You're right, this isn't something any of us would particularly want in a mining rig. Although we're mostly miners, I'd be willing to bet a good percentage of the forum members would also consider themselves to be PC enthusiasts in general, and while this drive might not suit a mining setup, it may fit well into someones plans for, say, a gaming rig. Simply sharing the opportunity for anyone who might want it.
+1 If I had any excuse to buy this I would but I don't need any more space. I think between all the hard drives I have I have about 4 or 5 terabytes of space.
