Happy Easter everyone!

I'm in the need to some external storage, as a backup for my media on my server.

** No competitor products and prices please **

They seem to be cheaper than the internal equivalent. The 5tb green is 170 quid...

Why is this?
 
I have considered this, but it would make sense if it was a WD drive inside a WD Elements 5TB 3.5" desktop drive?

I don't think the elements have a WD green in them, they are just a standard HDD.

is it self powered from USB port or mains?
 
Yeah it's a 3.5" drive with power supply. It doesn't matter to me if it's a green or not (I always thought the greens were the cheapest in WD line up) standard hd is fine with me. No reason not to then?
