I was too curious and broke the seal. Will actually try to use it, probably for the rare full /home backup every 2 or 3 years, since it needs external power and is probably not that fast. I’d date this artifact late 2000s? It might have USB 2, making it fast enough.
Weird though that I’d buy this and forget about it forever. It definitely cost enough to matter to me back then.
Slim chance but I’d atleast crack it open and find out, and if you don’t want to use it internally perhaps just a new case for it to utilize usb 3 or c. Normally I’d say preserve the whole thing but with drive prices I’d take the drive and use the case as an ashtray.
