    Bargain thanks guys :)

    Can i take out the hard drives, put them in my N54L NAS, and then put some smaller drives back in the WD Enclosure?

    • 51722 on 15/08/2014 - 18:44

      Yes. Should be possible.

  • tastech on 15/08/2014 - 18:02

    deal looks fair dinkum, i check my order via the wdc.com site, its there

  • BigLeviathan on 15/08/2014 - 19:03

    Argh…. at the end decided to buy 6TB…. buy now, consequence later :p

  • AbsolutZero on 15/08/2014 - 19:35

    bought 2x 8TB :D

  • kbk on 15/08/2014 - 19:51

    Bought one OP. Hope they fulfill all the orders

  • Eeples on 15/08/2014 - 19:58

    I think they will only fulfill some orders.

    http://store.westerndigital.com/store/wdau/en_AU/DisplayProd…

    ..only shows 6GB ones left in stock. (4,8 and 12 shown on similar pages as out of stock)

    So, I would think it is safer to buy the 6GB version to avoid disappointment. (even though you can buy the 4,8 and 12 versions using the 'trick')

    • msmhw on 15/08/2014 - 20:12

      this is different item , not the same hard drive, different model

    Haven't even set up my Microserver yet and now I have this as well. Ummed and aarghed and then thought that I will definitely put it to good use.

      it might feel weird at first but you need to spend money in order to save money and OzB doesn't disappoint in that aspect

    Can I simply use this as storage for media which I then use Plex running on a computer?

    • Max on 15/08/2014 - 22:23

      Yes, you can.

      • bosanceros on 15/08/2014 - 23:12

        How will the media be streamed/transcoded? It will be using my computer for the heavy lifting right?

  • ironworthy on 15/08/2014 - 21:36

    Wonder how many have bought. Surprised it's still in stock. I sense some disappointment coming along

    • tukanglistrik on 15/08/2014 - 22:06

      This is WD's own website, not a reseller. Thousands of units are nothing for them.

  • chutibuti on 15/08/2014 - 21:43

    First bought something.. !!! now i am thinking what i bought..!!.. Oppsss another HDD to my collection..!!

  • docpol on 15/08/2014 - 22:04

    Oh well, a bit hesitant because of the slow speed but wanted to try NAS so I just got the 6TB. Hopefully I won't regret it given the mixed reviews in Amazon. Cheers OP, I think…

  • icecream on 15/08/2014 - 22:29

    Anyone know how long is the warranty?

  • scottb721 on 15/08/2014 - 22:30

    The Mobile Apps tab of the product page speaks of remote access to files but says you need to be using "An iPhone, iPad or iPod"

    Isn't there any Android support for remote access ?

  • doze on 15/08/2014 - 22:32

    Thanks OP, ordered the 6TB My Book Live Duo. Going to run as a mirrored RAID 1 array for network backups and media server. Worthy upgrade to my current single drive 2TB My Book Live.

  • tehoriginal on 16/08/2014 - 13:03

    Is any aspect of this sale on still ?? I want one but it doesnt have to be 8TB

  • darkjazz on 17/08/2014 - 10:42

    It has green label HDDs, for a stable home NAS you better get Red label ones.

  • Twisty on 18/08/2014 - 07:43

    How long before they ship??

    • Reddog888 on 18/08/2014 - 10:52

      Only after your money deposited in a fixed term account makes up the difference between what you paid and the RRP, so …. around 2065 I believe.

      Now, realistically, given the number sold, I would say optimistically they should be shipped later this week.

    • alvian on 18/08/2014 - 10:53

    Well I got a lovely email. My order was cancelled due to non-payment!!!

    I paid via paypal on Friday and after 3 days of NON-payment they cancelled.

    To top it off the email says if I still want it, re-order. That's all fine and dandy but they are OUT OF STOCK!

    Fanbloodytastic. I've waited so long for an offer like this that I could afford.

        Under Payment Instructions:

        We have received confirmation of your payment from Paypal. Thank you for your purchase. Payment is handled on behalf of Western Digital APAC by Digital River, Inc.

        I also have emails 15th Aug 2014 acknowledging: Order Submitted, Receipt For Payment & Order Confirmation and then today 18th Aug 2014 cancelling the order due to non-payment for 3 days.

        On the WD Checkout page one of the options is PAYPAL. Order something, go to checkout and you'll see it. [cancel the order, of course]

          @Thatwey:
          After many calls, including failed ones from bad numbers in the emails, it's finally satisfactorily sorted.

          It turns out the "order cancelled" email was for a different order number than my order, verification and paypal emails.

          How, why? Dunno. But at least my order went through and "has been posted"(?)

          Hopefully posted already. I'll report back here.

          Thanks to apnamasti and tchi6 for replies. :-)

    I got an email late last night to say my 4TB My Book Studio has shipped. It's missing a tracking number. No sign of the 8TB My Book Live Duo which was a separate order. I did get an email order confirmation for it though.

    Has anyone successfully logged in to the online order tracking? I created an account and changed my password but it still say my order number or email is incorrect!

      It also had no tracking number, but it says that it left the warehouse on the 15/8.

      • Reddog888 on 20/08/2014 - 20:07

        Mate, it has only been a matter of a few days since the orders were placed, no doubt they are also overwhelmed with the number of orders due to being OZBargained. Let's be realistic here and have patience. Don't jump to conclusions and 'I told you so' responses, they are not warranted …. yet.

      • ElWircho on 21/08/2014 - 07:22

        Why you do get a negative vote?
        Because nobody likes the hysterical lady in an airplane during turbulence that keeps screaming "We are all gonna die", that's why.

  • 51722 on 20/08/2014 - 10:24

    Just called CS (They forgot to put me on hold and I could hear the conversation they were having about food while the computer was "processing" my details for 5 minutes).

    The lady said that the shipping confirmation should happen within the next 24 hours. Will see if they ship on time.

    • snufl on 20/08/2014 - 11:13

      Well there goes my theory. I did not phone about my order. My theory was that the time saved taking my call would be spent packing and sending my order - not planning the lunch order :)

      the people who are calling make things worst for everyone, it makes them aware of the mistake or the problem if there is any.
      just be patience and every thing should be good, worst thing will happen you will get your money back. I dont understand the people calling regards their orders. is it that hard to wait?

    • Freegs on 20/08/2014 - 15:49

      Don't think anyone got theirs? I guess they are just going through and refunding everyone now. Probably taking them some time. Can't complain I guess, was a workaround on their site.

      "Your card will not be charged until the item ships" - mine got charged 5 days ago. Nothing shipped. They need to refund me soon if they are not shipping.
