What's odd is I ordered them 10 mins or so apart (two of the bundles so qty 6 total) and BOTH got screwed up.
So I got the back lid off, how do you properly shuck these, no blue tab on these to easily remove and it looks like the connector will get hung up if I simply try to tip over and remove. Some massaging that needs to be done?

Yeah I am flexing on the opposite side of sata to usb connector near the rubber grommets and I can 'almost' see it wanna come out. I'll get it in a few I'm sure.
GOT it, now just carefully peel back/remove foil and connector and BAM who's your uncle?
EDIT: Yep that did it, easy peasy, THX!

Quick FIO test on the two drives I did receive w/ two hussl4020's for L2ARC/ZIL. FreeNAS AIO, NFS mounted to vSphere and this VM pounding on the datastore/ZFS pool.

root@fio:~#And that is on an ANCIENT Intel sasuc8i (LSI 1068E) which is the ONLY back port facing HBA I had laying arnd that would allow me to button up case, hence WTT thread :-(
Silly HBA only see's 4tb disks as 2.2tb...assuming that is the HBA's deficiencies right, get a 6gbps LSI 2008 chipset in there and bam full disk size correct?
Sure the hell hope so.

LOL, you're preachin' the the choir brotha, I'm a FIRM believer in LSI 2008, prolly flashed over 100+ in my day, this is ALL I had handy/avail and my 9210-8i just wouldn't QUITE make the stretch. Got a replacement/swap H310 OTW.
New Deal today, the 4TB seagate portable drive at Newegg USD 99.99 @ max 5 order code is EMCEKGH35.
That will complete 16 to install with one in the box spare , hopefully not to be used....

16 is a lot, did you get them all at ~100? if so how long did that take to manage?New Deal today, the 4TB seagate portable drive at Newegg USD 99.99 @ max 5 order code is EMCEKGH35.

Bought a couple more too. I need to get 2-2.5" 8 drive hotswap cages to replace the one 8 drive hotswap 3.5 cage in my P4000 Intel case so I can make room for 16 of these eventually.
Even better, new case with 16x2.5" hotswap bays cheaper than the cost of the bays.

they fit in the vantec adapters! but they're 4 per 5.25 only, they do go up to 12 however
Vantec – 12 Bay EZ Swap Mobile Rack - MRK-M2512T - 12 Bay Mobile Rack using Backplane SATA/SAS Technology
Yep, they are the ones that are able to handle the 15mm drive height. I have a Intel P4xxx case with the 8x3.5" hotswap bays I am replacing. I first ordered 2x Intel FUP8X25HSDKS Spare 8x2.5 Hot-Swap Drive Cage to replace the 8x3.5" one but then came across that case with them already there cheaper.
I love these Intel chassis. You can configure them a lot of different ways; pedestal, rack mount, hotswap 8x3.5, 16x2.5, 4x3.5 + 8x2.5. If I can find it, there is another 8x2.5 that takes up a few of the 5.25 bays and all use the mini-sas so easy cable management.

On a side note, it is pretty amazing. Between the deals on all this stuff you can build a dual E5-2670 system with 128GB ram and nearly 60TB of HDD space for around $2700.
Hello Deslok, purchased in three lots, over 7 weeks with the view to hopefully not buying all in one batch, plus was in no hurry, whenever there were pricing deals. Guess the correct term could be cool or cold storage, being run once a month to be the second backup destination. Was planning them to be in a SM 216A chassis or intel 4u sff chassis, and may goto 18 to have 3 vdev of 6 disks in Z2 or 2 vdevs of 8 disks in Z2 .
