Shucked it; can't return now.. Broke too many pins. lol.... Have you tried EXT4 noatime or BTRFS on SMR drives? I've never used ZFS which supposedly to guard against bit rot.

Really starting to regret not jumping on that 14TB sale...

Seems just meh, for a basic 8TB storage, especially if it's SMR like one person said. Certainly not FP worthy. For WB white label 8TB it'd be a better deal. Believe he might be talking about...

Have you ever seen any incredible deals that are closer to around $100-$115 or so for any reasonably “good” external HDD that’re (at least) 8tb or more?

Because it's an overpriced piece of garbage. :peace: Leave the real datahoarding to the pros. I guess somebody has to buy it? Imagine buying a drive that you could never shuck or even use legacy USB...

Any experience with this drive for an xbox?

Can't stress this enough. Avoid the SMR headache at all cost.

Lol what are you talking about?

I remember reading about plastic cases to store hard drives no longer in use. I can't recall if it was hobby lobby or Michael's. Can anyone chime in?
Post #141540812 added 10-25-2020 9:03 PM by DoobieBrother in Deal Talk
Not good for a boot or nas drive if you plant to shuck it.. Not a great drive for any thing other than archive uses.. many writes to the drive is bad.. many reads not so bad... There was a...

We have this exact drive connected to an Xbox One. Works just fine without issues. Has been connected for several years now.

I use this drive as a backup for my files. No problems after several years. I have two identical drives and write everything to both drives.

It is an okay deal if you want an SMR drive. Earlier this year staples has the seagate expansion hard drive for $95 after coupon and it worked for me fine on my desktop as long as you are not...

Does not work with PlayStation since it’s a hub. Thankfully Costco has a great return policy.

These newer SMR drives support TRIM which is a more efficient way to work with these types of drives. With that said, there needs to be some better OS support for SMR. They are really good...

This needs a powersupply in order to use it. It's not so portable as the typical plug-n-play pure USB powered drives

You'll be lucky to get 1 TB of SSD storage for this price. 8 TB of SSD costs well over $1,000.
Post #141629213 added 10-28-2020 3:44 PM by DrGreenthumb in Deal Talk
Isn’t this the same price they always have it at over the past couple years?

Never going to buy a Seagate harddrive ever again. I have bought Seagate and WD hard drives the past 15 or 20 yrs. I swear all the WD drives i bought are still going.. the Seagate ones have failed. I...

I like what you said. There's a lot of responses back and forth on whether WD is superior or Seagate is superior, in the end, they both can/will/may die. We all need to make a backup of a backup...

It kind of depends on your use case though. I wouldn't put it in my ZFS pool, but in my Unraid with a SSD cache, the limitations of these drives aren't even noticeable as long as you aren't filling...
Post #141907439 added 11-05-2020 8:37 PM by RyanL in Deal Talk
That's the thing, you can't tell. But just about all drives this size and larger are SMR now unless you spend a bunch on enterprise drives. Edit: Anyone know exactly when or how a SMR drive slows...

Shuckling external usb hdd is easy. Just need 4 used cc or giftcard 😁. If you are not comfortable. Just return it as you already did👌
Post #141581621 added 10-27-2020 8:58 AM by dirtbag88 in Deal Talk
No kidding. Show me an 8tb portable drive like the original poster is describing.
Post #141623894 added 10-28-2020 1:05 PM by Cpt_Nemo in Deal Talk
As someone who owns a 4TB NAS the only thing I would mention is considering how much storage you need. Because unless you're planning on filling that up within the next few years, it might be a...

I have bought two of these and they work flawlessly for what they are designed for which is a BIG archive/backup disk. I run a 12TB multi-drive unraid and back it up to this drive in another...

Here's some info on that subject. Nobody should have given you a thumbs down. It was a helpful comment. https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/Storage/PMR_SMR_hard_disk_drives

I will never buy seagate drives. I had one fail on me at under a year old. Samsung or WD drives only even if the cost more.

Funny how a few years ago everyone was saying how cheap spinning platter drives would be (loads of people on this site were saying that drives like this would be $50). FF to now and they're still...

Not having xbox. Is writing a big chunck hundreds of Mbytes mostly? If yes. WD non SMR is a good candidate😁

I had 2 of these from the same lot fail on me quickly. Then I purchased 2 6GB models that someone shucked and replaced with bad drives. I have had bad luck with Seagate recently, though not their...

FWIW, I have had 3 WD Black 2TB drives fail within 3 years of purchase, which to me is a pretty bad statistic. I bought 2 at the same time, one died after 2.5 years, the other at 3 years. The...

This is advertised in the mailer that they send out to members. I did not see anything for the 5tb portable hard drive.
