This or the wd 18tb for 200?

I agree. As I get older I want more out of my hobbies than just fun and stress reduction. I want to grow, learn a useful skill, engage with media that resonates with me emotionally. Organizing files accomplishes none of those things. Low value way to spend my time.

Anyone know the exact model of drive?

What are the personal use cases for this? Only thing I know of is photography/video, everything else is work related…
