Looks like they were on for $114 last week. I know the 8TB version is SMR, but does anyone know if this 5TB version is PMR or SMR?
December 3, 201510 yr Isnt there some risk with cracking open external drives? Do you just keep the cage just in case?
December 3, 201510 yr Isnt there some risk with cracking open external drives? Do you just keep the cage just in case? As soon as you open the case you void the warranty. So that's something to keep in mind. Be sure to do the preclear on the drive before removing it from the clamshell.
