Hi folks,
Hope you’re having a lovely day.
Looking for suggestions on what to do with 4 x 4TB Western Digital My Passport. I used to use rock these bad boys before I made the jump to Synology NAS.
What do you guys do with old external hard drives?

Woah, do you know any database of which kinda external drives are fucked like this?
The only manufacturers left are WD, Toshiba and Seagate.
WD and Toshiba have the USB interface integrated in the mainboard. Seagate 2.5" externals are regular SATA drives with a detachable interface.
All other third party externals can have drives from any of the manufacturers and may vary from time to time.
Sandisk Pro/G-Tech/G-Technology is owned by WD and LaCie is owned by Seagate.
Pretty much, most of the 2.5s are like that. The ones that are marketed as external drives. let me correct myself on that bit.
