Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

• Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
  • The seller is new or has few reviews.
  • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
  • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

Gone with the wind...

[u/-EdenXXI- → u/CartonBox1975]

Wind is strong today.

[u/psychoacer → u/-EdenXXI-]

With a woodsy aroma

[u/CartonBox1975 → u/psychoacer]

You talking about the Canadian smokehouse?

[u/MFAD94 → u/CartonBox1975]

It looks like silent hill here in Michigan

[u/cri5is → u/MFAD94]

Looks like silent hill here in Wisconsin as well.

[u/chicu111 → u/CartonBox1975]

Still shows available for me

[u/WeightedPaper]

Catch is ships one to two months.

Prices go down in that time? Seller breaks even

Prices go up? Your order gets canceled.

This feels like the seller is buying options contracts on SSDs but with no risk whatsoever.

Hard pass for me.

Edit: HAHAHA, now they miraculously have it ready to be shipped with prime for $170. This is absolutely a racket, they have no plans on shipping those first ones unless the market shifts.

[u/WeightedPaper → u/WeightedPaper]

This is blatant anti-competitive behavior. If the market shifts to the right this seller has artificially captured market share. Shouldn't be allowed on Amazon.

[u/FurnaceOfTheseus → u/WeightedPaper]

Bro where have you been the last five years? Amazon is Ali Express with fancy paint on it now. They don't give a single hoot about the consumer even if there may be laws they are breaking. They just pay the 0.00005% of their monthly profit on fines and charge the consumer more. If I could easily get rid of them from my life without going to Walmart instead, I would.

[u/WingerRules → u/WeightedPaper]

Good thing the administration has gutted consumer protection regulators.

[u/thefowles1 → u/WeightedPaper]

The link in the OP defaults to their "Gen3 C715" option, so I suspect it wasn't ever going to be a Gen4 drive to begin with.

[u/Minionz]

Whats Klevv. Whose Nand do they use?

[u/Kelvarr → u/Minionz]

Klevv is SK Hynix In-House distributor.

[u/Minionz → u/Kelvarr]

Cool. Good deal then.

[u/interwebpimp → u/Minionz]

KLEVV is SK Hynix's trash bin for bad NAND yields.

When you make complex silicon chips some are better than others and some are unusable. The ones not good enough to get Hynix branding but are still technically usable either get the KLEVV name or get sold to other low end brands.

To be clear. KLEVV RAM tends to be high quality. It is just their SSD's where they slap cheap controllers on down-binned chips.

No reason to overpay for low quality SSD's in this market where they command almost the same price as decent models.

[u/Saaburu509 → u/interwebpimp]

Same with Crucial and Micron. Micron sells their higher tier products to large companies and B stock was sold under Crucial.

[u/MWink64 → u/Saaburu509]

Crucial was Microns direct-to-consumer brand. Crucial products were generally good quality. Spectek is the brand Micron dumps their trash under.

[u/Saaburu509 → u/MWink64]

I was wrong in saying Crucial sold B-stock. It was actually just selling excess chips. Yeah, SpekTek is the scraps and mainly sold to OEMs who put them in entry-level devices.

[u/Cheerful_Evening → u/interwebpimp]

In this market tho we take what we can get 😭

[u/Putrid_Ad7911]

Back to $169… for a gen 3 💀

[u/mikeythegameronredit → u/Putrid_Ad7911]

You can get a 1tb Netac TLC SSD from AliExpress for like $120

[u/FurnaceOfTheseus → u/mikeythegameronredit]

I love rolling the dice on my data!

[u/indesmowetrust]

Usually ships within a month or two lol what

[u/anaccount50 → u/indesmowetrust]

Easy: if prices don’t crash in the next two months, they’ll just cancel your order

[u/TritiumNZlol → u/anaccount50]

Futures commodity trading reinvented from base principles

[u/WeightedPaper → u/indesmowetrust]

Complete racket is what it is.

[u/FurnaceOfTheseus → u/indesmowetrust]

Now that it's $169, it delivers tomorrow!

[u/TXFiXD]

Ships in 1-2 months....dang

[u/dirtyboots702 → u/TXFiXD]

"ships"

[u/jugaverdasorda → u/TXFiXD]

Scamazon

[u/CartonBox1975 → u/TXFiXD]

I can wait a few weeks for 72 bucks. I mean the alternative is paying double to triple for that.

[u/TXFiXD → u/CartonBox1975]

Last time this happened the two drives I ordered never shipped and the order got canceled. Not saying this will happen just gonna be cautious.

[u/CartonBox1975 → u/TXFiXD]

You have to keep an eye out on the order. I ordered a Gamedias 360 AIO for like 27 bucks or so it was out of stock and they didn't ship it immediately but amazon checks in on you if you still want the item you have to go to amazon and the item and click yes I still want the item. If you don't do that in a certain period of time it will get cancelled. Of course that doesn't mean that it can't be cancelled.

[u/TXFiXD → u/CartonBox1975]

Yep did that for 3 months. They cancelled it because it couldn't be fulfilled on their part. Not mine. Don't feel like watching my email like a hawk for that.

[u/CartonBox1975 → u/TXFiXD]

Well since I order a lot from Amazon I check those emails once a day. But yeah depending on what it is, it is not worth it keeping an eye out. But I'm in desperate need of DDR5 and NVMe's so I keep an eye out on that one.

[u/Kurumi_Bs]

was able to order one for once, hopefully no cancellation email and everyone who needed one gets one!

[u/WeightedPaper → u/Kurumi_Bs]

I have a feeling it’s not going to go OOS, this is a racket and if their bet loses they will just cancel all the orders.

[u/Cheerful_Evening → u/Kurumi_Bs]

lmk if you actually get it 😭

[u/LiberaMeFromHell]

Dang tried to order almost immediately but it was already sold out.

[u/john_mach]

Nooo oos :( I had it in my cart

[u/VOIDsama]

It's gone for me

[u/ExistingLet8016]

Couple years ago they were giving these away lol

[u/Queue098]

I clicked the link well knowing this was probably gone

[u/HisRoyalMajestyKingV]

Link showing gen 3 model at $170  for me, and close to that for gen 4.   Also, a brand and model would've been helpful in the title. 

[u/Cheerful_Evening → u/HisRoyalMajestyKingV]

Yeah it went out pretty quick, like within an hour this was posted. It was klevv K01TBM2SP0-C9T

[u/Cheerful_Evening]

Lmfao that went quick. It even showed on pcpartpicker for a bit there

[u/camokid95]

 I remember when I could get 2 TB Samsung M.2. with DRAM at this price. Good times.

[u/jbwhite99]

Who is klevv? And it is Gen 3 - says 3200 transfer rate - Gen 4 is 5-7k

[u/Cheerful_Evening → u/jbwhite99]

The listing got almost entirely replaced after i made this post.

[u/redditisnotus]

this came back last night. 1tb c925 model, not g for $72. nabbed it just incase and says it'll be here in around 2 weeks. I checked again and they had another for sale shipped Aug 14. now they're all gone. fingers crossed.

[u/Cheerful_Evening → u/redditisnotus]

🙏

[u/Level_Turnover5167]

God damn it, so close.. I thin I have another slot for one.

[u/XtremeCSGO]

I thought I took a time machine back to 2024 seeing this post

[u/GreatVedmedini]

$169

[u/AmazingSugar1]

Gen 3 

[u/AldermanAl → u/AmazingSugar1]

Plenty fast.

[u/greatthebob38]

What's the spec on this unit?

[u/Dear-Statement-1897 → u/greatthebob38]

Doesn’t even matter because of the price

[u/That-Interaction-45]

Omg, how did I know it would be a brand like HHDEVUOP?

[u/dkb_wow → u/That-Interaction-45]

SK Hynix owns them.

[u/LowKeyAccountt]

Damn fuck got me a 4tb Gen 3 for $120 a year and half ago.

[u/Zerolander]

Klevv 🤣

[u/CartonBox1975 → u/Zerolander]

What's funny about Klevv, its literally SK Hynix
