I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that

These are awesome.. and that's a stunning price. They do indeed have a rechargeable battery.. they run Linux, and you can SSH into them.. meaning you can do prettyuch anything you like with these.

I use the 500gb one as a photo backup on holiday.. stick my SD cards into it.. hit the button and it backs up the card automatically. (Standard functionality)

I then have a script which runs.. and rsyncs a differential backup to my home server via whatever WiFi this is connected too.

It's a great little device.

A word of warning.. update to the latest firmware.. a problem in earlier ones allowed the battery to be over charged if left plugged in 24/7 and caused some pretty spectacular bloated batteries.. which is highly dangerous. The warning to upgrade is fairly prominent in the WD forums, but it's not obvious otherwise. The latest version is 1.06.06 so make sure you have that one.

I spend a couple of quid on a ream of paper included in the promotion on the page and got £10 off the order with eCoupon TDX-9HFJ - £10 off £75

Hi, Thanks for your tips, I could now download the invoice but it is not the usual type. This aims at VAT. I contacted Tesco on their page specially ask for a proper invoice. I just received their non-reply email with this vat receipt again (showing copy)

Would you kindly advice me that:

Would this kind of invoice be OK with WD in case need repairing as I usually shop with Amazon and Amazon would provide formal invoice not like this kind of display.

Also if I sell it later (I only intent to use for a trip this summer for sd transferring), could I still saying to potential buyers that the item is £78 with this kind of invoice.

thanks a lot, don't know about that. would do now.

If you look on your order history and click on this order there is a button to request a VAT receipt - says they send it in 24 hrs

me too, the package box itself has a WD label state 2-years limited warranty.

I always assume retailer (tesco) would cover the 12 months but not sure what this wordings mean on the delivery note ?

it arrives within the time zone show on the uk mail track line, luckily someone there for the delivery (as tesco email us at around 6am about the delivery !)

Now all we need is a proper purchase invoice from Tesco (only have the dispatch note inside the parcel)

mines arrived and the delivery note states warranty info ..none doa period manufacturer replaces unit with us 5yrs warranty return to distributor for replacement
so im a bit confused with the none bit and then the 5yrs bit

Bingo, delivered and on charge as we speak :smiley:

As promised letting you know what's happened with OH's order...just checked and drive has been dispatched...still really p'd off that I ordered before them and mine was cancelled...guess I'm going to have to be really nice so I can pinch it off them...actually coming to think of it I'm in when deliveries arrive so I'll get first dibs :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow! I was assuming it was going to turn out a misprice followed by cancellation! Downside it's scheduled for delivery this morning and there's no-one in. Text notification doesn't offer redelivery option.

yes, I get it too this morning tesco email with track (look like coming this morning)

at first I thought tesco would cancel this as only my other item had been dispatch. That I am wrong

ok mine has been dispatched too as of this morning and is out for delivery. So looks like something will turn up !

Was a bit worried but Mine has now been dispatched

yes me too . the other items had dispatched. WD at warehouse to be dispatched.

others post they get cancel email or like us waiting.

probably a great chance would get tesco cancel email soon as they are dealing with backlog?

thanks so much for the tips, would do it once it arrives

yes I do agree

I buy one for travelling for a long period to some place without internet and I need to store my sd staffs

other time I use it as normal 2TB as it only costs a little more price

I bet they alllll did?. :-(

Thanx everyone for that, lol.

Useful for other Products via Tesco I'm guessing?, lol. :-)

At least with my foiballs I'm putting forward some half intelligent questions/comments or whatever?.

Which is more than that of some ..... :-(

Thanx, lol.

Heck with my own order they even cancelled the top up item I'd added to use the discount code...wouldn't care but I actually wanted the item but had been waiting until I had £30 of stuff to order as it wasn't worth paying £3 click and collect on a £1.95 item.

There is something a little strange about these. I've ordered one and it said up to 2 weeks delivery. I ordered a laptop about 30 minutes earlier and that has been dispatched and ready to collect tomorrow. My drive is showing as Processing and At Warehouse. So I don't understand why these would take 2 weeks ??

My £3 item to top up and use a discount code has been dispatched. The drives have not!

Ok will do...have just doubled checked the status of OH's order on Tesco's website and it has changed to "Partially Accept 2" so god knows what the hell that means.

This drive is portable (2,5" factor), you can take it anywhere as it has a rechargeable battery. You don't need a power socket or any cables and you can connect it directly to your phone or tablet.
It also has a card reader (a really slow one by the way). So you can back-up your photos while travelling.

That only works in the house. This is intended for use anywhere.

Email to say silly beggars have dispatched my £3 'top up' item! The drives (yes ordered two!) are "At Warehouse".

If I don't get the drives, they can have the £3 item back!

let me know if your OH gets his order please, beginning to think is it possible Tesco pick their orders in reverse order.
Because like you I got a stock alert and ordered straight away.

​do you have a link to the model you bought?

yes Tesco Direct have no idea what they are doing,most annoying thing is my money is in their account,have lost count of how many of my orders they have cancelled recently.

Yup...placed an order when I got a stock alert from Tesco as I've been waiting for it to come back into stock since about January I think...about half an hour after I placed my order my OH placed an order...mine has been cancelled but so far theirs hasn't...really doesn't make any sense...mind you they'll probably cancel OH's as well but just haven't got round to it yet. Wouldn't care but they also cancelled the other item I'd ordered along with the hard drive despite the fact it's most definitely in stock and I did actually want it...gits...

Order cancelled anyone else.

This hard drive has a built in sd card reader and copy function. Take it on your travels and back up all your camera photos without Internet!

So essentially you're paying quite a premium for the wireless functionality? I bought a 4TB SEAGTE for £79 and just plugged it into my router = wireless hard drive. Granted it sounds like there's some software which will benefit some, but for others my solution might be better

OOS !!!

Rats - was just umming and ahhing this and then went to pages 2 & 3 and it's gone. Curses... now I'm gutted that the thing I wasn't sure I wanted isn't available.

Oos

Hmmm bought the 1 tb toshiba but dont like the app to talk to it wonder if this would be better ???

They were in asda for £19 and £21 a few weeks ago

yes indeed and what a shame as this would be the last club card exchange as well

Awesome next time you have a spare moment would you pop back in time for me?

oos pity could have cc doubled up for £41

thanks for let me know

On the paper change delivery to postal instead of collect at store and it will change to free delivery :smiley:

Can never have enough hard drives, thanks OP don't tell the missus

Whats the difference between this and the WD Cloud ?

Sorry I missed this.

oos

Was about to buy 2, but they're now out of stock when I go to check out.

strange said sold out ,then i tried again and got one thanks op and thanks matt for code and paper idea

If I understand correctly, they have a built in rechargeable battery.

Hope they don't cancel my order as its still in the created stage...

could you kindly let me know, how much for the delivery charge if I shop like yours

if I buy this item (free delivery) and add something under £20 (to get the £10 discount code)

as tesco now charge £2 click and collect for purchase under £30

Thanks

How are these powered...USB or mains adapter? Not immediately obvious as they're "wireless" (for connectivity anyway), i'm assuming mains adapter otherwise they render the "wireless" pretty much useless if they need to be plugged in to a USB port to work.

just hate this kind of website, they let you put item in basket (sometimes force you to register first) until then saying not in stock.

Sold out

Oos

What's the difference between this and a NAS Drive?

ordered,nice deals

I spend a couple of quid on a ream of paper included in the promotion on the page and got £10 off the order with eCoupon TDX-9HFJ - £10 off £75

Ta, did look at the WD website but just wanted to check.

I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that

Yes ordered 2 and a memory stick
Entered the TDX-V4X7 code and got £20 off, great deal
Thanks op

Only the one version

http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1330

There's a code for £20 off £150 if anyone wants to get two. TDX-V4X7

Amazon product looks same but referred to as Wireless "Pro" (£145 lowest price from them direct). Is that just a description thing?

Anyway, bought one just in case! :wink:

Damn you HUKD!!

good price thanks op,be aware though WD not so good with warranty issues.

That's right. If I recall correctly, they were clearing stock for new Toshiba drives.

Was load of stores doing them to make way for to toshiba products. They flew of shelves like lightning

Looks like a great price. Amazon reviews a bit mixed. Anyone got one currently?

Free Delivery too!

You seem like an automated bot lol

*awaits 'I hear you' response*

nice - ordered

I hear you, lol. :-)

Yes, I recall well ...

Out of interest, which Asda Store's did you personally see them at for £19 please?. :-)

Hehehehehe, I hear you, lol.

Out of interest, which Asda Store's did you personally see them at for £19 please?. :-)

Sorry no idea about wireless but for £19 would anyone be bothered.

Wireless ones?

These were £19 in Asda last week

can't seem to edit from mobile

OP .. would also kinda help if you also mentioned its from Tesco? (somewhere on your Deal yeh?), lol.
