Seeking Suggestions: 4 x 4 TB WD MyPassport

jonjonijanagan@alien.topB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 11 months ago

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?

Yeah, I was hoping there’s another option than just cold backup. Too bad I can’t just shuck these guys. Thanks for your response. Cheers.
