Hey, I live in Germany and if anyone has some time, would love to get a recommendation for a usb drive and a 5,25" one. Thank you in advance 
 
 
I bought the Verbatim 43888 a couple of days ago; be carefull not to buy a 43889 (box looks very similar).
43888 works out-of-the box.
First try gave me SCSI errors - maybe the other usb port hasn't provided enough power. (I use a very small nuc)

Read your PM.
 
I got the drive and the enclosure only thing I'm waiting for is the adapter for the powerplug that will arrive tomorrow.

			Hey Cooper, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for me. I am in the US and looking for a second internal drive. I have a WH16NS60 which works okay, but is prone to SCSI errors. UHD support would be nice, but isn't completely necessary.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I am purchasing your suggestion.
Regarding the flasher you mentioned, can it be run on Linux?

You will need a Windows PC.

You need to tell what you have or what you want plus your country of residence.
