Yes, I've just been reading reviews of 16TB, or thereabouts, drives on 
Amazon UK, and there have been several reported cases of that in the 
reviews of some suppliers there.  Consequently, I decided to buy direct 
from WD, but as a result am having to wait a month for my order to be 
fulfilled.

It seems that SATA connections might be becoming obsolete, with 
something called SAS taking over?  For example:

https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/internal-drives/data-center-drives/ultrastar-dc-hc560-hdd?sku=0F38652

I'm rather out of the loop on the latest developments, and anyway need 
SATA drives, so don't know much about SAS.
