There's two different models of this hard drive listed, one ending in NESE and one in NESN. Anybody know what the difference is? Both are showing 149.99 for me now

For clarification, am I correct to assume most WD external drives require the 3.3V mod when shucking?

I'd spend more and get a decent NAS.
People usually shuck these to put them in their NAS. They are basically NAS rated Red drives but have a white label and almost half the price.

And how do you suppose you would store your data on that "decent NAS"?

Yes, unless you have a NAS that supports 3.3V, like Synology.

I'd like to know this as well. Can't find any definitive answers.

I'd rather spend $600-700 up front for a decent NAS with 2 decent size hard drives with far superior performance and a peace of mind that my data will be safe (unless my house burns down or a flood incurs).

Data backup is a long term investment.
Synology's cloud solution is $10/year for 100GB of storage. Spend the $600 upfront for a decent NAS, then spend the extra $10/year for the peace of mind if your house burns/floods.

For anyone else reading this, just remember that RAID is NOT a backup.

It will not protect you against ransomwared, accidental file deletion, etc.

RAID is more for failover/uptime, so you can still continue as before when a drive fails.

Am I the only one who cringes when someone refers to extracting a hard drive as "shucking"? Leave it to a term for handling oysters ugh

Would shucking this to use as an internal HDD be a problem since the risk of complete data loss is higher without RAID? And what would similar options but with RAID look like?
