Still way too expensive to be an alternative to use as mass-storage. A 4TB WD MyPassport is available for $110 MSRP. Or you could get a 18TB WD Elements for $390 MSRP. And then get a cheaper 256-500GB external SSD for your workfiles you constantly use, if your internal SSD isn't big enough.

Correct. And the 5GB WD model was recently $99 on Amazon.For me to buy the price needs to be $50/TB. Until then I'm fine with spinners for mass storage and back up.
