have you checked the warranty on the reds individually inside rather than the book duo warranty? that would be good to know!

I have indeed. They're marked as 'OEM' by Western Digital and you can't register the drives seperately (I tried that and e-mailed support to see if I could). You register the enclosure, if a drive fails you just send that drive back for replacement.

I don't get how to do this? Is there a promo code or something?
Been 25 days and what I ordered (which was in stock at the time btw) still hasn't shipped. Seeking a refund now.

Judging from all the WD recertified HDD’s on HUKD that may actually have saved you from losing your coursework!

As per usual/recent of WD, most of the items are out of stock.

Most of the WD Reds and all but the 12TB Duo were in stock when I posted it up initially. I guess they have limited 'student' stock, as they appear to have things in stock on the regular site, but then not in stock on the student site.

True, the best deal was the 8TB My Book Duo @ £96.50 each, but that went quckly!
