I ordered a couple of NAS drives during the holiday specials thinking the same thing. Received a confirmation email saying they would ship in a few days. 4 weeks passed without a single peep from WD. Started to get nervous my order would be cancelled. Then first week of January I got an email saying they were backordered but should be fulfilled “soon”. Didn’t get my drives till end of January but well worth the wait.

Speaking of audiophile features, might one of those features include the ability to adjust track replay gain? I have a ton of music I have to adjust and don’t feel like downloading a whole separate program to do it.
