    I just bought a 5TB Seagate HDD and I found this video which is so helpfull. I haven't opened it yet but happy with my choice so far and your videa ascertain that. Please make a videa of HDD vs SDD which one is better and why. You already got one more new subscriber here. Thank you.

    A plastic case might actually save a drive better than a metal case during a fall - as it will absorb some of the shock by breaking apart. A strong metal one, where the drive is attached firmly to it (no shock absorbers) will probably transmit most of the shock to the HDD inside. Am I right?

      The plastic would absorb some kinetic energy yes, but the difference would be small. The drive would still slam into the floor and risk magnetic head damage. I honestly would suggest that you skip all mechanical drives. They are pretty much always shingled drives now, which means super slow. And they are always fragile.
      Use a M.2 NVMe (NOT SATA!) enclosure and a QLC (quad level cell) SSD instead. The advantages are extreme durability (relaxing), low power usage (USB is all you need), high speed, high random read/write seek access, silent operation, and upgradeable drive. All those advantages are worth the slight extra. What is your data safety worth to you?

    Hi. A bit of an unrelated question but im hoping you could help.
    I have an old 1tb external hard drive that i believe has a bad port. I have tried 2 different cables and sometimes works but keeps connecting and disconnecting. The cable has a bit of play in the hard drive port which i think is causing this.
    I have ordered new 4tb hard drive but i am wondering is there anything i can do to stabilise the connection so i can transfer the files? Sketchy or not. I just want to be able to get the files off it.
    Thanks.

    So I can take HDD out of the Seagate Portable enclosure and install it in my PC and use it as a regular drive?
