    Shipped. Woohoo.

    • Tmurder91 on 21/04/2023 - 13:46

      Mines still pending (nothing on my credit card yet)

      16TB and the "Little Skill Seekers: 1-2-3 Draw! Workbook"
      Considering I happened to be awake when the deal was posted and so ordered at 3am, I'm guessing that book must be the delay - wonder if other orders still waiting also got that book

      • Alan6984 on 21/04/2023 - 13:51

        Mine has been charged, but not shipped - I only ordered two 12TB drives, nothing else.

        However, I have at least been charged, so further on.

        • Alan6984 on 21/04/2023 - 17:17

          I got an email to say my order was shipped :-)

      • ace310 on 21/04/2023 - 13:51

        I ordered around 2pm when few of the Pros were already out of stock. Wanted to go for 16TB as well, thought too long in morning and got busy later on to miss it. But looking at it, looks like the book might be the delay.

        On flip side, orders are being fulfilled so my guess is it would happen soon. 16TB still showing stock so no issues there.

      • ace310 on 24/04/2023 - 10:41

      • Tmurder91 on 27/04/2023 - 10:17

        Mines arrived this morning already.

        Can't say I'm impressed with the packaging. A cardboard box with an OK amount of folded cardboard protection inside.
        No foam, bubble wrap etc
        Heres what it looks like

        I've taken photos of each stage of the unboxing, and will run it through some tests (I think both crystaldiskmark ones) just to be on the safe side

        • ace310 on 27/04/2023 - 10:20

          Ouch. Though it makes sense as amazon is moving to environment friendly packaging. that cardboard package does look strong, but not sure how much bumps it can minimize on the drive.

          Good for reminding to take unboxing video. I will do the same just to be on the safe side.

        • ace310 on 27/04/2023 - 11:53

          Mines is arriving today as well via Aramex. Damn, this guys always delivers to my neighbors house. I have complained so many times and they still do it.

            @CanSerMan: Well for harddisk with physical moving disk inside not sure how much protection a cardboard box can provide. It's more to do with how much shock disk can sustain before getting damaged.

            • Alan6984 on 27/04/2023 - 17:47

              @ace310: Yes - it would be nice if they had one of those 'shock' stickers.

          • Tmurder91 on 27/04/2023 - 18:00

            @CanSerMan: Thats the same packaging I got, but for a device as precision made as a harddisk its not a very good way of packagine - every shock it receives before something is damaged, a head bumps a platter etc.

            Take a USB external HDD as an example, the drive is side the plastic enclosure which has rubber feet suspending it inside which absorb some shock. Next the plastic case is boxed up inside the retail packaging which has a similar cardboard setup to what these drives arrived in.

            Finally, that retail package is then shipped out in courier packaging (often just some loose packing material inside a box)

            A lot more protection.

            Thankfully its passing all tests without issue or signs of damage

            • cutcutcut on 28/04/2023 - 08:07

              @Tmurder91: How long do those tests need to run for approximately?

              • Tmurder91 on 28/04/2023 - 11:51

                @cutcutcut: I'm not much of an expert and it comes down to how much you want to test them as there was a lot of different information and opinions online.

                It also depends on your setup, as if you are putting this drive into an existing array with redundancy then you might not care as much, as any drive failure won't lose data and so you might be OK with showing errors in a few months so you can just replace without data loss.

                I personally wrote the full capacity of the drive one time and checked S.M.A.R.T data

      Not sure if this helps, but I have a lot of 4TB Seagate external HDDs that I have shucked and put the disks into my NAS

      I kept around 2x of the enclosures which have the SATA data/power board, power supply etc. They make really good adapters for when I need to quickly connect an internal disk over USB3.

      I just tested with my 16TB Ironwolf Pro and a Western Digital Red 3TB and both showed up

    • wellydeal on 07/05/2023 - 18:58

      Well, after trying multiple enclosures & plugging it directly into the motherboard of a windows dekstop it still isn't working :(
      it just beeps every few seconds. Amazon have advised they can not issue a replacement & its a refund only.
      So um, anyone have a spare 20TB they're willing to part with ..

      • Alan6984 on 07/05/2023 - 19:06
        +1

        You could try contacting SeaGate directly, and ask if they will do a replacement - I know people that have done that before.

        No idea on this on though, as they may say they will only do it within the US (say), or perhaps they might charge freight - worth asking at least?

  • jaknz on 30/04/2023 - 15:04

    Well, this is horrific. My parcel was "delivered" by Aramex just now, and the bag was RIPPED OPEN and only had one of my ordered hard disks in it. Do I (1) bother complaining to Aramex, (2) bother complaining to Amazon, or (3) just issue a chargeback with my card provider? I'm so pissed, because I would bet the entire value of the purchase on the driver stealing it.

    Edit: Amazon were very quick to respond, have raised a support ticket, and taken the photos I took of the package as it was delivered. Might be some hope after all…

    • Kiwi on 30/04/2023 - 16:11

      was it a van or a passenger vehicle being on a sunday?

      soo many bad reviews online

      • jaknz on 30/04/2023 - 18:58

        Don't know, I didn't see it actually be delivered; they left it shoved into my letterbox! I got to it within about 10 minutes of the delivery notification, so I doubt someone stole half my package from the letterbox and left half behind.

    • kiwijunglist on 30/04/2023 - 19:02

    Not good news for one Geekzone member.

    https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=164&topicid=30…

    Two of my new drives are non-functional out of the box. There was no sign of damage in transit.

    Placed all four drives in a new Synology NAS and only two came online. Testing on a PC, one drive spins up and has a faint click (stops after a while - I assume the drive just gives up trying), and the other has a very faint pulse, suggesting it's not spinning up.

    Looks like I can do the RMA with Seagate directly, but it wants me to ship the drive to Hong Kong.

  • Alan6984 on 01/05/2023 - 13:58

    My two 12TB drives arrived today.

    They seemed to be reasonably packed in terms of boxes / cardboard, but with no air-bags / foam / scrunched-paper or anything similar to absorb shocks.

    We'll see how they go upon testing.

  • rolex on 01/05/2023 - 14:41

    Sorry to hear people are having issues with these drives, please keep us informed of the rectification process.

    So, should we be un-packaging all the drives we've received & checking them.. generally we like to keep things that have arrived and appear to have been undamaged in shipping to remain sealed in their OEM packaging.

    Out of maybe 30 HDD's we've bought from AMAZON, only 1 had issues, it had issues (a few dozen bad sectors upon arrival 2019) and it slowly got worse finally crashing the array earlier this year while showing 96 bad sectors - now wish we'd RMA'd it upon arrival back in 2019.

    • Alan6984 on 01/05/2023 - 15:30
      +2

      Your call of course, but I tend to video the unboxing (in case there is obvious damage upon receipt - even loose pieces in the box), then immediately test the drives.

      However, that does mean that if I changed my mind / wanted to on-sell them (it wasn't something that I could return to the retailer for credit / refund), they are now definitely in 'used' condition (maybe excellent 'used' condition, but not 'new'), which means you'll generally get about a third of retail if you re-sell on, say, TradeMe, whereas new, sealed in original packaging, you can sometimes get two-thirds of retail.

      My experience over many (twenty-five or so) years experience, is that drives tend to fail almost immediately (hours, days, maybe weeks), or they tend to last many years. Pretty much all drives fail eventually, despite the people that will triumphantly tell you that is not correct as they have a drive that's been running continuously since 1843 and their great-great grandmother used to work in a magnet factory or some similar tale.

      So, have opened one, popped it in the last non-populated bay in a Synology 8 Bay NAS, adding to array etc… it is making the weirdest noises… ziiirrr zip clunk zap grrrrr

      • Alan6984 on 01/05/2023 - 15:42

        If I get a drive that makes unexpected noises when installed in a server / array, I pull it immediately, and call the supplier.

        Not sure how that will go with Amazon, but I would at least give it a go with them (might need to be online contact).

        • rolex on 01/05/2023 - 15:51

          Yep - have pulled it… will pop it in a ORICO HD Dock in a bit, see what it acts like there… bit weird isn't it, wonder how many discs were bought, I mean, if we (GZ + Cheapies) bought thousands then a few (a few dozen?) with issues isn't too bad perhaps… and we're hearing about those with issues more likely than those w/out etc

            @notmyusername: Sure.. but I never ordered the cables at all, so that's what threw up my alarm bells originally. Especially hearing so many stories of dodgy vendors on Amazon doing that exact thing, sending fakes / incorrect products.

    Anyone have a 16TB spare they want to sell cost+ship to wellington

    I got an email this morning saying that they have received my return and have issued a refund. I never even got the drive (estimated delivery was 6/05) and definitely didn’t return it. Anyone had something like that before?
    Only thing I can think of is it got automatically returned to sender at some point (customs?). Was just 1x 8TB for me

      Just has a chat to support and apparently it was lost in transit (specifically the pickup stage from the warehouse). A bit of a shame as I had my hopes up for this great deal…

      Seems to be blocked / deleted?

      What was it about?

        Guessing you're not a member of OzBargain or haven't met the requirements if you are.

        The person that runs it said this in a previous post:

        I've found an HDD vendor in HK on eBay who is selling large capacity enterprise-level hard drives at a pretty good price (cheaper than Amazon) and provide a reasonable level of post-sale support.
        If we have enough interest and we can order in bulk, the seller can supply the HDDs at a better price compared to their eBay listings.
        Please be mindful that all the HDDs are OEM stock, so you will not get a warranty direct from manufacturers (Seagate, or WD), the warranty will need to claim with the seller, and the seller will arrange the return label for the warranty.

          Thanks for copying here.

          Apologies - I had been logged out of OzB, but I hadn't realised. Once I logged in again, the link worked (works).
