WD Home site offers Student/Educator DC w/ edu email. Got this one around 115 FS. These I found out you can connect directly to Smart Tvs and play media. GL!

Are these likely to be WD Red 8TB? If so, it should shuck and work as-is with most PC power. The 14TB I see everyone mentioning are all WD White, which unless I’m wrong, require some fanangling.

No, these work fine as external for Plex or anything else. We shuck them simply because less cords and much higher I/O using it’s native sata3 connection. Plex works with any addressable storage.

In for 2 to shuck. A bit anxious about shucking these with the comments here, but I'll give it a shot. These simply won't support a Plex server as external, right?

My opinion is that mixing models is fine, perhaps even desirable. Of course, you will be chained down by the performance of the slowest drive in most situations.

I think for the shuccc drive, the magic number you are looking for is $14/TB. During BF and Chrismas last year, you may be able to see $12.5/TB.

I'm tempted, because I have the money, and I need the drives. Would save about 7-8% if it were $120 instead of $130. I can't decide if it's worth it to wait or not. I need 5 drives.

Or you can get a small piece of kapton tape and cover up the first 3 pin of the drive.
