Guide me o wise ones!

Thanks to this sub I shelled out some cash and got a 12tb hard drive last year. No problems other than transfer speed seems kind of slow. Little more than half full.

I think I'd like to back up everything now. I won't be at a loss if it all disappears, this is just for peace of mind and to prevent any inconvenience. The drive I bought last year for $90 is now $180. I bought from Go hard drive on eBay and just found they don't have a good reputation here. Back to the drawing board.

I found the hard drive below but I don't know what to make of it. I think it may be a "white label" drive but info is sparse. It's pretty much the cheapest (I am poor) but I'll only spin it up occasionally.

What am I looking at and what should I expect from it? Is it ok to buy? I can get by on 10tb if anyone has any recommendations.

Thank you!
