I don't fucking know it would help if you posted links you greedy cunt.

No, they wouldn't have shipped it yet.

Hey dumbfuck, the sale is over.

There's also this amazing site called google. Fucking use it you autist.

>Dell Price $79.99

I know you're autistic but if you would direct your attention to

yeah it's almost like they fixed it you buttfucking mongo

This shit never works, they cancel the orders. Dumbass.

i paid for next day shipping and ordered it right when they put this error up lol maybe i will be getting 5 wd ssds in the mail by the 6th

I got an email saying my order shipped. Along with a tracking number

now we see where the $20 came from

are you a wizard?

If we did the free shipping are we more likely to cancel?

I like to think it would be all or nothing, if they are losing money selling then at 20$ im sure they will cancel them all

>tfw Canadian

It doesn't matter, they're not going to ship them

How do you know?

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

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

Good luck.

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?

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

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.

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.

Its a 250GB SSD from WD for $20. We may be mostly autistic NEETs but we are not retarded.

IT'S HAPPENING

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

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.

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

Thats just double. You're wrong

no, it wouldn't.

that's an exceptionally awful deal, actually.

Find me a brand new 250GB+ HD for $20

320gb WD for $17

amazon.com/dp/B000VZ40CI/?tag=pcpapi-20

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.

Don't get excited yet. Get excited when it gets shipped.

>Ships from and sold by Bipra Limited Number 1 Hard Drive Specialist USA.
I don't think I'd trust Pajeet's possibly used drives.

The entire burgerland economy functions on the basis of renting and loaning. Almost nobody actually owns a car or even a cell phone there.

I live in the same state as Warren Buffett.
He owns a pretty massive furniture store here that generates almost all revenue from financing.

>tfw live 4 blocks from warren buffet

He lives in a pretty unassuming house.

I got a confirmation email, however I only bought 1 SSD with the express shipping

i've driven past his house almost every day of my life because farnam street is the best way to get to Dodge for me.

his house was a great place to go trick or treating at as a kid. he'd give away huge bags of candy to each kid.

I got 15, hope they ship =/
even with shipping if I resell them I can make a 500% profit because SSDs are expensive here

>unassuming house.
you dont get rich by writing checks

simplify your life, live frugally, you spend less money and you save more. its not rocket science.

confirmation doesn't mean they're sending it you dweebs. It just means that they've received your order. They won't ship these.

Mad you didn't get to play the price mistake lottery?

No because I had no need for it friendo

yeah he mad.

>no need for a hd for $20
sure, like any of us is going to believe that. we gambled $20 some more than that, we will either get a SSD or our $20 back. we lose nothing.

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

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.

>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.

A hard drive (HD) is always mechanical

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

literally says you.
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.

Several people on slick deals are saying that their orders are shipping, even if you got 10

see
>disk
a disk, DISK, physical round object

Outside of the computer illiterate, I've never heard a single person ever refer to an ssd as a hard drive.

>physical round object
That's a DISC with a C.

>disk
>noun
>US spelling of disc, also widely used in computing contexts.
Holy shit you're retarded, don't go around internationally much I guess?

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.
wrong

You're pulling shit out of your ass now.
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.

What about external hard drives?

>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?

yall motherfuckers need english 101

it's macOS

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

kek

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.

Autists in Sup Forums seriously think one of them is correct and the others are wrong.

Ok

kek, rekt

>ask for coke
>it's fentanyl

Nope, HD is HARD DISK. HDD is the complete acronym. As SSD is for Solid State Drive but you don't see people saying SS cause we are not nazis.

You should come to We will have a two week long thread about it

I think he was talking about general usage

You remind me of my friend, I was scared of drinking together with him in public because he would sieg hail to everyone when drunk

soda pop. done.

Solid hard drive. Done.

Meme. Done.

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

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

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

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

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.

>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.

Nice dubs

Also they are reportedly honoring some orders

People on Slick Deals are claiming they have gotten shipment orders this morning, even with the free shipping.
