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

😱 so maybe for certain people then? What seller is it from?
Sold & shipped by Amazon, new, 4-5 weeks delivery. I just checked again. $224 from a different seller is on the main page, but the Amazon option's still available under "Other sellers on Amazon." Maybe it's under "other" because of the 4-5 week delivery?
They asked "is it shuckable" (which is always yes for these) but really wanted to know about any "gotchas" for when the drive was shucked. So just ask that in the first place and people will be more inclined to answer and share their experience vs the "yes" that it's otherwise going to be every time because people are tired of answering.
Hopefully that explanation makes you understand why I posted what I did. If I just wanted to be toxic, I wouldn't have bothered adding so many details about the actual drive enclosed.
I also don't even think the tone of my response was at all aggressive. If you think that post is an example of "toxicity", I'd love to know where/why. Also, you're going to be in for a rude awakening here and on the internet forums at large.
Lol. K
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.
BTW, WD has gotten into the habit of marketing the outside cover of the enclosures (black) as a way to imply that a WD-Black HDD is inside.
WD-Black drives have 5 yr warranties and are higher cost devices due to the added engineering involved to meet that warranty. I have 3 WD-Black HDDs. 2 are over 10 yrs old and show ZERO issues in their SMART data. Last fall, I picked up an 8TB Black for what I though was a deal at the time, model: WD8002FZWX-00BKUA0. Most of my primary storage HDDs are Gold/DC models from WD/Hitachi. They all have over 5 yrs of run time and don't appear to show any issues in the SMART data. I've gotten my money's worth from them, unlike so many lesser quality/lower warrantied HDDs from nearly all vendors (Seagate/Hitachi/WD and others).
Have some 320GB and 300GB Seagate HDDs that are nearly 20 yrs old now - still running well too. Something drastic changed in Seagate engineering when they started making 650GB and larger disks. I've had a few Seagate 2TB HDDs fail right around 1 yr after purchase. One just before the warranty expired and 1 just after. Extremely disappointed by that vendor.
I've had a high opinion of WD quality for years but I'm afraid it may no longer be warranted.
