Yeah, older consoles. Or perhaps NVR boxes.

Or in my case. Mini-ITX boxes that can't fit a platter. Smilie

what are the chances that a 4TB WD Blue SSD like this one will be $199 or cheaper in a year or so? Smilie

This item seems like it's in a weird space.

What would the usage case be for a 2.5" sata this size where a smaller NVME plus large platter storage wouldn't cover it? Perhaps last gen consoles?

I have 2x spinning 4tb drives for backing up iphoto and google drive. If money weren't a concern, this would be way faster and generate a lot less heat. It's obviously the future, just taking its time.

Aren't hard drive prices going up because of the new crypto that uses HD for mining?

Is that on SSD or mechanical?

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a full back up. I've recovered a lot of data from HDD's, but SSD's with TRIM, basically none of the data is recoverable.

I wonder if that's why so many 2TB or 4TB HDD(not SSD) are so cheap recently.... Smilie

If I was going into farming, I would buy the biggest drives out there.(and cheapest based on price per TB) Perhaps 12TB to 18TB.... Smilie

600 TBW endurance. Even the Samsung QLC drives have better endurance.
That said, it's the cheapest 4TB SSD

it's a mirrored ZFS volume, and backed up offsite weekly.

Staring at a 7 year old SSD with zero issues, I'll take my chances. And "recoverable" is a sliding scale. I've got an old 80gb HDD that died and nothing I can do in my house will recover the data. No doubt with enough money, a professional could pull data off, but that isn't exactly something I or most people want to pay for.
