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.

    Absolutely amazing price but I've got to try and restrain myself. There's no way I need 10TB.

        I called the WD Australia support number, call centre was overseas somewhere, told them I brought it on amazon and it came with a U.S plug and I needed an australian one, gave them the serial number from the bottom and they sent one out by Fedex via China.

        • BillyG687 on 19/05/2019 - 22:14

          Woah, I didn't know that. I'll have to remember that.

          • whey4000 on 19/05/2019 - 22:46

            @BillyG687: Was pretty easy and straight forward, I got the advice from fellow ozbargainers.

      For those that want to do it online (otherwise call General Support 1-800-429-861)

      1. Register to WD Support Portal (https://westerndigital.secure.force.com/ind/id_userregistrat…)
      2. Register your HDDs (https://westerndigital.secure.force.com/ind/id_productregist…)
      3. Creat Support Case (https://westerndigital.secure.force.com/ind/ID_CreateSupport…)

      Subject: Unsuitable Cable Provided

      Hi,
      I recently purchased 2 x WD 10TB HDDs (SERIALNO1, SERIALNO2),both came with a power cable unsuitable for Australia.
      Is it possible to be sent 2 new power cables that will be able to be used in Australian power points?
      Much appreciated,
      Gumbootboy

      Response from WD (I was hoping for it to be delivered quicker, based on a comment I had read on here it arrived for someone after two days…)

      "I would like to inform you that I have raised your request for 2 power adapter. You will receive the power adapter within 10-15 business days."

      • Kagaku on 11/06/2019 - 18:46
        +1

        Hi, thanks, these clear instructions helped me a lot, and now the adapter is due to arrive this week.
        Just wanted to share my experience as well:
        - I ordered from a previous deal, from Amazon US, not AU, but seems ok.
        - I registered the HDD individually before making an account, but was ok.
        - I created a support case tied to the product except with a simpler message body:
        "Hi,
        I recently purchased this product, but the power cable is unsuitable for Australia. Is it possible to be sent a power adapter for Australian power points?
        Much appreciated,
        <name>"
        then later got an email saying they raised the request etc. with 10-15 day delivery time and asking for delivery address, which I sent in a reply email.

        • Gumbootboy on 11/06/2019 - 22:11

          No worries. Glad it helped.

          FYI - Mine ended up arrived quicker than the 10 days, as others had said. I think it was probably under closer to 5.
          Only slightly annoying thing is that the AU compatible plug is the same as the China one, so the plug ends up being upside down compared to others on a normal power board.

    Folks, US Amazon is based in Seattle and its only 4:45AM there. Give another 2 hrs and I’m pretty sure those cancelations will be coming our way :(

    A part of me was saying maybe it was a legit price. But unfortunayely US Amazon have just slept through this whole ordeal.

    • whey4000 on 19/05/2019 - 21:53
      +1

      Surely they would have people monitoring their systems for problems like this and not just leaving it to the guys in Seattle working 9am to 5 pm.

      • BillyG687 on 19/05/2019 - 21:57

        Agreed.They would've received thousands of orders for these as the deal also made it to places like /r/DataHoarder on Reddit. We'll know sooner or later, but I would have thought someone would have the authority to catch this error overnight in the US.

        • TomGum on 19/05/2019 - 22:02

          Even if they knew, I dooubt they would have anyone with authority to price change. Maybe they have flaged it but can’t do anything about it until someone with authority rocks up.

          • whey4000 on 19/05/2019 - 22:04

            @TomGum: If that's the case they need to look at their processes.

    • xenoic on 19/05/2019 - 21:55

      Oh boy, you almost unloaded a horde of OZB queueing in front of Officeworks on a Monday morning.

      • ThePriceIsNotRight on 19/05/2019 - 21:56

        I only considered for a second because so much easier returning them with rule number 1 of ozbargain "buy now, ask questions later" (:

        Good luck with them price matching, Officeworks in my personal experience is the only place that won't cause a hassle when trying to pricematch Amazon.

      • ThePriceIsNotRight on 19/05/2019 - 21:58

        JB more of a tight arse, do they price match amazon? I know Officeworks are the friendliest with price matching haha

            • Smigit on 19/05/2019 - 23:25

              @ThePriceIsNotRight: It’s not an Australian SKU which JB’s will be, so you can’t likely throw their policy in their face as I imagine that policy states it must be the same product in its entirety. Same no doubt will apply to Office works.

              Sales reps may miss that point but.

          • Optimus Prime on 19/05/2019 - 22:12

            • ThePriceIsNotRight on 19/05/2019 - 22:21

              @Optimus Prime: Sadly, that is the easiest way for them to reject the price match pretty much they are always going to decline it over the phone. So yeah sadly have to go in and waste time to gamble whether it will get honoured or not

    • Tigerhacker on 19/05/2019 - 22:16
      +1

      Yes, just keep in mind you may need to put tape on 1 of the power pins on this

      Also, if you have Red Pros, then they will be slightly bottlenecked by these drives (reds are 7K RPM, theses are 5K)

      • katz on 19/05/2019 - 22:22

        Cheers. I don’t have the Pros, just normal reds.

    • BillyG687 on 19/05/2019 - 22:17
      +1

      In short - yes you can.

      Longer answer - you might need to use some tape to block off the 3.3v rails on the sata power connector, it's really simple just use a non-conductive tape. Depends on your Synology system, as the drives use a newer standard.

      • katz on 19/05/2019 - 22:26

        I’ll be getting the ds918+, migrating from a 218+ as a result of this deal.

        I’ll migrate to the 918 first with just 2x drives (my existing reds), them wack in 2 of these. I’m using the Synology raid type, BTRFS - Synology hybrid raid.
