These portables with USB power are not shuckable because they lack a SATA interface. You probably could DIY an internal cable solution using a USB header on your mobo but it's not worth your money or effort.

The shuckable ones are the desktop models with separate power supplies and standard 3.5" drives inside. AFAIK capacities range from 6TB to 14TB. Plenty of discussion about CMR vs SMR, helium filled drives, etc. on the drives contained within. These are worth shucking because they are often cheaper than the internal drive alone.
Don't forget extra 15% off for trading in any storage device. I traded in a cheap promotional flash drive from a job fair
nice! can you provide any more info on this? didn't see it on the product page

Edit: Google is hard...

Are flash drives considered for the 15% off coupon?

I'm curious about this as well. Here is a link to the program.

I am assuming thumb drives would not qualify

Too bad the deal is over. I just really I have an internal 500gb I could throw out, I'd just full format it one more time. Plus I have 10% on Chase though then I could not use my gift card

For those that got the 15% coupon: does it expire? Wondering if I should go ahead and get the coupon now and have it ready for the next deal.

Not that great! Regular HD in the PC are built for repeated write up and erases. They are slow but have a long life for the constant usage while these are not built for that constant data loading. Its for data back up or rare usage, I am sure some have used it as regular HD but not recommended.

What if I keep such a disk connected to a live pc/router all the time, but really use for backup … like a NAS backup/media device.
