Actually, you are correct. Cats don't need a reason.

Just something to keep in mind. I have seem more than my share of these outboard drives fail for just that reason Not saying don't buy it, not a bad price. Just exercise some real caution when placing it for use.

Ask about the 2.5" all you want if you can't Google because some of those are actually stuck with a micro-B connector (though technically still shuckable).
These larger drives are always just regular drives inside.
Mine was a white label (because they all are now) helium drive that did NOT require the PWDIS 3.3v "mod" (taping a connector), but apparently you might also get a non-helium (air) drive and/or one that requires the PWDIS mod because WD sometimes fits a slightly different drive. Either way you can remove and use it as an internal just like all their other 3.5" drive enclosures.

Either you care about your data and have backups or you don't. Bigger drives just make it easier from a density standpoint.
I would never NOT buy a drive simply because it's big and when it fails I might lose data. If I don't have a backup for the data on that drive.... I clearly can afford to lose it all.
If you're letting people know that physically jostling a mechanical drive when it's in operation isn't a great idea, hopefully people already know that. Also, just put these on their side and they can't tip over. The drives won't care and the tipping hazard is removed.

Just wanted other folk's experience with this particular model. You provided exactly what I was looking for with regards to whether or not these need the 3.3v pins covered or not, so thanks. I've shucked EasyStores so just wanted to ask if there were any gotchas with these
The "is it shuckable" thing is so rampant and ridiculous at this point that it's almost a meme and most of those comments won't get answered and will get down voted to oblivion. Plus the answer is always yes for 3.5" enclosed drives so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you can't find the info you need by Googling the model, just ask about PWDIS or whatever your concern is. There really aren't ever any crazy "gotchas" though with any of the larger externals. If you get a drive that supports PWDIS and your PSU doesn't... you either tape a pin, snip it, or use an adapter, Done. The drive won't power up long enough to do anything, so you'll know right away.
Asking a question you basically know the answer to just because you're hoping for other supporting details is not the way I would play it here. Most SD folks are knowledgeable and willing to share info, but they aren't going to waste their time (usually) with the same questions that get asked every time these are posted.
