transfer, so I never even got to finish extracting the content I had stored on the drive...
Had no choice but to buy another one, since there doesn't seem to be any comparable drive at this price range & size, that is suitable for gaming.
Buy at your own risk. At least I know I'm secured beyond its inevitable 3-year failure, since this time I have it covered under my Asurion Tech Unlimited warranty plan.
