you can get a drive tray that fits in to your optical drive slot. Place your HDD in there and then place the SSD in the normal HDD slot. Best of both worlds :)

If this is possible it's the best solution.
 
Was just thinking out loud, if the landed price doesn't come to a lot then it might be viable to purchase say 20 units and split them up as shipping should be cheaper and customs too.

Anyhow, are the WD SSD's any good? I never even knew they made SSD's but I guess they need to keep up with the market these days with the likes of Crucial, Samsung, Corsair etc floating around
 
Can only order 5 at time for 20 dollars.

Have 5 going stackry and 5 global shopper. I thought I am scoring my using stackry, as there no sales tax to the address, but aramex shipping is cheaper.

Good luck purchasing that volume, Dell likely won't confirm it. This sale is on FIRE on Reddit/LinusTech/Twitter etc

I just went with 5x2 via Aramex to try and sneak under customs :P

Have yours been confirmed yet?

With aramex it is almost impossible, they ask for invoice each time. But total is R1500 so you pay 14% vat on that amount.

Stackry allows all the parcels to be sent at once, aramex ships them one a time. Can save a few bucks by shipping via stackry if you order a few.

Think that will still go through customs. My orders above $75 went through customs other day. Ordered 3 now. Tempted to go another 3 just to resell and recover the money.
