Was looking at the Wireless Passport Pro on the UK site, and tried to apply the 20% discount I received in my email, but was told it wasn’t valid. Does it only work on the US store?
Thanks
Darren
I’ve just tried it on the UK site for the PR4100 and it doesn’t work either - but it did work on the US site. However the US site won’t ship to the UK. First Brexit now this? Bah humbug!
Doesn’t work in Germany either, so it’s got at least nothing to do with UK’s fatal decision.
But if all plex pass members should be able to benefit, it would be nice if that was actually the case 
(And if a company sends out email to their customers, there should be an option for a customer to send an email to the company as well, the form on the website is not convenient at all…)
Hope this gets fixed soon,
Christian
Hey!
Same situation in Germany. I have tried the code in the german store with no luck. In the US store it works fine.
I would love to buy the Passport. Is there any possible way to get it with discount in Germany?
Greetings
Tim
Aye same here in Denmark… Perfect timing though, as I have been looking for a NAS lately - but alas =((
When you state “this discount is available to all Plex Pass members by clicking below and using this discount code.” Please make sure that all, actually means all…
Needlessly insulting to your non-American customers, and surprising given that the developers behind Plex are spread throughout the world.
Please guys, where do i find the code for Germany?
This is being looked into by WD.
If been a plex pass member on and off but was just “off” when the code was sent

Not to pick a nit too finely but that is not quite true. The vote says basically that the UK is to leave the EU but it does not actually remove the UK from the EU. That comes later after people (Parliament and various bureaucrats) figure out how to disentangle the many parts of the economy from the EU’s multi-armed monster.
Since I am not in the UK or in any country in the EU I have not read the exact text of the referendum but what I have seen says that the UK is to implement legislation/rules/agreements to remove the UK from the EU in a fairly short time.
My granddaughters, who have just returned to France and Switzerland, say the vote cause a bit of an uproar there in the press and in economic circles but that quickly dies down and they never heard people in general even discussing it.
Now having said that and to move away from politics and economics I do believe that there should be no regional restrictions on offers like this offered through a company like Plex and WD that have a pretty much world wide presence and I do NOT buy the “We are working on it” cop out. It is not hard at all to fix this kind of thing and it should have been fixed, at the worst, within hours of it being discovered.
The only exception, which could be true, is if the devices involved are somehow “export/import restricted” as many computer products are. But I do not think that is the case at all as my eldest granddaughter checked from Switzerland and the products seem readily available there.
Personally I keep waffling on whether to keep my current reliable system with twelve 3, 4 and 5 TB drives connected via USB or move to a more self contained system and this offer gave me another system to look at but it seems, even with the discount, overpriced by a fair margin.

I was joking of course.
I agree with you that it should be available everywhere.
What’s new here? Especially for Germany?

How are you doing 12 drives over USB? Do you have 12 USB ports or are you using a hub of some sort?

I have two 8 port USB 3.0 hubs connected to two USB 3.0 ports. No problems or issues except I initially did not attach labels to each drive and it made identifying them harder than it needed to be. I since have gone to the trouble of identifying each drive and attaching a label to each that uniquely identifies each drive and now, if I want to find a given drive it is easy. Of course in the six or seven months since I made those labels I have had no reason to need to access one of the drives separately.
However I will run out of 3.0 ports if I add four more drives. But by the time I need that much space we might be up to 18 TB drives (56 TB for four ports) so I doubt that I will ever need more ports. Even 5 TB drives would allow 20 TB additional space and that will probably work for me for a good long time. My library is no longer growing fast as I have converted 99% of the extensive library I inherited as well as the stuff I have acquired on my own.
In my reading I have found that you can daisy chain USB hubs up to at least four deap (I think it is more like six or eight) and that would allow something like a total of 58 USB 3.0 ports using the same hubs I am using and that is much more than enough for any conceivable expansion I might want to use.
There may be operating system or even machine dependent limits but I do not think I am close to those so I think I am safe for a quite long time. If worse comes to worse I can always fire up one or two of the low powered computers I have lying around and attach storage to them and share it on my network. I do not think that will be needed but the option is available and I have tested and it will work fine.
By the time I run out of options I guess there will be subspace storage options and the storage available will be nearly infinite as will also be the computing power. See the short story: “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov. Of course by that time media, as we know it, will be obsolete and the direct neural interface will “beam” entertainment directly into the mind. See the movie: “Brainstorm”
