Specifically a WD Elements (22gb).

Thanks!

    There was the pin 3 issue.

    I shucked an 8TB WD, and it didn’t work in my computer. I put it in a WD My Cloud (Wish I had gone Synology then, and not his along the way) and it’s working fine.

    Maybe that issue made people hesitant?

      If you mean the 3.3v pin, I wouldn’t classify that issue as a “was” quite yet.

      My most modern PSU is a Corsair RM850x, released June 2022 according to the shop page. Now maybe Corsair actually makes shit hardware; I’m no expert. But in any case, I have a pretty freakin new power supply that needs tape.

      So honestly, I’d say the misinformation is that the pin issue ever went away.

      Yeah, funny enough, the DAS boxes I’ve used always bypass the pin issue. Or I guess I should say that they function properly.
