    I previously bought from Amazon UK and gave up a good few years ago due to the way drives were packed. So ended up using Scan UK for hard drives as they did a brilliant job packaging and were about the same price but Brexit has stopped me from buying now.

    Need to get a few drives for a couple of NAS units soon so am wondering where to purchase from now in Europe?

    Amazon probably. What size drives you looking for?

    You can purchase direrctly from western digital, if you like their drives. When they have offers, they can be as competive, or even cheaper than Amazon.

    No need to shout. Nobody is using 1TB drives in a NAS. We're talking 14 or 16TB usually.




    Shucking is your best value. Got a drive from Amazon last week, no problems. Loose drives are vulnerable if mispacked but dont buy loose drives and you wont have a problem. Retail packaging can be shipped with nothing extra and the drive would be fine.

    The most common drive to fail in my experience is a Toshiba drive...
