    The other one listed recently, a lot of the comments said it had a US power adapter, is it the same for this one?

    • dinob7 on 19/04/2021 - 13:26

      Most likely. But can contact Western Digital and request an AU adapter

        For "NESN" models, these have only the North American (US/Canada) ac adapter. Upon receipt of device, register immediately as your will need the serial number. Then contact WD support with the serial number and they will ship to you free of charge, an Australia/New Zealand compatible adapter immediately.
        For "AESN" models, these ship usually with global adapters include AU/NZ. Register with WD support.
        For "EESN" models (UK and Europe) also ship with global ac adapters. Usually, an AU/NZ is also included. If not, register device and contact WD support for the appropriate adapted.

        WD Support has always been good for me. I have always received the proper ac adapters very quickly.

        Cheers

      nvm this is the us model

    • cydia9k on 19/04/2021 - 14:32

      Yep, received the AU adapter from WD about two weeks after emailing them.

    • mctrix on 19/04/2021 - 15:47

      It came with different plugs which includes EU, US and AUS plug

  • ChickenDinner123 on 19/04/2021 - 13:32

    Can I connect this to a micro PC (Dell USFF) and use it like a Nas? I'll be running them off a UPS.

    Would it affect the lifetime of the risk if it is always powered l, even though it might actually be in use all the time?

    • Sleepycat3 on 19/04/2021 - 13:42

      This drive will sell power off when there is no activity. The drive will still appear in Windows Explorer, and when you click on it, it will spin back up (give it a few seconds while it does so).

      • timtam-slam on 19/04/2021 - 14:30

        I've found my 12tb elements drive pretty annoying in windows with its power management. Freezes file explorer while it starts up.

      • Agret on 19/04/2021 - 14:32

        I believe there's a tool you can get that writes a basic text file to the drive every so often to stop it going to sleep, generally hard drives are better left running rather than going through a bunch of start/stop.

    Please be aware that people are starting to use HDD for mining.
    HDD/SSD price has already increased (newly double) a lot in China. If you want to purchase new HDD/SSD, buy it now…

    • Midday Murth on 19/04/2021 - 13:42

      What is wrong with people, mining with a HDD hahaha.

    • PainToad on 19/04/2021 - 13:42

      How are they using HDD for mining?

      • PeppaCat on 19/04/2021 - 13:55

        search for chia..
        Basically using SSD as caching for plots, and then generate some data, these data == lotto draws.
        Then use HDD to store these data. And every a few minutes several data will be selected. The one who got selected will get 1 coin..

        • PainToad on 19/04/2021 - 14:59

          Interesting, thank you.

        Expect what happened to graphics cards to happen the HDD and SSDs:

      Oh great. What a pointless waste of resources the crypto market is

      • desync on 20/04/2021 - 13:53

        bitcoin and it's derivatives are the problem - they are crap

        the new generation cryptocurrencies are incredibly efficient and don't require wasting electricity or computer resources to support them

    • pichxlonco on 19/04/2021 - 15:04

      damn, i hope another of those 4TB for less than $100 deals come up in the next few weeks then, before this crap turns reals and prices go up too much.

        low tb hdd are useless, they take up too much space, it'll be just like 4gb or below gpus

    • DiscoJango on 19/04/2021 - 19:06

      lol whats next, people using mice to farm clicks, and we will no longer be able to buy one?

  • camshandez on 19/04/2021 - 13:43

    $243.80 for Prime through Amazon US, have to select from "available sellers". So save a little if you're shucking

  • photonbuddy on 19/04/2021 - 13:56

    Can be had slightly cheaper from the US, but I think the extra ~$8 is worth it for AU stock.

    These will backup the important stuff on my 4 x 8TB drives, most of which has come from a collection of 2TB and 4 TB drives.

  • zetmandude on 19/04/2021 - 14:19

    personally, I think it is a good idea to stock one or two, with Chia coin mining, hard disk market in a few months could be similiar to the graphic card situation.

    • bienvenu on 19/04/2021 - 14:34

      That line of reasoning is exactly how we ended up with no toilet paper in stores last year.

      • noisymime on 19/04/2021 - 15:06

        Given the state of the GPU market, this fear is very real.

  • nofriends on 19/04/2021 - 14:23

    Are these still good for shucking?

    • impoze on 19/04/2021 - 20:15

      yes

  • jasonbon818 on 19/04/2021 - 14:43

    Hi, can anyone show me how to get the deal , the link above show sold by Amazon USA only, with the expected arrival date close to a month

  • axel32 on 19/04/2021 - 14:45

    Already gone? Says Amazon US now.

    • Vool on 19/04/2021 - 14:54

      The title of the post says Amazon US…. Most of these external drive deals are imports.

      • axel32 on 19/04/2021 - 14:58

        This one was AU until it sold out:

        Update: The original deal was sold and shipped directly by Amazon AU (not through Amazon US)

        • Vool on 19/04/2021 - 15:02

          Oh, the tile has been updated (again?). When I clicked it said 'Amazon US via Amazon AU'.

  • BargainBuddy on 19/04/2021 - 14:55

    Its available for $243. I dont know why its marked as sold /expired.

    Also someone need to update the title. Its $15 delivery if you dont have Prime.

    • phatsteve on 19/04/2021 - 15:24

      I'm sure you mean 243

      Not in stock, it's on back order for the next couple of days.

      • nicktids on 20/04/2021 - 12:57

        its now down to $230.58 + $15.25 (I'm not sure you're including or excluding the shipping there as I saw it at 243 yesterday)

        yes its on back order but its still cheaper.

        found https://diskprices.com/?locale=au to be awesome source of scanning amazon

  • vrsac on 19/04/2021 - 15:01

    The link now shows "In stock on April 22, 2021" and for only $243! so, $24.30/TB. That's a great price
    I've got three of those in my NAS that I shucked. Takes 5min/drive to shuck. The ones I have are Helium filled and very quiet, great for NAS as they run very cool.

  • somethingguy on 19/04/2021 - 15:15

    Can anyone confirm the likely drives to be contained within, for shucking purposes?

    And how these compare to the equivalent 10tb Seagate expansions?

  • NotAnAudiophile on 19/04/2021 - 15:19

    Hmm any 12tb and above ?

  • brisneylander on 19/04/2021 - 15:26

    I ordered this..must have been just as they ran out of Aus stock as it wouldn't take it several times til I closed and reopened the app, then it gave me same device same price but us stock. A little wait for delivery.

    Can anyone tell me, can I contact Western Digital before it arrives and ask for the adaptor before I get it or do I have to wait?

    • deviate on 19/04/2021 - 19:43

      no, you'll need the serial number to register it.

  • desync on 20/04/2021 - 13:57

    they are $230 now

    from US though

    i just can't pull the trigger getting a hard drive thrown around from carrier to carrier from us to au
