What's actually inside
Users who've shucked (opened the
enclosure) have found a
WD180EMFZ, which identifies as a
Hitachi Ultrastar DC HC550,
running at 540O RPM Best Buy - not
a 7200 RPM drive despite some
listings implying otherwise. It's a
white-label drive, not a proper WD
Red or Gold.
The shucking situation has gotten
Worse
These drives require a 3.3V pin
bypass to spin up if you pull the
drive and install it in a PCor NAS
you either tape pin 3 on the SATA
adapter.
