At almost half off the cost of a Barracuda with the same storage this seems like a "you get what you pay for" // "too good to be true" type of thing.
Has anyone ever bought one of these off brand super cheap drives, and if so, how did it go?
I'd probably rather get a used drive
I’m guessing this is a used drive put into a case. I have seen some cheap USB drives on Amazon like that lately.
Unless you have lots of data ports why bother with 1tb?
You're spot on, I do have more data ports than I need.
I am only r/datahoarding as the result of a cluster computing // HPC personal project (hobby) I am working on. Old enterprise servers, many many ports.
I've never heard of these, but my interest in piqued
Do they have anything of higher capacity?
Is that 35 CAD?
Some Chinese bullshit that ain’t worth anyone’s time or money
