    Almost posted this the other day they worked out to about $530 if you bought 2

      You thinking of the 18TB drives? If you buy two of these 20TB drives you’ll be hit with import tax, killing the deal.

      • macmanluke on 23/08/2022 - 14:04

        Nope was 20TBs they were less than the 18s at the time (which is why i thought it was cheap but didnt get a chance to verify)

    • Heaps for Cheaps on 23/08/2022 - 13:06

      Why didn't you though?

    Tried to add 2 to cart, says only 1 available.

      Even you can add 2 to the cart, it'll attract import duty. You're better place in 2 separate orders.

  • bondi on 23/08/2022 - 13:32

    Anything over A$1000 will have to pay the import duty tax of 10%, if you buy 2x 20TB HDD in a separate order, then you pay 2x shipping to AU, plus the risk for damaging goods in the delivery. If you are not in the US, you are treated as a 2 class citizen and be dealt with like this in Amazon.

    • itsme56 on 23/08/2022 - 18:39

      Shipping is free. Just add an $9 item and brings it to $613

      Can't comment on the shipping background, but the support from Amazon US was always top notch, I never felt like second class citizen.

  • FuRyZ on 23/08/2022 - 14:00

    The multi-buy is not worth it given the import fees.

    If you add 2 to the cart, it does provide a $77.17 discount. But then it applies $192.92 in import fees.

    So 1 drive is $643.09 total, but 2 drives are $1401.93.

    • vrsac on 23/08/2022 - 16:34

      I think that the special price applies to any two qualifying items - hard drive + something else (as per example item in OP), meaning it doesn't have to be a 2nd hard disk.

      Read full deal. 1 drive is $613

    Iirc from ozb comments: the way Amazon US packs bare drives is less safe than a condom with a hole in it

    • B3 on 23/08/2022 - 14:58

      I've had probably 20 hard drives delivered by Amazon, nearly all from overseas, with zero issues or problems. The drives are in their own box which is in another box. Things would have to go pretty badly wrong to damage a drive from what I've seen.

      Like many things on the internet the people who have had bad experiences get wroked up, go beserk and tell everyone they know. The people with good experiences are very relaxed about the issue because as far as they're concerned there is no issue, and tend to stay quiet.

      • justtoreply on 23/08/2022 - 15:46

        Bare drives? There is no "own box" for an oem drive..!

        Shipped and sold by Amazon USA specifically? Amazon UK etc don't have the issue afaik.

        • B3 on 23/08/2022 - 16:49

          Each individual drive is in an anti static cover and held by plastic holders inside a cardboard box.

          https://www.reflexpackaging.com/reflex-cushions?lightbox=dat…

          That cardboard box is put into another cardboard box for more protection. I but from both Amazon USA and UK, my most recent experience less than a week ago was from the USA.

          Amazon drive safety concerns are a non issue in my extensive experience but feel free to ignore that if you must.

          • justtoreply on 23/08/2022 - 16:57

            @B3: It helps. beatsntoons didn't have that experience. The ymmv is a bit much for me.

    • Click_It on 23/08/2022 - 15:42

      I've had probably 20 condoms delivered by Amazon, most didn't have holes in them. The condoms are for a box and can also go in another box. The people with good experiences are very relaxed about the issue because as far as they're concerned there is no issue, and tend to be vocal.

      • justtoreply on 23/08/2022 - 15:48

        Were the ones with holes customer returns?

          Well, that's a very sticky topic.

    • beatsntoons on 23/08/2022 - 16:54

      I had my last 18TB drive sent by Amazon UK floating around in a big box. Weirdly I checked it and it passed about 4 days of exhaustive testing
      Still they said to send it back if there’s a hint of trouble which I will do (already transferred things to it by the time I got in touch with them so cbf sending it back then)

  • mralvinwong on 23/08/2022 - 14:32

    Great drives. I use their 8TB version on my system. Sadly the system doesn't take more than 10TB drives. And also, don't really wanna risk 20TB of storage on a single drive. if anything happens, RIP my life. lol

    • sachz on 23/08/2022 - 20:04

      u use these in NAS's, imagine 4 of these in a RAID 5 config, thats 60TB of data…. enuff to download the internet, 3 times over.

      • Click_It on 23/08/2022 - 20:26

        Except that you'd never want to use these in a RAID 5 array. Capacity has left that option behind.

        • tm001 on 23/08/2022 - 23:51

          Why not? I am using the WD 18TB drives from the last deal in RAID 5.
          Can you elaborate on the last sentence? Are you referring to a particular system that cannot handle 20TB HDDs?
          Otherwise, the RAID has nothing to do with the capacity as such. I had RAID when 2TB HDDs were as costly as 20TB HDDs today. You always loose 1/N of the capacity of your drives. Irrespective of what they are 2 or 20TB. Running 20TB bare drive is bit risky, even for stuff you can replace easily - 20TB is a lot of data transfer.

            @tm001: I think you'll find he's talking about parity resilver time.
            The longer a rebuild takes, the higher the chance of one of the other drives failing during that rebuild, given every sector of every drive participating contributes to the rebuild.

            Only a single sector read needs to fail on a single drive for the rebuild to fail entirely.

            • MdMa7 on 24/08/2022 - 10:02

              @thedean: So what's the best way to go in your opinion?

              I'm looking to build a new NAS in the not to distant future, probably running TrueNAS and was thinking of RAIDz1 or RAIDz2.

              • thedean on 24/08/2022 - 10:04

                @MdMa7: For me, I use Unraid.
                The rebuild failing issue is still present for huge capacity array's, but the way unraid stores data means that you would only lose the data on the drive that fails rather than lose the whole array, which is the main concern on a failed rebuild on RAID5.

                • MdMa7 on 24/08/2022 - 10:26

                  @thedean: You may have swayed me… I'll at least give Unraid's free trial a go, thanks mate.

                  • thedean on 24/08/2022 - 10:28

                    @MdMa7: The big con with unraid is write / read speed.
                    You are limited by your cache speed and capacity for writes. For reading, instead of getting drivespeed x drivenumber, you only get a single drives read speed.

                    For most people running gigabit LAN unraid, they aren't going to saturate that speed anyway.
                    Feel free to DM me if you have any questions on Unraid.
