There was the pin 3 issue.
I shucked an 8TB WD, and it didn't work in my computer. I put it in a WD My Cloud (Wish I had gone Synology then, and not his along the way) and it's working fine.
Maybe that issue made people hesitant?
Different customer base. I get that. I've used a few externals over my life, but prefer an external case with bays for multiple drives instead of the single casified external.
Yes. I use the Camel guy. Good app.
$15/TB isn’t quite the price point I was hoping for by now.
Hardly. There are infinite stories of mistakes we've all made. Kind of you to share the warning.
Well over a decade ago, some complained about their speed, thinking they should see closer to 1Gb/s with their set up. I asked them to look at their ethernet connectors, 4 conductor or 8? These were 10/100, just 4 copper wires, as that was enough to get 100Mb/s.
They replied "I am a moron." No they weren't either. Easy to miss something when there are so many bits of stuff going on.
