Hi OzBargainers,

Following sylon's advice on his 3800X Bargain, found the same process works on this 10TB WD External Drive.
For 'Shuckers' this will usually contain a WD100EMAZ-00WJTA0 'White' Drive, with apparently a small chance of being a WD Red drive.

To get the right price, open the link above, then in the "Frequently bought together" Section at the bottom, deselect the other offerings, then "Add To Cart". Came through as $250.79 for me.

Not the cheapest it's ever been, but fairly close, and next cheapest offerings seem to be ~$300+. Maybe you could get Officeworks to pricebeat?

Enjoy!

    Is shipping also $27 for you?

    • HiredGoon on 08/07/2020 - 01:22

      Yes, sorry, Shipping seems to be adding on top which isn't showing until proceeding to checkout, I'm seeing $22.34 to Perth, WA.
      I'd update price, but someone seems to have beat me to it.
      Either way it's 250.79 + Delivery (~$20-25)
      Thanks for clearing that up.

  • metalslaw on 08/07/2020 - 01:21

    I have prime (au), but am not getting free delivery on this on any delivery option,

    Item: $250.79

    $22.34 for Expedited International Delivery

    $56.25 for Priority International Delivery

    $19.34 for Standard International Delivery

    Still a decent deal at around $27/tb.

    • MahyarJ on 08/07/2020 - 01:42

      Yep seemed to be the case with the CPU as well, I'm sure you can complain to amazon and get a credit/refund if you're concerned later as it is from Amazon UK.

        I chatted with the customer service earlier this morning and were told free international shipping only applied to amazon us, they said they don’t have amazon uk item for sale

        • MahyarJ on 08/07/2020 - 02:00

          Well I guess I was wrong, maybe they'll let you off for the first time :P. My bad.

  • Tigerhacker on 08/07/2020 - 01:21

    What a weird item, it doesen't show up on the UK site or under buying options, like you said, you have to get it by the 'bought together' panel

    Interestinly, cheapest delivery is: $19.34 even with prime

    • Hybroid on 08/07/2020 - 01:23

      you have to get it by the 'bought together' panel

      That's the bug. Works on other items too but you're right, no free Prime delivery on this one.

      • Blitzfx on 08/07/2020 - 14:00

      Having bought a lot of them they're all white label the last few years, no real difference in a NAS but may need to use a molex > sata adapter or similar hack if using directly in most PCs.

  • garetz on 08/07/2020 - 04:59

    You can change shipping to Standard International Delivery (10-12 business days), saves $3

    These will have UK plugs, so you probably have to shuck them.

    • dmbminaret on 08/07/2020 - 07:31

      It is a hardwired plug or just a plug-in figure 8 cord?

    • Mainsail on 08/07/2020 - 08:11
      +1

      It's an AESN part, so should be three same as the Australian stock.

      These have a wall adaptor that have changeable plugs to suit various countries.

    • et tu brute on 08/07/2020 - 19:28

      No. As an 'AESN' model it should arrive with an international ac plug adapter set (for UK, EU, AU, US etc). Just fit the AU adapter ;)
      Only the US model (NESN) ships with the US (North America) ac cable and/or plug.

    • Trance N Dance on 08/07/2020 - 08:03

      WD don't make SMR drives larger than 6TB, so yes this is not a SMR drive.

            @thatguyfromthatplace: WD have lied before. Big time. It's not unreasonable to suspect they may lie/or are lying again.

              @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Your suspicion is not evidence. Please provide a link to someone claiming to have found an 8tb or greater WD drive that's SMR.

                +1

                @thatguyfromthatplace: I never said it was fact. I said it's not unreasonable to suspect they may lie or are lying again.

                Suspicious ZFS users suspected WD 2tb, 3tb, 4tb and 6tb drives, specifically aimed for NAS use and marketed as such, were using SMR tech. Surprise surprise WD did indeed hide this fact, subsequently had to change their entire product lineup, and are now subject to a class action lawsuit in the US.

                • thatguyfromthatplace on 08/07/2020 - 12:01
                  +1

                  @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Continued suspicion in the absence of any evidence to the contrary is unreasonable. But hey, it's your tinfoil hat. Wear it as you will.

                  • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 08/07/2020 - 12:18

                    @thatguyfromthatplace: So previous actions and events have no bearing on future action and events in your opinion?

                    Good luck convincing anyone of that. Would love to see you try and convince police of that :D

                • Trance N Dance on 08/07/2020 - 13:18
                  +2

                  @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Strictly speaking by definition WD didn't lie (until proven otherwise in the class action) but rather omitted the drive tech. Other companies did the same. By this line of logic, we should be suspicious of all HDD manufacturers as they've all done it. It's just WD have been the brazen ones to try and slip SMR tech into NAS/RAID drives and the others haven't (yet).

                  What the class action lawsuit is trying to do is prove WD deceived customers and said that all of their Red drives were suitable for NAS/RAID usage and thus lying. The problem and what the class action lawsuit is going after is to get WD to cease promoting or providing SMR drives for NAS purposes. They viewed it as WD providing a product not suitable for NAS/RAID use when it was promoted for such under the Red line.
                  There hasn't been an entire product line up change but rather a clarification of what drives are what and to differentiate and guarantee a certain product the Red Pro line was emphasised to be CMR only.

                  Also, it would be stupid and suicidal for WD to be lying about any of their drives in the near future. We're fairly safe to rely on what WD are publishing at the moment in regards to their line up. Whilst the white label drives are omitted from the publications on their lineup, they're a derivative of one of their consumer production lines anyway.

                  • Blitzfx on 08/07/2020 - 13:55

                    @Trance N Dance: That's like a car manufacturer saying your vehicle is good with E10 , but it turns out it isn't, and ends up not performing as marketed.
                    For enthusiasts and businesses, that would be considered lying(even if it isn't considered lying in the eyes of the law) and I'd steer clear away from them (if I could afford to), and wait for someone else to confirm.

    Just a heads up - these won't contain a WD100EMAZ, but instead a WD101EMAZ. I bought 3 of them recently and shucked them. The WD101EMAZ is an air filled CMR drive. Louder and hotter than the helium filled WD100EMAZ. Here's someone else with the same experience:

      If it ships, I'll find out what drives are inside when I receive them, I guess.

    • S3ISOR on 08/07/2020 - 11:34

      What a bugger - if they've changed to CMR drives looks like I'll have to hope the bigger 12TB or 14TB are still helium filled and non-CMR. Thanks for the heads up!

      • doot on 08/07/2020 - 11:41

        CMR are the drives you want. SMR are the less-than-ideal ones.

        I have one of each type in my NAS.

        The helium drive is 31 degrees.

        The air filled drive is 36 degrees.

        That's what it shows in the NAS software anyway.
