WD 2.5" externals have the USB controller integrated directly into the drive. Meaning that it's not a SATA drive inside.
✔️ SMR, for very slow and inconsistent write performance
✔️ Refurbished, for the will-I-get-a-good-one lottery
✔️ Third-party warranty, for hassle-full claims
It's a winner!

If you just need somewhere to dump data that's downloaded from a more reliable source, these are the drives you want.
Perfect for console users who want to offload their games, torrent seedboxes, or temporary storage for your IP cameras.
Slower rpm, slower seek times, smaller cache, smaller platters.
These are okay for things like redundant backups or junk file storage, but I won't trust refurbed drives for important data. Almost all refurbished drives over the years seem to have very high failure rates, and little to no warranty.
