Are these made by any of the big hard drive makers or are they made by another company altogether I see 6tb wl drives on ebay for $150 which would make them the cheapest 6tb drives on the market. A hard drive contains at least a couple of electric motors, and these suffer the most stress during spinup The longer the moving parts of the motor stay stationary relative to each other, the more likely that the motor will seize upon being repowered A hard drives weakness for archival storage is just that, it may not spin up when you need. I've just learned about this idea
So what are the pro's and con's of doing this Are the shucked drives high quality Does this really save money over buying a raw external hdd?
