Oh, these are NOT the desktop size, aka "Shuckable" for NAS or servers or whatnot. Oh well. Thank you anyways.

Edit: $90 for a 5TB "Portable External" IS a good price. I paid $110 I think, on sale, for some 5TB Portable External Seagate drives, and I'd personally rather have WD drives.

They have the 12TB for $180...don't know if it is a red drive though.

Nice find for a 2.5" drive. And you can shuck these as well, but the external case will be mangled and the drive may be thicker than the usual 7/9/whatever mm 2.5" drives are these days. 2 year warranty isn't bad either.

Do these have active encryption like the My Passport or MyBook drives?
