I ordered one, what is it

You weren't designed for deals like this.

Marketing really missed a trick here; why stop at 24000?
24000000000KB sounds much more impressive!

You've never even posted a misprice or a glitch though so that whole bit about 'after my own needs are supplied' is nonsense :stuck_out_tongue:

I was offered a Snickers...

I doubt it was deliberate so as to climb the rankings. Wouldn't be worth the hassle...and believe me...resolving mass uptake on mis-prices can require much time and effort with customers that have issue's in just letting go when the game is up. This is too much of a specialised item to try and strategically capture the casual buyer at its usual £3k+ price.

Why would anyone want to spend 2-4k on hard drive storage when for that amount you could buy the best pc with just as much storage but with far more things to do than sit in a corner looking pretty?

I managed to negotiate 2 bottles of lucozade and a wham bar for my troubles.

I agreed 30p but cash only.
Anyway, I was thinking to get the one at £2200 and they are gone,a bargain compared to the one at over £4000

I went on live chat and acted a bit confused about my order being cancelled. After he explained the reason for the cancellation I said I felt a bit let down. I didn't ask for anything or moan. I was then told I would be credited £5 for my next Amazon purchase.

Well at least there's not the usual rants from people saying they have to fulfill order by law etc etc this time :smiley:

I got a cancellation email, I was really looking forward to working out what it is

How did you get £5, did you complained on live chat? If so what did you say?

Got £30 off my next purchase as well :laughing:

:wink:

Mines been dispatched :smiley:

unfair, they only gave me £30 off my next purchase

Cancellation email received.

cancelled

cancelled

cancelled

Just received a cancellation email...oh well.

Did anyone get a dispatch email?

My order has just been cancelled...theres a suprise!

Email cancellation received :disappointed: was worth a try

You're right sell.me...didn't realise that it was direct with Amazon especially given the delivery dates of a couple of weeks....well with a bit of luck we might get a credit note by way of an apology

Only sellers remaining now appear to be 3rd party market sellers. Amazon appear to have pulled their own offer to supply and anyone who purchased at £296 purchased from Amazon themselves.

That may be true sell.me..interesting though how the item was first reduced to £300 from £2k plus and has now gone up to £4165..the cynical person like me would ask why they didn't just re-price it back at it's pre-sale price of £2k odd....but hey ho

This isn't a NAS drive...it's just in essence a mahoosive USB pendrive...just slightly less portable!

Couldnt this be used and plugged straight into a router to share it across a network? My current NAS is just straight into my router which then shares it across Wifi and my Cat6 network.

Well who will be first in with the cancellation email? :wink:

Was just thinking, all these people who have bought this Drive have now made this the no1 best seller in the external drive section of Amazon. If as we all presume they won't honour the orders would you say it's an immoral selling/marketing ploy to boost their rankings by deliberately de-valuing the item as opposed to a genuine mistake? I'll certainly be reviewing with a major negative if as is likely they don't honour the orders.

Apple's backup product.

Basically think of this as a Dumb USB hard drive, but with lots of hard drives and more complicated. To work with networking, the device would require a way of taking the data and sharing it over the network ( SMB / NFS protocols ).

I doubt these will be honoured so I wouldn't put much effort into it, but the best way would be to pull out the drives and sell the enclosure then stick the hard drives themselves in a QNAP or Synology NAS ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage ) if you don't know what you are doing.

Oh god, I wish any of that made sense to me! You seem to know more than me so I'll drop the question.. What would be the best way to use this with Plex?

This will not work, this item will appear as a PCI-E raid controller when connected to a PC or MAC. The only way to make it network attached would be to literally stick a PC or perhaps a budget Intel NUC next to it then share it via SMB/ NFS across the network.

Listing gone now completely for amazon by the looks, wonder if people are gonna cop lucky on this one ?

I hope it is possible with this Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. Hope someone can confirm :smiley:

At least you'll be able to archive the event safely on this if you record the event...

different seller as well

anyone knows if it can be connected to network?

Hot while it lasted - Price is now £4,165.94 + £19 UK delivery!
Time to check if the they have cancelled my order of a single unit (not greedy).

Price now £4,165.94 + £19 UK delivery

looks like it only comes with 2x thunderbolt 2 connections.
Does accept any other connection with the right adaptor??

It might be a technical term I'm unaware of, but on the specs it says it's time machine ready...

Bought one. Hope it's cancelled :smile:

And a Petabyte is 1000TB...can't afford to buy 42 of the ****!

you very lucky, I will get in pieces instead. I could not resist but I hope it will be cancelled, maybe not, lol

Well i might keep two and sell one...im sure the one i sell would cover the cost of the others!...slim chance of ever getting them but got to be in it to win it they say

Ordered 42.
You never know when the next opportunity to own a petabyte of storage will turn up!

I ordered 3 so lets see what happens...there might be an influx of them appearing on ebay in a couple of weeks!

will probably be cancelled as a misprice but have ordered one anyway, you got to try at least :smile:

No way is this being honoured, it's now rated as: "#1 Best Sellerin External Hard Drives"
I ordered it within 20minutes of being posted and I was really hoping I would get lucky, I need the space and it would have been the only big bargain I would have ever received.

Too many people get greedy to make a profit, all it does is alert Amazon and makes them look into why the item has been ordered so many times within such a short time span.

Better get in quick now you've highlighted the misprice to them! lol

You will probably need an adapter

That M&S champagne was crap. Was only worth 3 quid a bottle
I ended up with about 40 bottles and blasted most of it for comedowns after drug parties on people I didn't like.

Yes drives are already inside ! Ready to work with RAID5 configured.
This model is 24TB raw capacity (RAID0), will be less if you choose a more secure RAID (like RAID5 or RAID6)
The harddrives are professional HGST Ultrastar, great performance and durability !

Its limited to 3 per customers

:smile:
He had me going, good sleuthing

Buy a modern machine with Thunderbolt.

It's no risk even if it isn't - you'd just sent it back to amazon.

Bought 10 for ebay

"thunderbolt 2 port" - how do we connect this for normal use

hmmmm....ordered....for now....is it definely with the hdds though, as other than a 3rd party company reply in the Q&A it still isn't totally clear.

What sort of connection is that at the back too to connect to a PC? can't make it out on my screen, but doesn't look like USB nor ethernet, so guessing may need some sort of special interface card?

I talked to the chap on amazon, whether is a misprice and he says it's been discounted at 91% :smirk: so finger crossed

you never know. doubt it but some unexpected ones do come off:

M&S - Panasonic 50 inch 3d 1080p plasma £199 from M&S misprice from £1199 - got 2
M&S - champagne at £3 a bottle, misprice from £30 a bottle
M&S - all in one hp pc £375 , misprice from £1199

etc

Ordered........

"You Save: £3,063.85 (91%)"

Really tempted even though i dont need one, my 2.5TB NAS is okay
But this price for this much storage is insane

The wife's gonna murder me :man:

Nice.

Why not :smiley: Amazon doesn't take money until the item is dispatched, so let's wait and see what's gonna happen :smiley:

Worth a try to get one

The description clearly states what RAID modes are supported.


You're obviously getting a lot more than just the discs.
Also the discs are enterprise class; good luck getting a 5TB enterprise drive for anywhere close to £100.

gotta be worth a go.....ordered :smile:

So it says it's 24tb, but is it 24tb of storage or is it 3tb x 8 drives and being in a raid setup does this just give superspeed 3tb or actually access to 24tb?

Also, seeing as 5tb is around £100ish, you could by five drives for £500ish. So why would this be worth £3,000?

I dont have thunderbolt on my machine but I've ordered one of these so that I have it already when I do an upgrade. Just rather confused about what you actually get and why it would normally cost so much.

Marketing really missed a trick here; why stop at 24000?
24000000000KB sounds much more impressive!

Ordered! Just like playing the lottery, I'm imagining the fun I could have with it before inevitably receiving the "you didn't win" email.

You've never even posted a misprice or a glitch though so that whole bit about 'after my own needs are supplied' is nonsense :stuck_out_tongue:

In the Q&A further down it says they're included.

Ordered, just in case the magical fairies do dispatch at this price!

nope, it states capacity in the description so expect it to come populated. Never going to come off but always worth a punt.

Ahahah!

Also, anyone else think it may only be the enclosure, no drives?

Ordered one. 1-3 weeks delivery.:stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, I bought one too. Let's see where this takes us :sunglasses::sunglasses:

OP, surely you had a small chance of this being honoured if you didn't post it here? Now you have absolutly no chance.

not expired. just delivery 1-3 weeks if ever :laughing:

ordered! thanks op

please tell me if someone has their item DISPATCHED, mines still at Item has not been dispatched

So is this only for apple?

24000GB for this PRICE, Just ordered

ordered, let's see :smile:

I ordered one, what is it

worth a punt

Ordered two, don't expect to receive any but hey ho, worth a punt. :smiley:

Ordered two- no chance they get delivered though!

Some £20 promo got added to this. So I ordered puyo Pop Tetris for the ps4. Cancelled this and now have the game for £2.99...
Only worked once...very strange.

Can't imagine it happening but I'd really have a use for this so took a punt, worst case scenario we get a refund.

And Amazon just have to troll me as well.. "Dispatching now".

Doesn't come with a keyboard and mouse. Cold. :wink:

At this price it would be rude not to

Need some space for my porn :man:

Don't think I'll bother thanks.
I'll leave it to the Ebay sellers to buy the three that are available :wink: And best of luck to them

That was my last order which didn't turn up as it got cancelled. After that I ordered again and .. cancelled. Hope OP gets one, which is likely if this weren't posted on here but, good luck nonetheless.

Thanks :smiley: I needed to buy an add on item.
