Okay, this is all interesting speculation! I'd love to get a dump of that EEPROM. Feel free to dismiss all of this as speculation on my part: First, Hosts issue commands that alter the drive's behavior via the SATA bus. Thanks. No not likely if the heads were depopped. Fourth, as I alluded to in my previous post, it would seem simpler to manufacture all drives on the production line with identical internal components, so that the process of manufacturing a drive on the production line allows it to be used in any one of many deployments, rather than restricting an entire production run to a particular use. List of all WD firmware and software available for download. I have always used 5400rpm drives in RAID1 and the speeds are enough even for multiple virtual machines.

I'm guessing that the controller board is actually more complicated than your garden-variety USB-SATA dongle and that it serves some more advanced purpose, such as control of the drive's internal firmware. It would make sense to manufacture all drives to be the same internally, and to use an external control interface to change their feature set at the time of packaging. or you're paying for the statistical analysis / MTBF predictions based on careful testing. People have theories that the drives sold as external drives didn't pass as many quality checks so they are put in a case and sold cheaper and with a shorter warranty.

Second, (I'm going off into the weeds now) the industry is actively engaged in bringing a new command superset to SATA/SAS in order to market Host-Managed SMR over the SATA/SAS interfaces. Conventional hard disk drives record data by writing non-overlapping magnetic tracks parallel to each other (perpendicular recording), while shingled recording writes new tracks that overlap part of the previously written magnetic track, leaving the previous track narrower and allowing for higher track density. That would also explain why it appears to be the same mechanism, and why they sell these things so cheap -- if they're basically rejects from the HC520 production line, they're a sunk-cost and wrapping them in Easystore plastic is a way to recover cost by selling them into a less-demanding market. 2 12tb for 180 each on black Friday is almost here and we 're trying really hard to.
