    I thought green was “eco.” At least the higher-end external ones tend to be red drives, which is famously why people shuck them to use internally because they’re often cheaper than just buying a red bare drive directly, for some reason.

      Correct about the greens. They used to be (might still be) the ones that ran at a lower RPM

      You might be right. Although I think it’s been pretty hit or miss with which drives they use in those enclosures.
