Any good for shucking?

Looking to use it for a NAS.

Just but this instead, it's cheaper

I got one at £199 with six power cycles and zero hours

I've got one of these (not a recertification) for my media drive connected to nas. Its a bit slow when loaded with TBs of data but all around its been reliable and would recommend. (edited)

similar to what I received. Just wonder if these info would be reset in the recertification process?
25th Apr

Topcashback of a few % works also for anyone grabbing.

good stuff, code works nicely on other items too :-)

Was about to spring for a 12TB (new) from Amazon at £217. Bit nervous about the recertification but an extra 4TB and £40 less it's probably worth the risk. Thanks for the post.

broadly i trust these recerts more than i do recerts from amazon or whatever. being done in house by WD and getting at least a year warranty somewhat soothed me.

Does anybody know about access times on these? I have a 8gb one and from rest it can almost take a half a minute to a minute to boot to access which is alot more then my 4gb one. Is that normal with these and would this one take longer ? Thanks
19th Apr
There is no guarantee for access times on a shucked white label drive, it will vary depending on model. The average speed will be what you get from the drive when in the enclosure and connected via USB.
24th Apr
thanks OP - just what i was after - ordered
29th Apr
can you recommend external hdd with main power supply and longer warranty.1-4 TB ?

The discount code doesn't work for me.

It gives a price of £199.99 saying that the original price of £311.99 has been discounted to £199.99.

Or, if you apply the TECHRADAR10 code, it says "This promotion applies on the Original Price. Any product discount will be removed. This Coupon code may not be stackable with other Coupon code..." And then calculates thus: £311.99-31.19=£280.80
