was looking around for a new hard drive and noticed amazon dropped their prices.
3tb for US $109 plus $13.81 for shipping to Sydney
its around AU $157.23. its sad to see the AU$ this low but its great buy if you have amazon gift cards
they had the 4 tb for $120 but its seem its oust of stock/ or the price just changed.
CamelCamelCamel.
Where do you guys buy AU power plug for WD drives from US? I have US to AU plug adapter but I still prefer to have a proper AU plug.
From eBay or aliexpress

I usually buy the replacement head for around $5 but can't see it any more in eBay
Thanks :)
Does anyone know how the warranty works if we buy from Amazon? Do we have to return the unit back to them or can we do it through WD Australia?
If it's still within 1 year of your purchase date, Amazon will take care of it for you. Amazon support is excellent (especially their live chat support)
If it's over 1 year, you will need to return it to WD US. This is a bit hit and miss because you need to:
- create a ticket via WD system
- Run WD diagnostic utilities and post result to the ticket, etc
- they will issue an RMA number and you will need to ship it back at your own cost.
It sounds scary but this is the standard warranty procedures.
Can these WD drivers be opened up and used as desktop drives still?
Last time i did this was a couple of years ago, just wanting to check…
I noticed the notebook size HDDs don't have sata port, so natively USB3.0 so can't mount them on sata slots.
