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.

  • graceyym on 22/05/2019 - 11:18

    Damn! I'm looking for a new hard drive and missed both the Western Digital bargains! Hopefully I get on board the next one.
    Also I believe WD doesnt typically shuckle, could be wrong.

    • BillyG687 on 22/05/2019 - 11:23

      They do shuck pretty easily, some people will need some tape to cover some pins (newer SATA standard) but no problems using these as internal drives.

  • cyrax83 on 22/05/2019 - 11:36

    Will Amazon/WD honour 3 year warranty? If so I won't snuck them to keep the warranty

    • TomGum on 22/05/2019 - 11:42

      More importantly…. Will Amazon honor our purchase (those who are still waiting)?

      But yes, 3 years warranty will be honoured.

    • NotJustChickenDinner on 22/05/2019 - 11:42

      " If so I won't snuck them to keep the warranty"
      why would you want to snuck them, no need to be sneaky about it.

      • cyrax83 on 22/05/2019 - 11:47

        Oops - shuck (auto correct)

    • truetypezk on 22/05/2019 - 11:48

      I think you will definitely void the warranty but still have your ACL coverage even by shucking it. Similar to the situation where apple cant simply reject you due to 3rd party repair.

      • Smigit on 22/05/2019 - 12:59

        Sure ACL would cover it? I'd say there's a big difference between getting a 3rd party to 'repair' a device versus intentionally breaking a device up for components and then asking that warranty be provided on those components. A repairs looking to maintain the device, shucking it's discarding components and re-purposing it for non intended use. Apple's not going to repair your iPhone display if you take in just the screen which you removed from the phone prior to throwing the rest out. They'll expect you provide them an iPhone.

        I'd suspect if you shuck it then you're at the companies mercy as to what they'd do. I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect a device not designed to be tore down to be serviced particularly if you send it back without the original casing which I'm guessing most people would throw out. If you do want to make a warranty claim, I'd at the least keep the externals and try not to destroy is when removing the drive.

      WD should honour the 3 year warranty, BUT from my past experience with WD's HDD warranty:

      • You get a refurbished one and that one only covers till the 3 year warranty ends
      • Interestingly, the refurbished one I received was noisy (but WD's official health check app indicated the drive is fine; it only lasted 6 months, by then, my 3 years warranty on the original drive ended).
      • Like all HDD warranty, there is zero data recovery service (and if you opted to use the warranty, you cannot do data recovery).
      • Posting the drive to Singapore wasn't cheap (and that was years ago).

      Then, there is the question of hardware encryption (if you left it in the enclosure). It does make DYI data recovery (if it is a board failure) harder - if not impossible. Though, generally, there is a higher chance of mechanical failure - which most of us won't be able to repair.

      • whey4000 on 22/05/2019 - 12:28

        So failure of the board is unlikely? Not sure whether to take the hard drive out and into a separate enclosure or not

        • RaihaX on 22/05/2019 - 12:43

          Just shuck it carefully and put it back together if required no one is none the wiser. Unless this particular enclosure requires you to break something to open it?

          • PainToad on 22/05/2019 - 12:48

            @RaihaX: Surely there’s a tamper seal?

            • SBOB on 22/05/2019 - 12:55

              @PainToad: There isn't
              Pretty easy to shuck, without breaking any tabs
              Did one last week,with just a few spare cards out of my wallet.

        • netsurfer on 22/05/2019 - 13:30

          Board failure can happen, but are you willing to get a donor board somewhere and able to do the soldering of the BIOS chip change yourself? If yes, then take the drive out makes sense (to disable the hardware encryption (which appears to be on the USB to SATA board level).

          Otherwise, if you send it to a data recovery centre, it's not going to make a big difference.

          • whey4000 on 22/05/2019 - 14:32

            @netsurfer: I would rather not have to send it to a data recovery centre. Do you mean if no then take the drive out?

            • netsurfer on 22/05/2019 - 16:40

              @whey4000: It's better to do regular backups, rather than take the drive out (to disable the hardware encryption) in hope that the hardware failure will be a board failure and that will be somewhat user repairable (if you have a proper heat gun and soldering iron). The donor boards for these are not easy to find right now so you might need to sacrifice one healthy drive. However, make sure you are comfortable with soldering chips (especially small chips) - bear in mind that if you screwed up the BIOS chip transplant and you broke the original BIOS chip, then you will be really screwed (each individual drive's BIOS chip data is unique).

              Only 25% of my HDD failures was due to a board failure. For two of my mates, their recent HDD fails were mechanical, data recovery centre was the only option. Each paid $1800+ to recover baby photos+videos.

                Extra HDD for backup or cloud backup sounds like a muchhhh cheaper option.

  • PainToad on 22/05/2019 - 12:50

    Any one know a USB enclosure compatible with SATA 3.3 without having to do the stick tape trick?

    • netsurfer on 22/05/2019 - 14:15

      Get one of those SATA power splitter without the 3.3V wire and an enclosure where there is sufficient space to use that.

      • PainToad on 22/05/2019 - 19:37

        They’re all toll free now that just slide in. Therefore, no room. :(

    • netsurfer on 22/05/2019 - 15:23

      Basically, get the 4 wire version of the splitter, instead of 5 wire version. Most of the cheap ones only have 4 wires.

    • isthisreallife22 on 22/05/2019 - 16:46

    It's a bit slack of them not cancelling the orders if they are going to.
    If I really needed a drive I'd need to be making other arrangements.

      Well, they’re already telling you an expected ship date. If you need something sooner you’d be getting a drive from somewhere else. Especially since they don’t take your money until the order is ready to ship.

    • Super8Tab on 22/05/2019 - 14:44

      You could make your other arrangements and if they shipped then offer it for sale here, lots of us missed out and really wanted this!

      Yes it is for me too. However I also placed another order for the Wireless Pro drive and I haven’t received a tracking email for that one yet.
