Bought that because it's 18TB, and it's a 7,200rpm and USB-C.
The My Book is cheaper (but hardware encryption so if the enclosure dies you lose everything) and the Elements is cheaper still (but a much slower disk and older USB too).
This one I'll get to 80% full immediately, but it retires the toil of using 5 older 4TB drives and having to apportion part of the backup to each drive manually (these are my external cold backup drives).
Finally bought another backup drive... needed moar space in a single HDD and would like to backup and restore quicker.
