Found!

I have a bunch of shucked WD enclosures so I am looking for 1 or 2 WD Red internal drives to use them as backup. Alternative, if you have RELIABLE external drive (any brand) I am interested as well. Looking for 4TB or larger only. PM me the make, model, your Heatware, and price please.

I've got two of those myself, and two 2TB WD Blacks to go in them. GL finding what you seek.

Question for you - does any WD drive work in them? I know the on board chip blocks other manufacturer drives but from what I read any WD drives will work.

I read they work fine for basically any SATA drive. I haven't tried the WD blacks in them yet tho.
