- Amazon is selling the WD 10TB My Book Desktop External Hard Drive for $80.
Our Verdict
Normal price is around $220, cheapest previously is $140 I think so a significant discount. Not sure if this is a price mistake or genuine sale but very good deal regardless. Seems like other WD products are also on deep discount.
I ordered the 16tb one for $169. Got email this morning saying it was a price error and won’t honor. Givignme a $20 credit for my troubles. =\
Same here. Ordered 3x16TB. Got email this morning about the cancellation and $20 my next order. I see many in slickdeals not get it even though they Are Prime member and have a long history with Amazon. Maybe it’s just random.
Click Bait. The drive is over $250.
Click Bait. The drive is $250
Read the comments, the drive was clearly $80 when posted. We are not on the site 24/7 to update to sold out/price change.
William Charles When I click on the link it says the price is $234.99.
same here. it’s gone
Deal is dead.
Was a mistake. Price is now changed back to $234.99.
Well it let me order the 16gb at $169, let see if it fulfills.
Dead. Looking at Keepa this seems to have been live between 3:46am and 8:23am ET.
Clearly a price mistake, but being Amazon I wouldn’t be surprised if they honor it.
I missed it by 20 minutes but good luck to those who placed an order.
16TB Duo is still available at $169 which I’m sure is a price mistake too, though “Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we’ll deliver when available.”! It still my work, I just ordered one.
Just ordered as well. Likely to be cancelled but maybe not. If they fixed one seems like they would fix them all.
Nothing to lose. I ordered the 16TB as well.
I just purchased one as well, looks like BestBuy selling it for $560+ was able to also use $10 off coupon. If it goes through, I have to then figure out how to sell it. Amazon maybe?
They may not have fixed anything. The 10TB may have simply gone OOS (for the listing that was available DIRECTLY via Amazon) w/o it being configured for backorder (or the # of backorders has exceed some maximum # threshold).
If this isn’t a price mistake, and if they get their hands on more stock of the 10TB unit, the deal should resurrect itself.
If the drive gets relisted (DIRECTLY via Amazon) at a MUCH higher price, then you’ll know it was a price mistake.
I just placed an order for the 16tb also. We’ll see if it’s honored or not.
Thank you for mentioning Duo. I would be more surprised if Amazon didn’t honor their own prices.
If one is worried – buy from somewhere else and screenshot it for a price match/price rewind/price protection claim. That’s what churning has learned me.
Cancelled, so I’m “more surprised” lol.
Got the $20 coupon.
Looks like a price error.
Dead…now $234.99
Deal is dead, but got 3 ordered. Thank you so much, doc! This was probably a price mistake, or at least a deal of the decade!
