just get the WD portable/external hdd, more cheaper than getting this + a dock/enclosure.
Problem with some of the WD portables is the poorly designed ventalation which causes early HDD failures.
I know this happens with mybook which has a RED drive (albeit white label OEM).
Asustor or Qnap nas that have the capability of showing 4K movies through HDMI
Could also connect to your router if it’s half decent
An old PC with FreeNAS
Is this actually a fairly decent price?
Looking at msy and previously posted deals, looks like it. I bought one
It's fine, but exemplifies how badly we get screwwd on HDD prices in Australia. Can import a WD mybook with an 8TB white label drive in it for $250 Aus if time it right and happy to shuck. I got my last lot of four into the country for less than $1000 AUD. This was before the GST on international purchases though.
Only problem with Shucking is that the White Labels although are RED do not have TLER enabled, there is plenty of scenarios which this doesn't matter. If i remember correctly this matters if you use a Hardware RAID, but usually OK for Software RAIDs.
Noob question, what can I stick these in that will store all my home 4k footage
