It seems this HDD is on Black Friday Special, a few bucks more than during Prime Day, but doesn't seem to be a Prime exclusive.

These likely contain a HGST Ultrastar DC HC520, which is a $600 drive if you want to shuck it.
Better to shuck these than the Elements, as these have the middle screw holes missing from the Elements drive.

Edit: Quantity limited to 3 per account. I tried ordering a second lot after it came back in stock and it would not let me.
Edit2: Seems this keeps going in and out of stock throughout the day, so I think it's best to leave it until end of Cyber Monday so people can keep checking if they need it. I'll set expiry for Tuesday 1st December.

      did you keep the xbox code

      • jkim on 26/11/2020 - 19:02

        I sold mine, will be selling mine again.

        • GaAs on 26/11/2020 - 20:10

          How did you sell it? Is it worth much?

            @GaAs: Answer is $25 each for my codes anyway.

    That was quick

  • protagonist on 26/11/2020 - 13:35

    Noooo I missed it!!

  • yolk on 26/11/2020 - 13:57

    Back in stock now, but only 2 units

  • toobzy on 26/11/2020 - 15:07

    Definately shuckable? I thought most WD external have the usb controller connected directly to the hdd motherboard?

    • jkim on 26/11/2020 - 15:13

      There are many reports out there that say it's shuckable with an allen key. I haven't shucked mine from Prime Day yet, as I can't find my allen keys.

      • toobzy on 26/11/2020 - 15:17

        Interesting.. I know the WD P10 Black drives aren't shuckable so maybe they changed it

        • jkim on 26/11/2020 - 18:21

          P10 is the small portable drive. D10 is standard sized 3.5" drive in a pretty good enclosure. After shucking, I plan to actually (try to) use the enclosure with another drive, as these enclosures look very good.

    • furythree on 26/11/2020 - 18:34

      just shucked 4 from last sale

      there are videos online

    • zCrimson on 26/11/2020 - 21:51

      I shucked 2 a few weeks ago, it has a enterprise-class HDD inside.

  • hoverboardrider on 26/11/2020 - 15:20

    Back in stock, just got one with delivery window Dec 10 - Dec 23 which seems ok to me. Here is a youTube vid on how to shuck one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaCLvv3Qkmg

  • jedimaster on 26/11/2020 - 17:48

    Got 3. Needed 4 for my NAS but limit of 3 per customer. Still in stock.

    • furythree on 26/11/2020 - 18:34

      second account

      • jkim on 26/11/2020 - 19:02

        Doesn't shipping kill the deal for the 2nd account (assuming most people only pay for 1 prime membership)

    • furythree on 26/11/2020 - 18:35

      are u keeping the xbox code?

  • Gadaph on 26/11/2020 - 18:02

    Exactly what I needed for my kids for Christmas. Thanks OP! Perfect timing.

  • JohnSy on 13/12/2020 - 01:16

    I received my unit the other day. However, I am not sure if it is functioning. So I am just wondering if someone who has one of these can comment on its behaviour when connected to a PC. If I connect it to a PC and click on manage storage it doesn't see the drive, so therefore I cant format it. The drive sounds like it is spinning up normally however. I am not sure if its large size is the issue or if it is faulty. Anyone?

    • jkim on 13/12/2020 - 02:47

      It takes a while to detect… you should plug in the power to the drive, and the usb cable, then connect the usb to the PC. After that, wait about 2 - 3 mins before windows can pick it up. I've 7 of these now, and have tested 4 (testing the last 3 tomorrow) before shucking to put into my server. It was consistent across the 4 that I've tested… very slow to pick up, but once detected, blazing fast.
