PSA: Crucial mix-up means 1 TB SSD instead of 128 GB oneBased off a clue from Reddit, I ordered a 128 GB Crucial M550 SSD from Amazon, and received a 1 TB ssd inside the 128 GB box. See here (apologies for the language, since Arch's reply was "ha ha no you didn't, I read reddit too"):
The Redditor who first discovered the mixup claimed that his was likely shipped from a Chicago location, but mine was shipped from a Trenton, NJ location, which leads me to believe it was Crucial's mixup, and not Amazon's.
The Crucial SSD is sitting there as Disk 3. I ordered two more, so I will report back with additional findings when they come in this weekend. Sauce: » www.amazon.com/gp/produc ··· F8&psc=1 |

One for me, one for the wife, one for the kid.
I'll give you a steal on a Samsung 840 500GB, though. |

on the first one did you order from a third party that was fulfilled by Amazon and if so which one? |

Bought one. At minimum I got what I paid for and can use it as the operating system drive. If I am lucky I got a bonus. |

There probably was a random 10 they gave out. An entire legion of nerds are buying these unwanted 128gb ssd drives like nuts. Marketing.
/I may have just bought the last one |

Thats my thought as well give out 1 in 25 and they are still making bank for the surge in sales. |

This became more fun than the lottery. Regardless I am getting a useful SSD I can put somewhere. |

I wonder this works. right now theyre sold by everything deals and fulfilled by amazon. Do they keep things separate from amazons stock or are they all in the same bunch? |

I think they are kept separate. . But don't quote me on that. |

From the Reddit thread, it looks like a lot of these are mislabeled, some folks are getting 512GB, 1TB and 250GB drives randomly.
Seems like Crucial had some inventory issues. |

There is some sort of irony that we are spinning a wheel of destiny for a solid state drive. |

I highly doubt that Hyper Tech tested the drives. No seller of equipment like this ever tests it except when they are installing it in a machine. The margins are too low to spend the time testing. |

Came today - "only" a 128gb drive. That's fine - I can use it anyway; I keep an SSD with my OS X installer on it; 128gb is plenty big for that. |
