Can anyone confirm is these run ok hooked up to a computer for extended periods - ie to seed torrents off? This is really an internal drive housed in an external USB container right?

  I don't want to get your hopes up but if it's an item stocked but amazon themselves, maybe try contact the customer support and ask if they can do anything for you for that.

Super easy to Shuck, don't watch the YouTube videos with credit cards trying to separate, or pry it open.
Hold one hand on top, grab around the front and just pull, it'll slide right open.

    I dunno I've had 4 of these in the past, the last time I broke one was trying to pry it. I can check the last two enclosures but they came out pretty easy with a quick slide. It seems they go in on like rails and then the tabs click at the end, so sliding them apart just releases those clips.

    No breaks at all with this method, even put it back together and in the box in case there's any issues in the future.

  Great tip! Just did this on one from the previous deal that I hadn't shucked yet. Watched a bunch of videos, with credit cards pry tools.
  
  This way was so simple and easy. If you have another person, just get one person to put one hand on top and one on the bottom of the mesh, then get the other person to slide the case off.
  
  Easy to do with one person too, just do it slowly. No breakages. Bend the internal plastic bracket off and the rubber stops will drop out. Undo the two screws that hold the usb bracket one and you're done.

The 8tb is still quite cheap, however, they have the 12tb model listed now.

https://www.amazon.com.au/Elements-Desktop-Hard-Drive-WDBWLG…
However the price for an extra 2tb is crazy.

Hesitated while in my cart - already got three of these in my NAS. Should have pulled the trigger!
giventofly on 15/01/2020 - 16:26

I already have one of these. What's the best way to convert to a nas. I don't have a usb router.
- Morien on 15/01/2020 - 16:31

  Best way? Easiest way? Or cheapest way?
  
  I have one attached to a raspberry pi running plex. While definitely not the best, it does the job I want (zero redundancy, simple file serving with no transcoding). Depends on what your needs, wants, and budget are.
  - royale on 15/01/2020 - 17:51
    
    Hey mate,
    How's Plex performance on RPi? Was it good? Any delay in streaming? Especially contents requiring transcoding?
    Been thinking to do this setup.
    What OS you run it on?
    Any online instruction to set this up?
    - Morien on 15/01/2020 - 21:52
      
      I don't do any transcoding on it. Simple file sharing with Plex database. I wouldn't think it would fare well with transcoding.
      
      I have it set up connected to "gigabit" ethernet ("gigabit", because I have a RPI3B+ which maxes out at something like 300Mbit). Videos load up as soon as the hard drive spins up (instantly if I'm just going to the next episode, a few seconds if it is a 4K rip and the hdd was asleep).
      
      I am using Raspbian and followed this guide: https://medium.com/@nem25/plex-media-server-on-raspberry-pi-…

Are Elements encrypted?
- XeSSiV on 15/01/2020 - 17:03
  
  The drives come empty/blank/unencrypted. Some have the software that you can use to encrypt your files at a software/hardware level, and some don't.

  The mybooks can hardware encrypt but if they die and you shuck them you are stuck and lose your data to my knowledge.

    Thanks that's what I wanted to know. Do you know if all My Books are encrypted? Do you know how you can tell? I own one of these but vaguely remember a rumour that some 10TBs were not encrypted.

    Yeah. For a moment it was still $233 or whatever from other sellers but it didn't work when I clicked through. I probably mistook an old tab from a new one. Easy when you have thousands open like me :P.

  Missed out on so many deals lately I just couldn't wait any longer so did the same thing at Officeworks. I rode the fake feeling of a bargain since they were priced at $448 each!

  Yes this USA WD 10TB drive comes with a US wall adaptor.
  So you have two choices:-
  1. Contact WD support and they will post you an AU wall adaptor free of charge (I did this, arrived in less than 10 days);
  OR
  2. Use a AU wall adaptor from a smaller WD drive providing specs are the same. I've also done this and it works fine.
  
  The 10 TB adaptor specs (supplied by WD) are:-
  WD/AC adaptor Model #WB-18R12FN
  100-240V
  50-60HZ
  0.6A Max
  Output 12v 1.5A

- DaTa on 05/03/2020 - 15:29
  
  My chat said to order again and they would credit me the difference

This was posted 4 years 3 months 4 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
