I thought my Sigma 17-50mm from BestBuy was going to get canceled.

Nope, got all 3 of them for $100 each.

Good luck.

>>58337782
They better issue some fucking refunds then. The cost of refunding credit cards at scale that this is at may make it where they'll be in the red which ever way they go. We may actually get these drives.

Hey, guys. I'm the OP from the original thread.
Have you guys gotten any tracking information, correspondence from Dell, anything along those lines?

>>58338376
Nah I ordered mine at 12:35 and another order at 12:45ish(debating if I wanted another)

Only the confirmation and waiting for updates now, thanks for headsup btw.

Poorfag like me bought two, one for laptop and the other to resell and make profit and clear the cost

Thanks senpai

>>58338376
Nothing yet, only the confirmation email. Ordered one. We could all have gotten away with it if we had just ordered one.

I ordered two. I received an order confirmation... nothing on shipping yet. We'll see.

>>58338465
I know it seems stupid, but I really didn't think you guys were going to go ape shit over those SSDs.
That was like watching black friday happen on a message board.

Let me put it in another way.

Even if it was a plain 5400RPM 2.5" 250GB HD brand new for $20 it would still be worth it.

>out of stock

fuck me

>>58338643
Very true. I still don't know why I showed you guys this.
Christmas left me broke and I couldn't afford one for myself even if they were just $20 lol.

>>58338677
No.
You can get 2tb 7200 for $80.

Thats just double. You're wrong

>>58338677

no, it wouldn't.

that's an exceptionally awful deal, actually.

nice. except thats 3.5".

I had to find a HD for a laptop recently, there was nothing under $40.

Bought three, going to be annoyed if the reseller niggers get their orders and mine gets cancelled.

>>58339264
>no need for a hd for $20
>hd
retard

>>58339268
seriously? you want to argue semantics? it is an HD (hard drive). It happens to be a solid state one, it still is a hard drive, it could be a mechanical hard drive, but it is a solid state one.

>>58339361
>A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive or fixed disk[b] is a data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital information using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material.

>>58339361
A hard drive (HD) is always mechanical

>>58339382
HD is the abbreviation for Hard Disk (drive) though.

>>58339382
literally says you.
>>58339381
using outdate definitions to suit your argument.

language evolves, just like the term hacker, it means what people make it mean, if everyone uses the word hacker to define somene who breaks into networks, then that is what it means, no matter how you feel about it.

Holy shit you're retarded, don't go around internationally much I guess?

>>58339500
Correct, but HD still does not mean "Hard Drive". A SSD should not be called a hard drive, but you were still wrong about that.
>>58339524
wrong

>>58339500
You're pulling shit out of your ass now.
>>58339524
>>58339539
>>58339505
It literally doesn't matter, the way the term "hard drive" or "hard disk" is used to refer to a storage medium that is attached to your computer innards not through external USB or other connections. Making both mechanical and non mechanical drives HDs.

You don't call a flash drive SSDs do you? Because technically they are solid state drives. You people are letting marketing departments and buzzwords run your lives. Call a spade a space.

>>58339567
What about external hard drives?

>>58339567
>You don't call a flash drive SSDs do you?
Nope, because a drive is inside your computer, unless it's an EXTERNAL DRIVE, like a SSD or HDD enclosure


HD is always a HDD, mechanical

Period, keep trolling faggots

isn't the default volume name for macos still 'Macintosh HD' even though most of their product line come with ssd?

Instead of learning something new and stopping using the wrong term, confusing other in the future too, you just bitch and cry

kek

>>58339567
No, I call it a flash drive because that's the name of the technology that powers the storage device. From time to time, I've heard people refer to internal ssd's as flash drives as well. The reason for the "ssd" name is because early ssd's didn't use flash memory and so they were given a general term that could apply to many different technologies. Hard drives, however, specifically refer to the fact that they use hard disks, to differentiate them from soft (floppy) disks.

Are we going to shitpost sweet nothings until we get or don't get our solid discular devices?

>>58339991
That's my plan until the mail comes today.

One can't help but think that even after ~11 hours since this was discovered, not a single person has confirmed their order was cancelled, they are giving SOME thought to honoring any of the orders . They have to be sweating over this, no? What's taking them so long to react?

If anything, they could just ignore people that ordered say more then 2 ( or even 1) and only honor it to people that weren't trying turn a profit selling dozens of drives online for 250% markup

>>58340077
>or even 1
>tfw I ordered one, then decided to order another
:^)

>>58340077
Or they've simply halted all orders containing the drives and are working on unfucking their mess.

>>58340077
It's US based, right? How are the laws there?
In EU they would have to, it would be cheaper then taking them to court. I got a 960 for 70 eur once like that, someone forgot to type the number in front of 70 I guess.

>>58340158
>It's US based, right? How are the laws there?
Laws here are fucked, they could cancel all the orders and offer people to buy it for the higher price but they are not held to the prices that are on their store.

However, they can't force you to pay the higher price.

I didn't order any, but I'll keep lurking until I get confirmation.
Nice to know some anons got lucky.

Does he leave the house now that Piccolo Pete's closed? I'm surprised he didn't buy it just to keep it open. The prime rib was as good as he said.

Even people that ordered 5 have gotten shipping confirmations.

of course they are getting canceled. this was all over the internet for 5+ hours. i read about people ordering 100+ ssds to resell. they must have sold at least 100,000 of these--do you really think theyre going to ship 100,000+ items bought because of a pricing error? not happening

>>58340376
holy shit.

I bought 5 sata and 5 m.2

i really hope these shits ship

>>58340444
The was 5 per person. And I seriously doubt a store would have over 100,000 inventory of any single item to sell. The item page says it's sold out now, so they probably sold all of the couple thousand of them they had.

That's some dumb shit poorfag ass lickers say.

This guy has a net worth of over $73 billion.

>simplify your life, live frugally, you spend less money and you save more.

He reached that level like 40 fucking years ago. Yet he's still living in the same way, he didn't get worth 73 billion dollars by driving an 80s car and eating potato soup every night. You do not get rich by saving. You get rich by making a lot of money.

I don't know what the hell that prick has ever said. That is MY line. For every time I see a rich person there's always thousands sucking their cock/clit and jerking over the one thing they once shared in common; being frugal. They just did it out of choice but others do it out of necessity.

>Doesn't change the fact that he got lucky.

No really. He's spent his whole life trying to make money, it just so happens that money kind of snowballs and leads to exponential growth.

So do a lot of other people, they don't get lucky. For every buffet there are hundreds or thousands that got in debt and didn't make a dime. that is why people play the lottery or go to the casino, the house always wins, and everyone thinks they can be the one to get ahead of them.

>>58348839
you probably have a good chance. Looks like Dell is upholding this, as long as the purchase is small (< 5ish)

So, now I'm curious.

If you owned dell, what would you do in this situation?

I would ship all single quantity orders, and anyone with more than one I would offer to refund them and give them a one time use coupon for 1 ssd for 20 dollars, along with grovelling apologies and corporate dick sucking.

>>58348847
seriously how? i thought ssds were still 50 cents/gb.

>>58348886
Really hoping I get these though, planned to keep one for myself and sell the rest and put the profit towards a gtx 1080

If I can buy a 1080 I'm buying a 1080. Really just depends on how much I get though, I was thinking about a 1070 but I just think having a 1080 would be amazing. You're probably right though, I don't even play many gpu intensive games.

I just picked up 10TB for $120, so I'm good.

the hp laptop thing was cancelled after 5 days, you aren't in the clear until it drops through your mailbox

>>58348995
What was the hp laptop thing?

>>58348980
Just get a small SSD for your OS, and a HDD for everything else. Unless you just have too much money on your hands.

>>58348980
Only IOPS are produced by better NAND at this point.
If you want sequential just get several and RAID them until desired effect.

>>58348989

yea for me, I think 1070 has the best bang for the buck.

That being said, if I wanted to power a 4k monitor, I'd def go with the 1080.

>>58349005
HP were selling god tier laptops for actual pennies a few months ago, /g/ went mental and ordered hundreds

>>58349039
>/g/ went mental and ordered hundreds

damn thats literally 10's of dollars

>>58349017
i thought RAID had very little effect on sequential write speed and was just for read speeds.

>>58348983
Jesus Christ, thats it guys, might as well call it done.

GG.

>>58349071
Assuming your RAID solution supports round robin and volume management in a non retarded way...
If you stripe you'll get more throughput but same IOPS.
If you mirror you get more IOPS and throughput on reads.
If you stripe and mirror you get write in half quantities but can scale that half quantity infinitely with relative safety and full sequential/ IOPS on reads that each device can independently report.

>>58349030
I'll think about it, I'll have a 1920x1080 144hz, a 1920x1080 60hz, and a 1600x900 60hz. Most of the time I'm playing with friends and nothing is really on the other monitors. If I'm on alone I'll put a twitch stream up.
I'll definitely consider a 1070 and look to see if that's right for me.

>>58349170
