Additionally, the 7,200 RPM spindle speed and 192MB cache should offer stable performance for demanding tasks, whether for personal use, professional environments, or creative projects.

Tom, we've been friends for awhile now- please start listing prices in $ / TB. Your dedication to GB is admirable, but it's getting a little ridiculous when you can't accurately present the price.
This drive does NOT work without a plug-in power source, don't mislead people.
That's why I personally couldn't buy anything over 5tb for a decade. A 6TB 2.5" came out this year from WD.

I have one of these. Indeed with eternal ower wart (which I consider a good thing given unpowered USB hubs).
it also used ancient USB to USB-3 connectors. Sadly no normal USB-C on either side, so you might need convertors when connecting it to a modern setup.
