    I ordered a Seagate 10TB from a previous Amazon deal in Feb 2019.

    I am still waiting for it to arrive.

    I lodged an enquiry with Amazon who replied that they’re still sourcing stock.

    Perhaps I should cancel and order this WD?

    • O O on 23/04/2019 - 17:14

      It's quite possible oversold. Some early birds already got their dirves.

      Just delivered. Pretty impressed with the order-to-delivered speed!

      • etchomojay on 24/04/2019 - 09:33

        It was hard work shucking that drive. The Elements was a dreamboat in comparison.

    • Mister Plod on 23/04/2019 - 17:16

      My WD 10TB from the last deal arrived today, works fine https://i.imgur.com/n4Y0J3g.jpg

      It wouldn't show up in windows, so I had to go into disk manager and give it a drive letter. Not sure if it's because of the exfat file system it comes with, or just my PC being weird. Would be interesting to know if others had this issue.

        Got my 2 today, no issues showed up instantly, currently scanning.

        • Azmunga on 23/04/2019 - 19:13

          Really? You've got your already and mine says it's dispatching 15th of May.

          Although to be honest I ordered it with something else as well, so not an apples to apples comparison.

          • wumpushunt on 23/04/2019 - 19:19

            @Azmunga: Mine said it was going to be delivered 30th April-3 May

            And yet it turned up today…

            Guess I shouldn't complain, except for the grumpy delivery guy who wondered why I wasn't home (was at work), so had to get left in a public place…

          Same here. Waiting since end of Feb and it was coming mid April and then all of sudden, they changed the delivery info to waiting on supplier, with no ETA on a new postage date. I contacted them directly and they said there's nothing they can do…

    • scuderiarmani on 23/04/2019 - 17:32

        Got an email from Amazon saying delivery unknown as they still have no supply source for the Seagate 10tb after 2 months so I cancelled and ordered these ones

      Same. Still waiting. They are trying to put wait the orders. So I’m going to hold it.

    • AustriaBargain on 23/04/2019 - 22:31

      I was disappointed to miss the Seagate deal and have been wondering why it hasn't reappeared.

  • Mechz on 23/04/2019 - 17:17

    Will Officeworks price match?

    • marcozmitch on 23/04/2019 - 21:11

      You do get 10% off with Cashrewards at the moment?
      Though with Officeworks you get the 5% off start away and the product that day.

      • marcozmitch on 24/04/2019 - 15:43

        No, No, No, Officejerks has the one with the Australian plug and will not price match. ([ie., $428] WDBWLG0100HBK-NESN vs WDBBKG0100HBK-AESN) So they can…
        Miss out on $500 I just spent through Amazon AU…
        A very BIG THANKS to O O for the post.

  • oldhippy on 23/04/2019 - 17:22

    So will I need to get a Australian power supply?

    Thanks

    • Antikythera on 23/04/2019 - 18:26

      i got two of these from Newegg on black friday and they came with US power supplies. I already had a suitable power supply for one and a travel power point adaptor for the other.

      I've since shucked one and using it internally.

      • AustriaBargain on 23/04/2019 - 22:32

        Guessingvits 5,200 rpm?

      • bender000 on 24/04/2019 - 16:54

        Did you need to do any modding to use it 'normally' or just plug SATA/power and go?

        • Antikythera on 25/04/2019 - 01:29

          once powered up and connected to sata data, nothing special in configuration or formatting, if that is what you meant.

          they have the 3.3v pin issue
          https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix-the-33V-Pin-Issu…
          i used a molex to sata power cable which don't have the 3.3v wire. so i didn't have a problem.

          i had not put any data on the shucked drive so I don't know for sure if existing data (written before shucking) would have been readable.

    • marcozmitch on 23/04/2019 - 21:15

      Only the pins are the problem. US pins are on this power supply. As per Amazon site:
      "The transformer can accept Australian voltage and current but it is a US plug."

      • oldhippy on 23/04/2019 - 21:38

        Thanks both for your replies. I think I might have some adapters around somewhere :) Will go for a rummage.

        • marcozmitch on 23/04/2019 - 22:50

          Get something like this for all your US PIN and other issues.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/419383 (imho)
          Very few items in the world these days are made for the 110v AC only.
          If an item comes direct from Amazon US it will state fairly clearly if it is only for 110v.

    • impoze on 24/04/2019 - 17:06

      you can contact WD support and they will send you out a new power supply with the switchable plugs for free.

      Easiest to register the drive first

      • swampson on 24/04/2019 - 23:56

        i did this just couple days ago, and they said it'll be with me in 2wks, which is pretty good service overall, i reckon.

  • some_one_some_where on 23/04/2019 - 17:31

    Standard question..is it 'chuckable'?

    • f4te on 23/04/2019 - 17:34

      Should be, though I don't think they contain the helium filled drives anymore?

      • 7hil on 23/04/2019 - 17:37
        +4

        They "do" in fact contain helium drives. I purchased two the last time and confirmed this using DriveDx on my Mac. They are easily shuckable and I even managed not to break any of the tabs on the second one I shucked. Here is what I wrote last time:

        "Not shucked yet but one of mine is a WD100EMAZ-00WJTA0. Previous Reddit posts have this as a 256MB Cache - Helium - Made in Thailand. I can confirm it is Helium. YES!

        PS They only came with US plug adaptors.

          But this is a 8TB, so is it the same WD White inside?

        • Freighter on 23/04/2019 - 18:12

          And so Helium drives are good for using in a NAS? Or should I just wait for a Seagate/WD Red deal?

            +1

            @Freighter: The logic is that they stay cooler so are preferred. I have two in my NAS and are going fine. No difference between how they perform and the Reds they replaced. Even the temperatures are about the same.

    • AdrianW on 23/04/2019 - 17:46

      I think you mean shuckable.

      • some_one_some_where on 23/04/2019 - 17:47

        Yes, I did:)

        • Ulysses31 on 23/04/2019 - 18:53

          Aww, shucks

        • jmeister on 24/04/2019 - 14:11

          On the plus side, believe all drives (irrespective of model, brand, capacity) are "chuckable". May void warranty though if any issues arise :)

      you can get WD australia to send you the AU plug for free - register it, then raise a support ticket. I did it couple days ago, i should have it in 2wks.

  • biscuits on 23/04/2019 - 18:57

    Does the shopback 6% apply to this? The T&C's say that you have to purchase on Amazon AU, and not US. Does this still count as an AU purchase even though the stock is US?

    • O O on 23/04/2019 - 18:58

      Yes, as you're bought it through Amazon.com.au.

      • biscuits on 23/04/2019 - 18:59

        but the price is so attractive…

        • 7hil on 23/04/2019 - 20:37

          Test them thoroughly before shucking. Full test takes about 16 hours.

          • haru on 23/04/2019 - 21:42

            @7hil: How?

              +2

              @haru: Use WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Run a full test prior to shucking.

              +2

              @haru: i used https://www.hdsentinel.com/

              also this was my first time shucking. it was very easy, easier than the videos I watched, and I managed to do it non-destructively. If I ever had a problem I'd put the drive back in the shell for return.

              of course if there was a problem a warranty return doesn't get your data back so make sure you have redundant backup copies.

    • escalier on 24/04/2019 - 08:50

      That is a pretty unfair review though, he got one DOA - sometimes it happens. Dude didn't even look at the others. I guess if you're buying 18 external drives off amazon instead of a NAS for a business shouldn't expect too much, though.

  • Freestyle on 23/04/2019 - 20:36

    Is the threadripper supposed to be server-grade CPU?

    • jenkemjunkie on 23/04/2019 - 20:58

      Not necessarily. Good for a machine learning setup if you wanna run 4 GPUs on all them lanes.

  • Godric on 23/04/2019 - 22:18

    Does this auto sync new files from PC to the external drive automatically?

    I have a Seagate 8TB but does a crappy job

    • stephendt on 24/04/2019 - 11:15

      If you're using the software that comes on the drive, you're doing it wrong. There are plenty of third party applications that would do a better job (eg. Syncback Free)

  • harrisonxx19 on 24/04/2019 - 09:58

    What's the difference between this one and WD My Book 10TB? This one doesn't have the WD Backup software right? What's the alternative? Thanks.

  • bsdnd on 24/04/2019 - 10:10

    How suitable would this be to partition into 3 different partitions… using a section for plex / general, and the other two for network time machine backups? (it would be connected to a 2010 imac)

    Thanks!

  • KRiSX on 16/05/2019 - 15:09

    what an absolute joke… I ordered 2 of the 10tb WD's… they shipped… tracked all the way to the country and then got returned to sender because they stuffed up the printing of my address! :(

    only option I was given was a refund
