sorted byTo be honest, these are a bargain, but if you have any issues their customer service is a nightmare to deal with.
Caveat Emptor...
They've been running around with their hair on fire since the data breach. Their store has been down for the same amount of time - probably just after you made your purchase.
If you paid on credit card, you can just ask your bank for a chargeback. They've the same amount of responsibility to you as the retailer does.
> why is this better than a SSD SATA in an enclosure?
Cheaper. Once in an enclosure, the speed is limited by USB 3 (or 2...) speeds, so SSD or HDD is irrelevant (apart from SSD is more reliable*).
*May or may not be a valid comment. Any drive is prone to corruption or just dying at the worst possible time, but normal HDDs probably more so than SSDs. (edited)
