WD externals were extremely popular a few years ago because they contained standard WD Reds at $20 under normal market rate. Really easy to shuck the case and slap it in your NAS. I bought about a dozen myself. Of course the people who did what burned you ruined it for the rest of us, and now they build the externals with custom pinouts on the drives.
