Yes, it's $10 higher than the coveted $180 ($15/TB) price point, but it has a three-year warranty rather than the two years of the WD Elements/EasyStore or one-year of the Seagate Expansion.

I picked up a couple from Amazon two weeks ago, the drives are WD120EDAZ-11F3RA0.

This is the one that hardware encrypts data with no way to turn it off. May or may not be a problem depending on your use case.

Encryption without contol is always a problem. Avoid like B.1.1.7

Saw a video on a 14 TB model that may require a pin mod for the power cable or adapter for it to work once shucked.

That would depend on your power supply.

These are shuckable and you would need to do the pin trick on the power connection. However I've discovered if you use a molex to sata adapter and simply use the molex connector you more than likely have on your power supply, you won't need to do the pin trick

Pretty sure you can wire all of your hdd power cables sata->molex->sata and never have to deal with that again.

And is this encryption piece on the disk or in the electronics? So if you shuck it before ever spinning it up it should be clean right?
