WD order DOA. There is no packaging.. just the black plastic insert thing. WD is killing these with really poor shipping partner.

Quote from trandav :
My experience is that they ship it much sooner than that though. Kinda like how Amazon is overly cautious with their delivery dates, but then they usually end up shipping the product out days (if not weeks) earlier.
Quote from benjaminzsj :
All you guys must have ordered before I did. My Amazon order is still showing delivery date pending.
I guess it was really popular at Amazon!


My estimated date range was July 20, 2023 - July 24, 2023.


I received an email on Aug 1, 2023 stating the new estimate date range is Aug 15, 2023 - Aug 17, 2023.


Received a shipped notification on Aug 8, 2023 and received it last night.



Quote from swissguard :
boxes I got are sealed with "Inspect contents … prior to acceptance tape" and has a label that reports UPC, MFG No, S/N".

"IF TAPE IS PEELED,
TORN OR CUT,
INSPECT CONTENTS
OF PACKAGE PRIOR
TO ACCEPTANCE"

but the brown box was inside an Amazon envelope left on my porch...


I didn't read this thread prior to opening the box... but thankfully, there was an 18 TB Red Pro inside.


It passed the short diagnostic self test, and now currently going through an extended test (35 hours).


Badblocks testing afterwards...

Mine was in a brown box, and the sealed drive (no desiccant pack) was held in place by the shock absorbing plastic inserts.

Search4bargains,

How is WD red pro performing? Is it loud? Is it fast? How many did you order? Are you using RAID 5 (3 or more drives)?

For those lucky ones who got in on the deal, how is the red pros?

I'm waiting for the deal come back.
Hopefully soon or BF so I can finally setup a NAS.

Thanks!

Amazon processed my return & refund today of the 8TB drives labeled as 18TB (UPS delivered the return to Amzon about 1.5 months ago).

Regarding noise, the 18TB seemed about the same as the 14TB. The 20TB are very noisy so 18TB is the largest I'd suggest for Plex or indoor home use cases.

I didn't open my drive until last month. Was saving did a build. I got farked with an 8Tb drive from AmazonServices LLC. A subsidiary. They said it was over 30 days so I was SOL. This is fraud.
