Also, before I bought this drive, I watched on youtube guys that bought the device, and shared their experience. I recommend doing that for anyone that buys something like this.

I'm not sure if they would be the best for a Plex server being on all the time, but the speed should be fine, and if you either have the media backed up or don't care that much in that regard, sure... (at least for personal use)....

I agree with you on that. I trust it for extra backup and use as cold storage. I'm not sure for 24/7 use or to shuck and put in NAS/DAS. Many of us use enterprise drives for NAS/DAS because they are made for 24/7 use. But I guess , if you put it in NAS/DAS and just turn it on for quick transfer or backup ... onto faster media SSD/NVMe, and then turn off NAS/DAS that might be good too. I hardly use my nas/das except to just backup/transfer ... I used to use NAS/DAS for 24/7 use, but I prefer much fast NVMe/SSD instead. But I'm a home user, so businesses have different uses for hard drives.

But I'm a home user, so businesses have different uses for hard drives.
But I travel a lot, so it's nice to "consolidate" a lot of the old spinners as I have over the years, adhere to the 3-2-1 backup plan, (more like 5-4-3-2-1 at this point as I hate losing stuff and probably digitally hoard to much, but my work requires more storage needs than most.)....
So hey, once in awhile if things change on drives etc, or I'm leaving town for a bit, or whatever, I just CCC them over to a larger drive like this and others in different places and am confident that they aren't all gonna fail, and it's more an insurance policy than a daily driver situation. They tend to get put on the shelf and implemented as needed.
But if it was stuff I wasn't that worried about or had backed up, I'm sure they will be fine for a reasonable period, I don't plan on shucking it and trusting it in a nas/das scenario myself... But with the way things are going, perhaps it will $10-20 cheaper next month, or possibly $50 more... doesn't matter so much as I just kinda need it "now" for those reasons, and I'm not too worried about it being a pos, as it's redundancy and consolidation...
but again, sure wish I had stocked up more 3 years ago or whatever before all the nonsense that is going on across many levels. Oh well.

what software or arrangment can i make to use one drive doing backups for a few computers,
while the second one periodically backsup the first unit for me?
maybe some of you already do this.

There was a period I was buying them off SPD instead of shucking, but their prices have INCREASED vs 3-4 years ago for the same size, and external HDDs have come down.

But times have changed, and WD does a lot of shady business now, ... so sort of keep an eye on Youtube for guys that share current hard drive and NAS issues. I did buy 2 of these 26TB seagates, but I NOW keep them in enclosure and use as cold storage. And use NVMe/SSD has main drives I use on daily basis. I know a number of us that got burned with the scandals in the past , hold grudges. But it seems WD is now under the gun for scandals. So the waters are deep and have undercurrents. Stay safe. I'm trying to do that.

I'm probably panic buying since all the storage stocks are going up due to AI storage hype.
It was a whole one thousand megabytes!
