Replacement for pidrive from wdlabs?

Discussion Projects

Now that Western Digital has shut down WDLabs and no longer sells the PiDrive, are there any other similar products? If there isn’t, would Pimoroni consider creating something similar?

Things I liked about the PiDrive:

  • Small hard disk with sizes ranging from 375GB on up for a very reasonable price point

  • USB powered

  • Y- cable for shared power from one USB source

  • Small cases for the drives, or combinations of the drive plus a Pi

I wish we would- but it’s one of those things where the cost of development versus potential market equation might be slightly wonky so it’s just not worth persuing. I use a PiDrive at home and in the office as my main development Pi, so I totally appreciate their worth!
