Posted June 2, 2015 Pretty solid deal on a 5TB External HDD on NewEgg's eBay store page. Most retailers like Amazon recently dropped the price on this drive to $130 (originally $200 range) but NewEgg's price takes the cake.

Posted June 2, 2015 100%. its just a normal desktop drive inside of there. The reason I ask is because Tigerdirect said the same thing to me a year ago. I bought an external WD drive, 1T, and I took it apart to use it and it did not work without the case. I was so disappointed. | The United Empire of Earth Wants You | The Stormborn (ongoing build; 90% done) | Skyrim Mods Recommendations | LTT Blue Forum Theme! | Learning Russian!

Posted June 2, 2015 I done it with a 3tb same housing. heres a video someone else made I can't help but feel that these drives aren't held to the same QC standards as a typical desktop drive which should normally experience more abuse than an external.

Posted June 2, 2015 I can't help but feel that these drives aren't held to the same QC standards as a typical desktop drive which should normally experience more abuse than an external. Your saying a internal drive gets more abused then a external? if you mean in terms of reads and writs then its a reasonable guess but if your talking about static abuse (dropping it/bumping it) well... your wrong (in both cases) a external drive is alright to be dropped from short distances. thanks to the external shell and now moving to the difference between this and a regular internal drive there isn't one there the exact same models you can buy... (not trying to be rude and im not trying to be rude by saying that ive seen people do that ) I have GameServer`s And VOIP servers the only price is that you have fun on them.

Posted June 2, 2015 I can't help but feel that these drives aren't held to the same QC standards as a typical desktop drive which should normally experience more abuse than an external. Its literally a internal drive in a housing. Just how a i7 in a prebuilt is the exact same chip you can buy off shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 2, 2015 I would be somewhat cautious about tat drive if you want to use it as an external. I've had a number of issues (including having to return my within a month of getting it) with the power supply, and thermal design. The drive itself though is seemingly solid (although I have the 2 TB model, so YMMV).

Posted June 3, 2015 Holy mother of .....Man the US is continuing to get some great prices again lately on tech. There was a period of time where I wasn't finding anything at a decent price in the US and found it to be pretty much like the same pricing in Canada but over the last I don't know 3 months or more for sure deals a plenty for the US. My American born kids need to live there one day again so they can get me great deals on stuff. Too many ****ing games!
