Just picked one up this morning. Looking like limited stock in store, but delivery is reasonably priced.

    Those ones come with the US adaptor, and of there's a problem, shipping needs to go back to USA

      Amazon is gonna pay for return shipping anyway so it may not be a problem.

      Friend, wd will express ship you the adapter at no charge. Plus you could buy the adapter with the money you saved.

        Thanks, how do you get the AU power supply?

          @[Deactivated]: the power supply is multivoltage, you just need the pin adapter, which as Siddeeqi al-Hammoud states, you contact WD, and they will send the required pin adapter to you.

    Wonder if these have the same HDD as the local stock? WD80EMAZ

  What model HDD is inside these?

    I’ll have to plug mine in and check, but previous ones had WD80EMAZ inside, according to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/99gsde/wd_elem…

    Mine has the following information:

    WDC WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0
    Firmware: 83.H0A83

    Just copied a 250GB disk image to it in 23min:43 seconds.
    So the beginning of the disk can average 179.9MB per second (or if counting data in 1000s, 175.7MB/sec ?)

    I’m keeping it in its USB enclosure for now, at least until its passed a pre-clear and several tests over the next few days.

    Already have plans for another drive, so hopefully they’ll be on sale again during the next few weeks.

      Thanks which according to this link are most likely nerfed Hitachi Ultrastars He10's at 5,400rpm instead of 7,200rpm. Which is actually a PMR enterprise grade drive.

  Not sure what is the shipping costs but arms like this is a better deal and don't forget cashback too. Before cashback is $214
  I bet you may need AU adaptor.
