No they're not raided. I did have one fail (out of 8 ) after 3 years, the rest seem fine.
But my main point is it just how long its taken for drives to be cheaper again!

Are they raided? I think raid is the kiss of death to drives in the long run.

30 day warranty, no thanks

I brought the Recertified 4TB one last year and its still going strong, just be aware sometimes it rescans and allows all folders to be seen public, i'm a novice with these things but found i could use twonky to stop this from happening, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Maybe in a couple of years i'll replace just to back up my back ups.

Is this compatible with PS4 or xbox one - doesn't mention on the website

Any good as an XB1 expansion, or does all the proprietary software get in the way?

Just bought and very timely - my dog just broke my last external HD!

it was a 1 off voucher code they emailed me about 6 months ago which was supposed to have expired but still worked. i got email because I purchased before and they "missed me". if you have old code worth testing

Long as you keep em cool they run for years. I have a 1TB and 500GB from 2007-8 that have been used for about 7-8 years constant. Eventually I replaced em with bigger drives and stuck them in caddies to use as external storage for consoles. So if they die it's not a big deal. But really I think it's peoples hot PC cases that kill a lot of em. I always try keep em 25-40'C. I have a pair of 2TB Hitachi Deskstars (or death stars as people call em) running constant since about 2011-12. Not a prob. As for the drives on this thread, originally I got em both as backup drives but a lot of my stuff can be redownloaded quite easily so I only use one as a backup and stuck the other in my PC. Pretty much keep em cool and keep em on constant instead of powering up and down repeatedly, and they last years. The powered on count for one of my drives is about 12, after 6 years use.

Crazy how these have gone up. 2 years ago I bought 2 of these from the WD recert store for £90.

if it helps anyone from Northern Ireland, change the Uk in address to Ireland and order will go through. When they ship it, it will end up in Northern Ireland with the BT postcode clearly displayed on the address. i had a 20%off voucher so ended up paying £48, thanks op

sorry my trick worked on the other post earlier which brought up the cheaper euro price.

How long the drives last after you've recieved them :wink:

​What's the limited part tho :neutral_face:

Sponging off someone else's post.

You can get 4Tb for an additional fiver (= £69.99), worth trading up to (if you have plenty'o data)

That's a rather nice deal for 3TB
