They're for NAS only.

Nah... the WD Reds are optimised for NAS (they are rated for double the load/unload cycles over, say, the WD Greens) but they can be used elsewhere as a regular drive too.

Cracking Good deal if you want a desktop drive and of there's any in stock (couldn't see any anywhere in Scotland)

Judging by the comments on Hot UK Deals it seems it was *fairly* wide spread - even had some available to buy online and on their ebay store

I got one
:-$
I'd ordered a 5TB Seagate initially from Amazon, then realised that the WD Elements is £10 cheaper and has an extra year of warranty...

I nearly bought a Toshiba external drive that was on offer in Tesco (seen it without an offer for the same price since though) and was going to rip the HDD out of it. Luckily I'd found out the drive inside has a proprietary connector soldered to the drive. And the USB connection on it is crap and comes loose causing connection problems.
