Oddly enough, I had gotten these drives originally a couple years ago to go in a 1U Supermicro "twin" machine, with 8 drive bays split across two physical machines in a 1U chassis. Then the cheap hosting for that fell through and they just sat in a box. Came across them while cleaning the garage and put them into service. I think these are the Toshiba drives. Seems like 2TB is still as big as you can go on laptop form factor spinning drives.

I read somewhere on Reddit's r/DataHoarder that they might be moving away from a SATA connector on their portable drives though…
