Hardware Bargains - Open Thine Wallet

[enerdude]

Did I read correctly up to $7 per drive compensation?

"...while those who bought either 4TB or 6TB WD Red capacity drives are entitled to $7.00 for each drive purchased. These values may be adjusted on a pro-rata basis depending on the number of claims filed, up to 85% of the value of each drive."

I was wondering why pclinkshop had the 6TB reds (WD60EFAX) recently at R2499. Was sold out in a few days but at that stage I was not even aware of this whole situation. Of course the distys like Pinnacle won't inform resellers like pclinkshop of the real reason as they want to get rid of stock...

I saw a video on Youtube recently about SSD providers (WD was one of them) that are replacing the SLC cache with lower cost/speed/quality/etc chips, resulting in considerably lower overall performance....

Seems Samsung are joining the party ...

We regret to inform you that due to a system error the marked price for Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN640 1.92TB nVME SSD unfortunately was incorrect,
and also the product is out of stock with no ETA currently.

As a result we are cancelling all orders for this item.

If you have already paid for the item we will place a Credit on your Raru profile which you can use with a future order.

Alternatively we can also refund you your payment

Got my refund today via payflex - only did the initial payment after purchase - my second payment was only due in 2 days. Must give raru some credit they kept their word. They said today and around 15:00 I emailed them to ask if the refund is still on track. Got no reply but an hour later got the payflex email to say they processed the refund of my first installment.

Those of you that use gmail - I use a chrome addon to track when people open my emails. Free version is limited but still works for me. Read more here

What's nice is that if people open your email a lot (like happened when I enquired with Raru if it is still on track) you get something like this lol:

I recently bought a cheaper LDNIO 4 port (no QC) that was advertised at 4.1Amps. It may be able to supply that, but only in total through all the ports. Individually each port only does 1A. This one is QC though so I assume it will work as expected when charging QC devices. Don't expect more than 1A from the non QC ports though.

How long did it take to get here? Was the shipping directly to SA or you had to use those US address?

No on this item Amazon ships straight to SA - that price include shipping and customs. They usually use Aramex - can take around 2-3 weeks but it is fully trackable.

I see, that was a massive savings, more like half the local price.
