Word for the wise, those externals usually won't last 5+ years of constant use as an internal.

    I've got 6 in a random mix of brands (Seagate and WD) 8-16Tb that are all older than that. Running 24/7 storing mostly random shit I download. Pulled one out recently because the USB controller died. Still works in a different enclosure now.

    I'd definitely have a different setup for data I actually cared about.
