UPDATE: Many users are reporting cancelled orders due to a pricing error

Amazon have now started emailing to advise of the cancellation and are giving $30 vouchers per order. You can check your coupons here. For the record my order of 3 was cancelled and I received the $30 gift voucher too. The drives would have been great but I'm also pretty happy with this compensation. Congratulations to anyone who gets their order delivered.

Insane price for the 10TB WD My Book external hard drive. Limit to 3 per customer, and remember to use cashback. I grabbed 3 for $389.52 + Free Delivery with Prime.

    I thought I was on a good thing when I grabbed 2 of the WD Element 10TB's for $500!!! And now I've just realised I've bought 50TB's worth of external HD's in the last month - I need a bigger server.

      They don't say anything but give you a $5 credit is my one and only experience.
      I don't need this but tempted to buy just for the free credit or more GB than I'm ever going to need.

    the review…..doesn't look good.

    If you actually "need" a new drive, might be a good idea to get the 8TB model for $171 as well.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/457687

    Just in case this 10tb model is a pricing error.

    Edit. The 8TB is a great deal but this 10tb is an insane deal.

  • vegasasu on 19/05/2019 - 17:40

    Recent reviews are all bad, they run very loudly and die before warranty, and you have to send them back to US for replacement. Maybe it is better to wait for WD Elements 10TB

    • SBOB on 19/05/2019 - 17:42

      i assume many people shuck these and use them in their servers/nas/pc's
      they get good wraps for that purpose on many forums/reddit etc

      • vegasasu on 19/05/2019 - 17:43
        +4

        Yep, I intended to shuck them. Run much faster in SATA 3 cable than usb 3.0

        • Oxxy on 19/05/2019 - 17:45

          Any know for certain if they are shuckable?

          • chutibuti on 19/05/2019 - 17:47

            @Oxxy: Just but it, this can be checked later :)

            +1

            @Oxxy: Yep takes me about 1-2 min a drive to shuck.

          • The Value on 19/05/2019 - 17:52
            -7

            @Oxxy: No consumer grade external drive would be unshuckable. It would be cost-prohibitive to make a external drive vastly different from an internal drive.

            • mahdoo on 19/05/2019 - 17:59
              +9

              @The Value: Not true - some drives do indeed have USB controllers soldiered on to the PCB, rather than SATA. (These ones are definitely SATA though)

              Only seen this myself in some 2.5" drives though.

              • voter1 on 19/05/2019 - 18:13

                @mahdoo: WD 2.5" usb drives are all unshuckable.

                they have the usb controller directly soldered on without any sata connection.

                if you damage the micro usb port somehow then the drive is cactus

              • So lo on 19/05/2019 - 18:43

                @mahdoo: Those are great for a Raspberry Pi OSMC install with VPN client, transmission torrent client and sickchill. For automated anonymous linux iso downloading and cataloging obviously.

        • Zazer on 19/05/2019 - 18:15

          How would that work? Have no experience with this.

          • voter1 on 19/05/2019 - 18:41

            @Zazer: you mean shucking?
            shucking is just cracking open an external usb hard drive to access the internal drive inside so that you can either use it in a desktop pc / laptop / ps4 / xbox.

            it not difficult especially if you dont care about damaging the plastic clips. Most if not all dont have screws so its just a matter of breaking the plastic clips with a knife (if you're super careful the clips wont break so you can reassemble the drive if need be)

            the main thing to note is that you buy the right drive (eg. laptops/ps4/xbox takes 2.5" drives)

              +1

              @voter1: ok otherwise how can i use this drive if i leave it in there? not sure exactly what i bought but everyone else was buying it so i did as well

              • voter1 on 19/05/2019 - 18:52

                @Zazer: its a usb drive - you can plug it into anything that accepts usb

                desktop pc / laptop / ps4 / xbox /tv/ even phone if you buy the right adapter

                • Zazer on 19/05/2019 - 18:52

                  @voter1: hmm ok do you know the speeds? and what do people use 10TB for? backups? lots of games?

                  would it be possible to remove the hard drive and put it in my PC?

                  thanks

                  • voter1 on 19/05/2019 - 19:04

                    @Zazer: yes thats what ive been saying - you can remove this hard drive and put it in your pc
                    just rip open the plastic shell and disonnect it from the bracket inside. then reconnect it to your pc the same way.

                    people use it for all sorts of things. basically all of the above.

                    dont get your hopes up though 99.9% you're not getting this drive. pricing error.

                    • Zazer on 19/05/2019 - 19:19

                      @voter1: Wow that's awesome! How big is the drive itself? Is it just a single 10TB 2.5" drive?? That's crazy. How big is this enclosure that it comes in?

                      I'm excited even though I don't have a PC yet - am considering Techfast :)

                      edit - just saw a youtube video and WOW! idk why but from looking at the product image i thought it was a big size like a PC or something. my hopes are definitely up that this doesn't get canceled now haha.

                        @Zazer: the drive in this deal is a 3.5" drive
                        it wont fit in laptops or ps4/xbox if you shuck it.
                        only for desktop pc via shucking.

                        3.5" external drive is about the size of 3 dvd cases

                        • Zazer on 19/05/2019 - 19:22

      WD has mycloud drives. I bought a Seagate personal cloud drive a while back, it has a couple of options, but it's not well featured by any stretch. I have run into times where I want to do something but it's not possible, and the Seagate app at least is terrible.

  • rartelif on 19/05/2019 - 17:56

    Order one just for the voucher. Prefer voucher rather than the product.
