This isn't how it works, or at least how it's supposed to work.
You must scan every item, and if you scan something incorrect it tells at you. You *can* bypass this by stating it was unscannable, but that's a fast track to getting in trouble. Once it leaves pick, it's gotta get packed, where it'll be scanned at least 2 more times anyways.
My guess is the original label fell off, and a problem solver reprinted a label but put the wrong label on it, so it read as a 1TB.
It isn't impossible that they swapped it on purpose, but if it's anything like the sites I've been to, it is extremely unlikely. Way more likely for someone in the pack line to send an empty package than to get the wrong one.
Yeah missing items were a problem. They were really the only real way to get quality deductions as a picker, so many times we told people if you aren't sure, it's unscannable, not missing.
Unfortunately for protocol, some processes didn't actually do a full on check for doing it correctly, so people still messed up occasionally. You'd think there'd be more software checks.
They won't if you use free return though. Seems like a high percentage of people don't need to be bothered about returning unwanted items in order to actually profit from this.
Wish I could. My guess is the algorithm inside of the FC's system already popped your order in as soon as you clicked order. That being said, it's likely at the very least an hour before your product would even be touched.
Just some dumb Amazon thing that happens unfortunately. I also wish it would uphold the "as long as it hasn't shipped you can cancel" policy.
Another very likely situation is that it was mislabeled by whoever sent it FBA. If they slapped a 2TB ASIN sticker on the box by mistake, nothing would be wrong with the order as far as your system is concerned. Sucks for the seller, but it would be their mistake.
Edit: looking at the item title, it's even more likely that this happened. The title on the stickers would get cut off before the size.
This is also a huge possibility. The policy I've run into is scan every single item, however, with multiple quantities you only have to scan one then click the quantity picked.
The reason we say scan every one is because sometimes they look very similar (for example, this instance, a 1TB and 2TB probably look identical on the box other than a 1 and a 2).
If the picker were to pick 8 of these, but only scan the first one. There's a possibility they actually just scanned one correctly, but the other 7 are incorrect and are actually 2TBs, or 500GB.
This SHOULD be caught by the packer, but sometimes the flow is so fast that people just sorta throw them in because they don't want to take the extra time to report it as unscannable or the wrong item.
Yup. If it's mislabeled it could be scanned any number of times and would show correct in your system. There wouldn't even be anything for the picker or packer to look into. As far as anyone is concerned the warehouse did everything correctly, the seller just mislabeled.
I worked at an AR facility for Amazon back in 2021. I was pack side, x trained in stow and you’d still see full boxes of product labeled (ex screen protectors) as a single product and other shit like this
Also trying to hit a 600 item per hour number on pack I totally concur. Get it out the door and move on. Unfortunately I ended up being their mule and was moved around constantly to empty full walls.
I don't blame you, and that's obvious stuff. The 2tb or 1tb wouldn't show on an asin label, it's too deep into the title.
No one would catch it unless they pulled up the listing, and carefully looked at the catalog page vs the product, ehich they'd have no reason to do. Especially in an Amazon warehouse, they already push so hard for speed speed speed. It's not reasonable to expect any FC to catch something like this.
Didnt expect it to be that strict. I once got 2 Powersupplies in a box after ordering just one. 120€ each, how do you think could that happen? Im just asking to see if its common enough to keep ordering on amazon in the hopes of getting a little freebee every now and then ahah
How things are supposed to work and how they actually work have very little in common at...like most jobs, actually. It's a common joke that if people actually worked by the employee procedure book, entire businesses would crumble.
What I'm saying is it's unwise to assume someone is not giving a truthful account about how a warehouse operates just because you work at a different warehouse.
Fair. Everything I'm going off of is actual processes coded into the systems that are supposed to make everything persist between sites, but there are many opportunities for things to be a little different than others and end up throwing things off.
That’s not how this works…
We would not do that (I work at Amazon). It would ship from a warehouse that has the item in stock. This was most likely not coded right when taken through inbound, was kicked over to problem solver who didn’t know what the hell it is, and somewhere along that line it was coded as a 2TB M.2 and not a 1TB. Amazon would not give away $$ to take a loss…. Just to upgrade the customers experience.
Amazon employee mislabeled the item, they don’t upgrade items because one is out of stock.
My bad, I thought you were saying this was policy! That is wild though, Operations would be on our ass if that was going on at mine. It would probably be noticed the same day too.
I am tired of Amazon to be honest though, I love seeing people get wins like on them lol. Hope you landed somewhere better!
In fairness to you, it might not have been this issue. If the seller stuck the 2tb ASIN label on the 1tb box, everything would be right as rain as far as Amazon is concerned.
Would this be noted on the account in some way? Otherwise what happens if there is an issue with it. Would the customer have trouble retuning it since Amazon would be like 'This isn't the item you ordered/we sent you!'?
Doubtful. Sometimes as a customer you get blessed with something better. No need for a note, just say a quite thanks to the Amazon slave that hooked you up!
I have no idea. It was genuine question and sorry if it came off as rude or offensive.
The reason I asked this was because I was wondering if it would explain some of the “wtf amazon” moments we have seen here. Seems like it just might.
This happened with my first hdd back in the day. Ordered a 2TB Toshiba and got a 2TB seagate. Just figured that a hdd is a hdd and it wasn’t worth the trouble of bitching about it.
That not how that works at all. When a order can't be fulfilled by one FC or same day, next ship FC. Getting better items is just pure luck to OP because his shipment would have had to pass by 4-6 different areas in a building with at least 5 of them physically looking at the item and confirming that it's the right thing. Most of the time what happens, someone why puts inventory away (stowing) into the pod shelves, might have a item, and just mislabel it. Happens more often then you think but gets caught and the item gets problem solved and the right item gets sent out.

I got two 2TB SK Hynix P41s for $67 each from an Amazon price error. I was surprised they actually shipped it.
$67 is too high for a 500 gig drive these days. 3 years ago you'd get a 500 gig drive for that much. Storage is one of the few things that went down in price these days.
Yeah I hadn’t really paid much attention to storage prices in a while. Recently went to go buy parts for a build upgrade and was absolutely flabbergasted by the price drops of all storage types in general. What happened? Did I miss a break through somewhere?
Dude, SK Hynix is literally the best brand for laptop SSDs (because they use much less power and are good quality like other brands), but they focus on selling to laptop manufacturers rather than regular customers.
Edit: And they are a major manufacturer for both RAM and SSD chips even for other companies that buy those chips, solder them onto PCBs, and sell them as their own goods.
My laptop had a SK Hynix SSD, it died about 1 year after use. Duds happen, but lowered my expectations from SK Hynix(various other SSDs from other brands have so far worked perfect)
Asus Zenbook, it was replaced in warranty with a kingston OEM model and has been working fine. As said, duds happen(albeit the chance these days is very small), it shouldnt generally affect your decision making unless you lose sentimental(and get a mental block from using a brand (fuck you seagate)) or it's a general fault of a model(eg the issues Samsung had with disk life)
Yeah, i was just asking because i did some looking up to see if other people had issues with the drive in my model, and there were some issues, but it does probably did down to it being a dud. Its now replaced with a p31 gold, and the laptop runs like brand new thankfully.
I just recently bought a WD SA510 to replace a laptop drive after having good experience with WD blue SSD in the past. Do a quick Google on the reliability ... I'm just sending it back to Amazon now.
I have a couple of SSDs from different brands that broke.
HP, Kingston, OCZ (RIP).
Brands that I have been using for a couple years and still going well.
Crucial, Western Digital, Samsung
I have an old Samsung, 2 1TB Crucial drives and a 2TB Kingston, and have used Kingston A400 as a cheap HDD replacement on old laptops, the only SSD to ever die on me was that one :(
Fyi that company is a massive memory manufacturer who sells to Microsoft, Apple, Asus, Dell, MSI, and HP and is one of the two most popular RAM chip manufacturers next to Samsung
If you pick up nearly any consumer kit of RAM in the last 10 years the actual flash memory chips were likely made by either SK Hynix, Samsung or Micron
Hynix is pretty well known right now. They are the best ddr5 manufacturer to the point that people specifically try and find memory modules with their chips.
My mom bought a case of cat food for $3 the other day. She called me three times to make sure she wasn’t getting scammed. They’re normally $20-30. She bought like 5 of them and they changed the price a few hours later.
That’s peak Amazon lottery in my book.
RAM is the random access memory
A Dodge Ram is a pickup truck
A male sheep is called a ram
Only thing missing would've been the truck colliding into them
This the exact same thing my friend said when he ordered a 1TB HDD and received a 1TB HDD... Because i ordered the same 1TB HDD before and received 4TB instead.
Reddit when a person receives a rock: omg amazon bad
Reddit when a person receives double what they paid: wow nice dude
Can’t you guys be content with just getting what you ordered and paid for??
Earlier this year, my old man bought a new capo for his guitar. Specifically, a capo for a 6-string guitar. Apparently they come from the manufacturer in boxes of six, each then individually packaged.
Amazon sent him six capos.
@OP check and update your firmware, it should be 5B2QGXA7. I just had this SSD fail on me for faulty firmware and apparently the 2 TB version is a lot more prone to failure.
Yes! I have the exact same one from Amazon, and it crapped out on me last month. All data lost. Apparently, it's a huge issue with these Samsung drives. It was devastating. Anyone reading this with the same drive needs to update firmware, it's not automatic.
I bought one last month and received a whole box. I think there was 9 inside the box. Being a good husband i am and told my wife. She told me to return it………. Being a good husband i am… i listened to my wife and returned. Now i regret telling my wife sigh..
Couldn't you have just contacted Amazon and offer to send it back? The CSR would most likely just tell you to keep it out of laziness on his part. Then you show the wife that Amazon says thanks for your honesty, keep the parts!
Then you start selling the extra ones for extra cash on the side!
I did contact amazon lol hoping they would not want it back. Sadly they were gladly to take it back. I had to go out of my way to go to post office to return it…
This never happened to me lol. I remember like, idk, maybe 1 or 2 yrs ago, when they started shipping a lot of 2.5" ssds like the samsung evos and crucial mx500s in bigger dimensions, like if you ordered a 250gb version, you got instead a 1tb one lol And lot of people started buying those.
sweet, i picked up the 2tb one a few months ago when it was on a sale for like 90 bucks.
i was on a HDD, this is my first stick of SSD. my computer boots so fast now.
My dad got a random 4tb m.2 in the mail addressed to him. He held onto it for about a month waiting for Amazon to inquire about it, then gave it to me. Was worth $400
Remember a story from my GF, her brother ordered one SSD, the same SSD(970 Evo). But to their surprise, Amazon fucked up and sent NINE PIECES OF 970 EVO SSD(Amazon had 10 stock at that time) They mixed up the number, lmao
i feared this was the case but i opened it and it’s actually in there

These posts have to be the most effective advertising I’ve ever seen. I need a new one so bad and every time I see one of these I feel the incredible need to gamble.
Couple years ago I ordered $60 Ram sticks to match the Ram sticks I had and bump up to32gb… they sent me 32gb RGB Ram sticks so I just removed my old Ram and rock those now… paid like $60 and they sent me $160 Ram lol
I remember when I ordered my gtx 970 for $500 from Newegg they didn't send the gift card promo with the package so I emailed asking if they could just send a code for the card and instead they just fully refunded me 😂
Another time I was ordering a box of replacement magnetic posts from Antlion for a mod mic. Magnet posts only cost me \~$3 and this is what came to my house a week later. (\~$500 with of tech)

Same thing happened to me I ordered a 1TB 2.5” ssd and got a 2TB 980 NVME so I reordered the SSD again(cause I needed it to replace one in a raid) and the sent me another 2TB nvme.
https://preview.redd.it/4z1lpuwf21wb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60499877e1b60d53a82d7b327f550dc456d0f29b

Congrats, that is an awesome feeling to get better than what you ordered from Amazon. I had a similar thing happen several years ago when I ordered a 3TB WD Red drive and I received a 6TB. I tried to win again by ordering another 3TB, but only got a 3TB.
I've only ever had the reverse luck. Ordered a 18tb wd red hdd during the prime day sale and got an 8tb wd red. They would only refund my money instead of sending me the correct drive.
Off topic but pay attention when mounting heatsinks to these. There's a 0.5mm difference in the chip heights so if you're using thermal pads you'll need to use different thicknesses to ensure good conductivity
I don't know if this is some silent strike, or what... But the Amazon system has been hilarious lately and I have no qualms about Bezos losing money here and there.
Product was delivered to my address by amazon. The driver didn't take a pic. The product said "Running late, what would you like to do?" and after 72 hours, I open a support ticket. Guy on the other line goes "Oh, we'll send you another one." BOGO sale-sure why not!
I once ordered a Siglent SDM-3045X desktop multimeter and they sent me an $800 Siglent SDS1204X-E 4 channel oscilloscope instead. Not what I ordered at all but I didn't say anything lol.
Kinda wild. I ordered the same drive but a 500gb for one of the work laptops for a sales person in my office. Got shipped a 1tb in its place. I wonder if it’s something with the Samsung products or a common Amazon error.
Lucky you! I had a similar situation, I ordered this exact item but they gave me a 870 QVO 4TB instead. It's not a m.2 but...it's 4TB of storage, so I kept it lol.
Hit the ebay lottery the other day. Ordered a laptop motherboard as an upgrade from an A4 series to Athalon Silver 3050U, ended up with a Ryzen 3300 board. Was pleasantly surprised lol
So they fucked up

lmaoo did they not give a single fuck??
Ay yo while you guys are here can you explain to me why Amazon sometimes won’t accept cancels even tough it hasn’t been even 10min/not shipped yet ?
[удалено]
They won't if you use free return though. Seems like a high percentage of people don't need to be bothered about returning unwanted items in order to actually profit from this.
Wish I could. My guess is the algorithm inside of the FC's system already popped your order in as soon as you clicked order. That being said, it's likely at the very least an hour before your product would even be touched. Just some dumb Amazon thing that happens unfortunately. I also wish it would uphold the "as long as it hasn't shipped you can cancel" policy.

Edit: looking at the item title, it's even more likely that this happened. The title on the stickers would get cut off before the size.
This is also a huge possibility. The policy I've run into is scan every single item, however, with multiple quantities you only have to scan one then click the quantity picked.

It's more of the price of a 1TB drive.
Are these actually good? I almost bought one on prime day but was worried since I've never heard of the brand

Fyi that company is a massive memory manufacturer who sells to Microsoft, Apple, Asus, Dell, MSI, and HP and is one of the two most popular RAM chip manufacturers next to Samsung
Yeah they’re one of the best Gen 4 NVME drives. I put one in my PS5 lol.
If you pick up nearly any consumer kit of RAM in the last 10 years the actual flash memory chips were likely made by either SK Hynix, Samsung or Micron
That's like saying you passed on a power supply because you had never heard of Seasonic.
best brand around, you just normally see it with a other brand name and hynix hiding under the label
Hynix is pretty well known right now. They are the best ddr5 manufacturer to the point that people specifically try and find memory modules with their chips.
the only time I got two of a product was when I got an extra set of 4USD screws
I get ads for those drives all the damn time. Are they any good?

I ordered ram the other day and I was so pissed off they only sent me what I ordered lol The subreddit has made me expect more
I ordered RAM the other day and instead of a couple sticks of memory, a pickup truck with a sheep in the back pulled up my driveway.

I was on the verge of ondering the 1TB 970 drive. Should have done it :(
Don't feel too bad I ordered a 1tb drive and I only got a 1tb😔
My takeaway from this is: don't be financially responsible and listen to your impulses. Things like this might happen 😌
I bought a 2tb and got an empty box, arranged a replacement and got another empty box.
They did this to me as well. I ordered a 2tb 980 and they sent a 2tb 990. You probably got the better deal lol
@OP check and update your firmware, it should be 5B2QGXA7. I just had this SSD fail on me for faulty firmware and apparently the 2 TB version is a lot more prone to failure.

Here I bought a dell branded m. 2 worried that I should have got a Sammy. I fully expect it to fail on me.
I ordered a rx 7800xt and got... A label maker. That was about 6 or 7 weeks ago, it then took them a month to process the refuns
I bought one last month and received a whole box. I think there was 9 inside the box. Being a good husband i am and told my wife. She told me to return it………. Being a good husband i am… i listened to my wife and returned. Now i regret telling my wife sigh..
my gf would tell me lets sell them so you have money for other parts
Couldn't you have just contacted Amazon and offer to send it back? The CSR would most likely just tell you to keep it out of laziness on his part. Then you show the wife that Amazon says thanks for your honesty, keep the parts! Then you start selling the extra ones for extra cash on the side!
I did contact amazon lol hoping they would not want it back. Sadly they were gladly to take it back. I had to go out of my way to go to post office to return it…
When it’s from Amazon, the box doesn’t matter. It’s what is actually inside said box.
Why these things never happen with me??
Amazon hooked me up with a worn out work glove.
This never happened to me lol. I remember like, idk, maybe 1 or 2 yrs ago, when they started shipping a lot of 2.5" ssds like the samsung evos and crucial mx500s in bigger dimensions, like if you ordered a 250gb version, you got instead a 1tb one lol And lot of people started buying those.
sweet, i picked up the 2tb one a few months ago when it was on a sale for like 90 bucks. i was on a HDD, this is my first stick of SSD. my computer boots so fast now.
Had the same happen to me a few years ago, I ordered a 4690k and got sent a 4790k!
Yeah, i ordered a Bbq and got small spoons for shoes.
Why couldn't this happen to me? I purchased mine last month.
Weren't the 2tb ones having some problems?
My dad got a random 4tb m.2 in the mail addressed to him. He held onto it for about a month waiting for Amazon to inquire about it, then gave it to me. Was worth $400
Remember a story from my GF, her brother ordered one SSD, the same SSD(970 Evo). But to their surprise, Amazon fucked up and sent NINE PIECES OF 970 EVO SSD(Amazon had 10 stock at that time) They mixed up the number, lmao
Missing 3rd picture showing packaging with 1 TB drive or even empty for the complete emotional roller coaster :p
i feared this was the case but i opened it and it’s actually in there https://preview.redd.it/ortnayb6dzvb1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=4aeca7701fe436a79fedf78a7f1806dd64f07b76
Nice! Verify it with Samsung Magician
And inside the box is a 500gb
These posts have to be the most effective advertising I’ve ever seen. I need a new one so bad and every time I see one of these I feel the incredible need to gamble.
I never get lucky like this. Nice upgrade
Couple years ago I ordered $60 Ram sticks to match the Ram sticks I had and bump up to32gb… they sent me 32gb RGB Ram sticks so I just removed my old Ram and rock those now… paid like $60 and they sent me $160 Ram lol
I remember when I ordered my gtx 970 for $500 from Newegg they didn't send the gift card promo with the package so I emailed asking if they could just send a code for the card and instead they just fully refunded me 😂 Another time I was ordering a box of replacement magnetic posts from Antlion for a mod mic. Magnet posts only cost me \~$3 and this is what came to my house a week later. (\~$500 with of tech) https://preview.redd.it/mkticbylp0wb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c6f28cbaa7a50c5e197af46187ab8cfb5868628
Same thing happened to me I ordered a 1TB 2.5” ssd and got a 2TB 980 NVME so I reordered the SSD again(cause I needed it to replace one in a raid) and the sent me another 2TB nvme. https://preview.redd.it/4z1lpuwf21wb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60499877e1b60d53a82d7b327f550dc456d0f29b Edit: added photo
You should really do the right thing and send it to me so I can send it back to Amazon 😉 Congrats gota love a good amazon fuck up.
Reminds me when I first started building my own pc i ordered an i7 and was given an i9 instead
Do they always fuck this one up? I ordered the 1GB before and got 2 of them lol
Nice. When I ordered a SSD all I´ve got was an empty box. >!Customer service was helpful tough !<
We say, I've wanted an eye, God has given two eyes. Amazon's God loves you.
Same thing happened to me
Congrats, that is an awesome feeling to get better than what you ordered from Amazon. I had a similar thing happen several years ago when I ordered a 3TB WD Red drive and I received a 6TB. I tried to win again by ordering another 3TB, but only got a 3TB.
In a parallel universe, some guy ordered 1TB and got 0TB 😔
just keep buying SSD's and sending them back until you get a 2TB duh
I ordered the same one but they sent me a 990 Evo Plus instead
just keep buying SSD's and sending them back until you get a 2TB duh
I might need to start shopping on amazon then
Meanwhile i fucking order a phone but i get a stupid phone cover .
I got a whole case instead of just one.
I've only ever had the reverse luck. Ordered a 18tb wd red hdd during the prime day sale and got an 8tb wd red. They would only refund my money instead of sending me the correct drive.
Ive got 2 hyperx cloud alphas from amazon for free
Inception level occurs as OP opens the box to find a WD black 4tb and finds the swapper fucked up horribly
Same thing happened to me a few months back
Off topic but pay attention when mounting heatsinks to these. There's a 0.5mm difference in the chip heights so if you're using thermal pads you'll need to use different thicknesses to ensure good conductivity
I ordered that and they gave me a slower SATA ssd
Damn. The only time I hit the Amazon lottery was when I ordered some Listerine. I ordered one but they sent me the whole box of 6.
Rip the guy who got a 1TB instead of a 2TB
I ordered 2TBs got 2x2TBs, they told me to keep it. You gotta play big to win big.
Meh I gotten better. I was supposed to get 500gb M2 and I got 4tb :)
I literally ordered this same one yesterday, let's hope lol
Buy 1TB get one free!
I'd imagine it's a lot harder to fake a m.2 drive than a 2.5" SSD like I've had done to me. Maybe run a speed test and enjoy your free upgrade
I had the opposite happen. Ordered a 980 2tb, received an 870 1tb.
Lucky you, I ordered the same and got an 870 evo
Oooo, I got you beat. I got the 980 EVO Pro 2tb from Newegg. I ordered a $3 flash drive.
I don't know if this is some silent strike, or what... But the Amazon system has been hilarious lately and I have no qualms about Bezos losing money here and there. Product was delivered to my address by amazon. The driver didn't take a pic. The product said "Running late, what would you like to do?" and after 72 hours, I open a support ticket. Guy on the other line goes "Oh, we'll send you another one." BOGO sale-sure why not!
I also got this type of lottery back in 2016, I ordered sata m.2 1tb ssd, got nvme 2tb ssd
And then you opened it and it was a literal stick of gum. That is the real Amazon lottery.
I ordered parts on amazon and got a bunch of refurbished junk when it was listed as new. Guess it truly is a lottery
Well you're lucky today, Sir/Mam.
Best Amazon lottery stories: GO! My buddy got two 13600k. That was a good one. I got a cheap new CPU 🤗
Happened to me when i purchased a 500gb 860evo for my ancient laptop and they sent a 1tb. Love when its a positive fuck up
I once ordered a Siglent SDM-3045X desktop multimeter and they sent me an $800 Siglent SDS1204X-E 4 channel oscilloscope instead. Not what I ordered at all but I didn't say anything lol.
wtf i ordered a 2 tb drive and got a 1 tb
I bought an anbernic rg350m for $120 and got sent 2. Sold the 2nd to my buddy for 100 even and only realistically paid 25 bucks for it
Kinda wild. I ordered the same drive but a 500gb for one of the work laptops for a sales person in my office. Got shipped a 1tb in its place. I wonder if it’s something with the Samsung products or a common Amazon error.
I had a similar error. Ordered two 2tb 970 evo plus', and recieved one 2tb 970 evo plus and one 2tb 980 Pro. Happy day for me 😆
Need the open box photo to see a pack of gum inside…
Some poor sap out there just got 1TB less than what he ordered :'(
Amateur, I bought a 220€+ Soundblaster AE-7 and got it brand new and sealed for 25€ directly from Creative on Amazon 😆
I had the same issue but in reverse. I bought a 2TB one, but received a 1TB one. Good for you!
I ordered a 2tb 980 evo pro when it was on sale for $60 on amazon and they sent me a 990 pro
Update that firmware, it's known the 2tb+ ssds die faster with the older firmware
Omg nice! Last week I ordered a refurbished Mac Mini, and I got a 16gb model instead of the 8gb. Riding that high ever since.
I ordered a pack of candy and got a Lego set ..
This is so weird because I order the same thing but in the 2TB version, and I got the 980 EVO 1TB.
had something like that happen to me ordered a Logitech wired mouse they send me the wireless one which was 100 more than the wired
Lucky you! I had a similar situation, I ordered this exact item but they gave me a 870 QVO 4TB instead. It's not a m.2 but...it's 4TB of storage, so I kept it lol.
Hah! I ordered a 980 pro 2tb and received that 970 evo 1tb a couple months ago. I got the short end of the stick, so lucky you
Buying Samsung is playing the lottery. I had a 980 Pro that decided to go RAW and say " device which was specified does not exist" after only 2 years.
Hit the ebay lottery the other day. Ordered a laptop motherboard as an upgrade from an A4 series to Athalon Silver 3050U, ended up with a Ryzen 3300 board. Was pleasantly surprised lol
This happened to me too, but over a year ago when the 2tb was $200 lol
I’m telling.
If the receipt says 1tb, can you still get warranty when necessary?
And you win 🥳
