My local Walmart just had a 6TB WD Portable drive on clearance for 150. It's USB powered, not shuckable into a SATA but I think this 6TB could tide me over until prices calm down.

This looks too good to be true But I've heard of some drives being unshuckable due to some kind of USB bridge being locked, meaning I can't shuck this and hook it straight up to a SATA cable.

Can anyone confirm this? The 24TB model is double the price.
