Review on 18 TB External HDD Western Digital WD Elements Desktop, USB 3.0, black by Hideo Kawae ᠌

I bought, disassembled and pulled something out of it, which is called WD White Label on the foreign Internet, claiming that this is the OEM version of the Red Label. Marking WD80EMAZ-00WJTAO in my case. Firmware 83. H0A83 The disk does not turn on by default, the solution is googled on request "3.3V Pin Issue in White Label Disks": you need to isolate one of the power contacts. The disc looks solid, like helium inside (there really is helium). The noise of pancake rotation is almost inaudible (you need to bring your ear directly to the disk), the Toshiba X300 6TB rustles the disks much more strongly (not the heads, just the disks). But it hums a little. Looks exactly like the youtube video "Shucking Opening 8TB WD Elements External Hard Drive HDD White Label Red" The total price is around 1.5 per gigabyte, which IMHO is much cheaper if you just take the HDD.
