There's always ways around the limitations, so you'll probably get as many as you want.I'm probably going to walk into our Best Buy today and see if I can grab more than one.
Best Buy is the exclusive seller of the Easy Store series. The Easy Stores available on Amazon are by third party sellers who buy them from Best Buy and resell them. Otherwise, Newegg and Amazon only carry the My Book, which while similar, doesn't guarantee a WD Red or white label Red. The drives in the My Books also need a script run on the server to enable TLER at every cold boot, as the setting doesn't stick.just let you know guys..
it was 145 on Amazon and B&H, waiting to drop to 145 again, I bought $160 a week ago on newegg.
160 is common price as far...

mybook hardware encryption is on the bridge, it's internal is regular HDD. I know 8T and 10TB have 99.99% probability is white label, speaking of today.Oh nice! I wasn't aware that the 10TB WD Elements contains an He EMAZ drive too. AFAIK, the 8TB WD Elements drives from last year had non-He drives inside (the ones with the hole).
Isn't the hardware encryption on the My Books facilitated by the USB-SATA bridge itself? i.e. if you shuck it, it operates like a normal drive.
Sure, I agree that less than scrupulous people who are obsessed with getting reds and kept returning drives that were not red label are kind of missing the point. Anyway I haven't seen any actual red labels in my shucked drives since nearly a year now, though reports sometimes pop up of having reds inside. The white labels perform just fine though.
