Can you use a Seagate Exos X18 as a portable, external drive?
EDIT: The title above should say X20, not X18.
I'm getting a great deal on an Exos X20. However, I don't have a NAS.
What do I need is a reliable, high capacity external HDD that I can use to hoard and carry my data around.
Since these drives use SATA connectors, can you just connect a SATA cable to these drives, plug them into a laptop and use it as an external drive? Would it work?
I have no experience with these helium filled drives and reaching out to the community here to enlighten me whether they could work for the above use case.
