It's called shucking and it happens a lot especially in the home server home lab community.
learn something new every day :)
It’s a bummer that hard drives are priced this way. It’s been common for a few decades now.
The best ones for this are the ones from Best Buy. Easystore.
Don't you think it's wild that a hard drive, which is just chilling inside its case, suddenly has its innards spilled out using a screwdriver, and dumped into a 24/7 NAS with other hard disks.
A bit inhumane if you ask me.
It's totally inhumane but also no living thing was harmed, so - all good.
Just that those ext disk aren’t built for 24/7 usage. They will die faster and generate bigger costs over time 😉
My oldest ones have been running 24/7 since 2018 and tons of people have been doing the same. Where's your data to suggest that these drives fail faster than any other?
If you look around and are informed then you can easily purchase drives that are designed for Nas use. I shucked three eight terabyte Western digital external hard drives and they were all WD reds, but because of the deal they were running they were $60 a piece cheaper inside of the shell than they were outside of the shell.
