+ Be aware this My Book external has the hardware encryption vs. the Elements in the other deals does not. I've had the board in one of these go bad years ago losing all the data.
- Any chance you could explain or link to details on why the hardware encryption is bad for long term reliability? ty!
+Not an issue if the drive is shucked and used without enclosure. The encryption protects the data if the drive were to be removed and connected directly to the SATA in PC. However if that SATA to USB board that handles the hardware encryption ever fails, consider the data lost or very hard to restore (finding another working enclosure that has the same decryption key). My external was on and connected 24/7 for year or so (forgot how long) before it failed. You can search "wd my book enclosure failure" for more details.
You might need to use the 3rd pin trick. (was mentioned in the same thread a couple of weeks ago)

Also as i mentioned, if you use a molex to sata adapter, the 3rd pin trick is unnecessary if you just don't want to go through the process of scraping away the 3rd pin.
