No worries, November 6 is still within the window of October 22 to November 6 - so nothing has changed.
This is normal for Amazon overseas orders - once it does ship, it only takes a few days to Australia 👍
I received mine today, however it was the WD Black D10 12 TB xbox game hard drive in the parcel. This was a bit of a suprise. I guess they ran out of 14TB Elements to ship. Noting the reviews say this has a HGST Ultrastar DC HC520 inside it, is this a better drive to receive? It was $315 during the prime day sales so a fair substitution?
I wouldn't settle for a 12TB drive when I ordered a 14TB drive.
Agreed, that's precisely why they don't (and couldn't) do substitutions.
Amazon don't do substitutions.
I'm guessing you've got someone else's delivery, have a look at the delivery labels, the courier might have stuck your "last mile" delivery label onto someone else's parcel !
Good luck.
Thanks, I checked the picking slip inside the box and it has my name and the WD Black D10 12TB listed as the item to be sent. I did order the 14TB Elements as per my Amazon order history so somewhere they have had a stuff up. I spoke to Amazon earlier and they are ready to give me a return process and give me a refund. Therefore if I return it I am without a HDD and these are not on sale anywhere near the Prime day price at the moment.
Chat with them again, you should have a choice of the 14tb hdd if you push harder
You got a drive? I got quilt cotton batting. They wanted me to return the $30 batting before they refund me and then they wanted me to buy the product again.
Just received my 2nd order while my first order is yet to shipped. I’m Starting to doubt Amazon will fulfil this order after 2 weeks since order.
Just received a dispatched email but "Arriving: Friday, November 27"
OMG, if it arrives that late, will definitely ask for some compensation.I got the same update.
I also ordered 2 identical in stock items sold/shipped by Amazon AU - 1 arrived, the other is not shipped (and expected delivery 26 October; now says "was expected by" - item still showing as in stock btw).Same
Same re first order. Second order just arrived.
Mine also says arriving on 27 Nov. Can we really ask for compensation if they ship it that late? I ordered pretty early but still got this arrival time…
I tried and they weren't receptive
same here , arriving 27/11
Sorry to hear of everyone's troubles…mine arrived today and was indeed a 14tb HDD and not quilt cotton batting, a 12tb HDD or any other lesser substitution. Can't believe how quiet the drive is TBH. My next-largest capacity drive is the Seagate 8TB XBOX drive and that's like a Gatling gun compared to this thing.
Mine arrive yesterday. Box label shows 14TB (I have not open the box yet)
Arrived this morning. Everything checks outs.
Ok, They refunded me and I return shipped the Quilt batting, they said they can give me same day shipping for a different variant, WDBBKG0140HBK-AESN from the Australian suppliers at the same price. How different is that from this one?
Same thing, one's the North American version and the one in this link is the AU/NZ edition.
That's a great offer, I would take it.
Same thing and most likely an AU plug instead of an UK plug
2 drives arrived today. Yellow writing on the WD Elements box. WD140EMFZ made in Jan 2020.
I also ordered 2 when they were $336 before prime day, came in a box with blue writing. WD140EDFZ made in June 2020. So my most recently delivery from prime day in the yellow box seem to be older stock and not the EDFZ drive which I believe supports on drive encryption. I guess as a positive, less chance of them all failing at the same time as they are from different batches.
14TB i received has:
Model: WDBWLG0140HBK-EESN
Manufactured in ThailnadIt doesn't tell when is the manufactured date
On the HDD itself, you have to shuck it to see.
ok thanks.
I plan to use it a external devices.When I input my serial number online, I can see its expiration date: Oct-2022
My 2 drives arrived today (didn't know DHL works on Sunday!). WD140EDFZ, made in Thailand, 31 AUG 2020.
nice. blue writing on the box?
Yellow writing
I got 3x drives from an old deal on these, which were all WD140EMFZ-11A0WA0. Those came in boxes with blue writing.
Then the 1x drive I got from this deal was WDC WD140EDFZ-11A0VA0. That one came in a box with orange writing.
My item is being delivered today. Shipped on Oct 27th.
Same, marked as out for delivery with AusPost. So aligned to the original estimate of Nov 5 delivery date that was given.
On Amazon order page it still says Arriving Fri, Nov 27.
My 3 Drives just turned up today
WD140EDFZ DrivesMine just arrived, the box was literally falling apart…….
Going to run a thorough scan before using.
My ones are all here now, only opened two of them but all the same box so far both are helium WD140EDFZ
Now to start the long scanning test on the drives :/
Should one be recommended to scan there new drives? And reasons?
Yes
Hard drives fail according to a bathtub curve. So either early on or late into its lifespan. The scanning at the beginning catches the early failures by either checking for bad sectors it might already have from manufacturing (so you don't run into it after using it) or stressing the hard drive to perform a portion of its read/write quickly in a short time frame to move its position in the bathtub curve from the high initial spike to the flat middle bit where failure rate is expected to be low.
Mine took a few days to do 2 pass zero write for 3 days running in parallel.
Got 2 of the drives upgraded to my dual parity in UNRAID and rebuilding the 3rd now, takes so damn long with these 14TB drives.
My first hard drive from this deal is now marked as expected Nov 6 instead of arriving 22 october-Nov 6. And still not shipped.
