Think I got a bargain on the WD My Book Duo 16 TB

Ordered from amazon uk : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073ZMWD98/
On the page it shows 349 GBP but on checkout only 291 GBP. Landed cost was shown as R6755 but I chose to pay in GBP and with currency conversion it came to R6708 which was confirmed by sms from the bank

Quite interesting that the same item on amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074QW86T4 had a landed cost of R9557.

R6700 not bad considering these WD Red NAS drives cost around 4k each on their own.

Is it a Red drive? Did you try and take it out of the enclosure? Or are they white-label drives?

This bad boy was delivered today and it has indeed proper red drives (WD80EFAX) with 256 cache. I'm really impressed.

edit: this drive is the 3rd fastest 8tb produced by wd only behind the gold (datacenter WD8003FRYZ and WD8002FRYZ) drives. And only by 86 points.

Still stock of the white ones on loot @R399

Can get the orange ones on takealot for the same price if you use (one of) your R200 visa voucher(s) ;)

edit: geez, in this review of the speakers about 4 years ago they had RRP of R1749

No, white would have been perfect, the blue was a bit too much :(
 
Ok so here is an update on this voucher thingy....prior to when this Voucher thingy came up I purchased alot of stuff on their sale. Last week sometime, Takealot sends out a survey with the question: would I refer Takelot to everyone or something like this. It was a rating scale...I marked 0 no recommendation and in the content block I stated that a return is sitting at reception desk since the 6 August the date it was supposed to be collected and second reason....I received no voucher after my latest purchase (airtime). Guess what, today I received a call from the courier company asking where they should collect the return. This I found astounding because my details are all onnthe system and it seemed as if Takealot sent half the info through to the fourier company or so they say. What was also amazing is that my illusive R200 Voucher was also received in my email in box...same day.

Coincidence, me thinks not...it appears as if Takelot takes feedback seriously and reacts almost immediately. The question would be Why react though...why wait for negative feedback (at first I ignored this survey for a few days) and then provide the service due? This voucher...like all members validated....should have been received 24 hours after the purchase was made. I must say this experience left me with mixed feelings though.

You guys can make up your own minds on this one.
