@Anonymous: These are S olid state drives, better than standard hard drives. This is why it is a good deal. (It has better performance, computer runs faster, no moving parts, and will likely last longer). 🙂
My m.2 order (for 1) was canceled. The 2.5 order (for 1- ordered on Jan 4) was shipped. I tracked it to my city. The fedex said it was refused (it wasn’t). I called DELL, they recalled before delivery. They did not and HAVE not returned the money to my credit card. One ‘agent’ promised me 24 hours. Promise broken. The next ‘agent’ promised 24 hours after the shipment was received back at the warehouse. Promise broken. Now they say 10 more business days and perhaps I will need to dispute the claim with my credit card. Are you kidding me? Every other retailer can magically put in back in 24 hours. I smell a money raising scam. Make an intentional “pricing error”, ding the (thousands?) of credit cards, cancel the orders, keep the money – at least as long as possible. OH, and they were NOT all canceled. My son ordered the same drive, same day, same price. It was delivered. Discrimination too?
my order got cancelled as of january 9th
@Yitz:
same here, just called them, they said the same, lol
Called up Dell to complain. The guy said 60,000 people!!! ordered it but all of them are cancelled.
Same here. Order got cancelled and the email I got said it was “as requested”.
Any way to make a social media stink about this to get them to repent?
@Anonymous: willing to share one?
Am I the only person who had the items shipped?
I must of gotten lucky…
I only ordered 2 pieces.
I received an email my order has been canceled
Me too. What’s funny though, that they state the reason that I requested the cancellation…
“Your order has been cancelled.
As requested, some or all of the items in this order have been cancelled. You’ll find your cancellation details below, and you can view all products in this order on your Order Status page.
If this order was cancelled in error, or if you’d like to place this this order again, you can contact a Dell sales representative or call 800-624-9897 and we’ll be happy to help. We hope you’ll shop with Dell again soon!”

@Jesper: Yeah now it says “popular product” on their website… Yeah, sure…
@Former: Just got three cancellation emails. So much for that…
Classaction territory ….

My order of 1 was cancelled 🙁
I’ve never fought price.mistakes before. Is it worth trying?
My order of 5 got cancelled today. They are probably just trying to create a demand curve… lol
@Danny: did you actually get a shipped confirmation? Did you pay for 1 day shipping?

Cancelled
Just got an email saying they won’t honor the order..
Order cancelled. Knew I should have done the 1-day shipping ^_^
Just got an email saying they cancelled it I was one of the first to do it
Just received an email – it was a pricing mistake and they cancelled my order.
Order cancelled
@Uri: It’s 2.5″, so you shouldn’t need an enclosure for a laptop
@A L: i’m ready to pay 30-35.
@Former: How Much are you willing to pay?
I received a “confirmation” email but it wasn’t shipped yet did any ones ship already (I’m talking about the free shipping option)?
@Danny: ditto!
@Uch: jealous jelly bean.
@Mc: true, true, but even more so on a old cheap computer!
@Menasheh: yes way.
@Tami: you’ll need an enclosure for this to be able to plug and play via USB for an external hard drive.
@Uri: search in YouTube: your computer model number, hard drive replacement. You will then need free cloning software to copy your old hard drive to the new one. If you have a lot of data, (movies etc) you will need to back that up elsewhere so the total storage will be able to clone to the new drive. Plenty of tutorials online.
@Josh rosenthal: see above.
@joe firee: sell them.
If anyone bought these, and have extras, I’ll pay cash 💰 for them.
Ordered 20? Really? Way to run away with the deal.
4 of mine just shipped. Although I was the first ones to order it. DD was a bit late on this one.
I received a confirmation email.”Your order is confirmed”
@Leah. I wouldn’t rely on ssd (or any flag memory) for long term storage.
Just received a followup email: Your order has been confirmed.
@leah: It ‘can’ but you would need to buy an external hard drive enclosure (not hard to do).
But keep in mind, the speed is far better and far more useful as your main hard-drive (for windows + programs) with all your pics and docs on a secondary hard drive (not ssd, unless you have enough ssd space).
If you make ssd your main hard drive you will see a significant improvement in opening programs and starting windows (unless it’s an old/cheap computer).
External enclosure:

Got 5 and was confirmed. Thanks!
can this be used as extra storage, like an external hard drive?
Anyone received cancellation emails yet?
@Arkmark31: If your tech savvy enough to open your laptop… Use this:

Please email hopeunite770@gmail.com if you can sell me one

Shows up as 19.99 on product page then $75 in cart. Dead? They didn’t honor the monitor price mistakes a few months back so I doubt they’ll ship these.
Dead
They cut out my link google “WDS250G1B0BA”
No way this is shipping
2:10 AM eastern still good!
In.. Thanks. This will make a great back up for my Family Pics
is this item returnable?
Here’s another dropped from $129 to $29

Just ordered a few.
Thanks Dan!
Is it worth expediting the shipping in case they cancel?
@Uri: yes – just look on amazon or ebay. you can find tons of them
In for 1, thanks!
How do I install it into a laptop? Do I need to buy an enclosure?
How do I switch out the cd drive?
@Mendy What are you going to do with 20 of them
I didn’t even know what it was I just ordered 5 because it’s an amazing deal. Thanks Dan!!
@Josh
1) you can switch out the cd drive with a converter and your 1tb…
2) the speed is today worth it…
@Rick perhaps they want you to pay for the rest of us.
@Me Free cash back from your credit card?
FYI – My attempt to cancel the order for 10 units was deemed unsuccessful by Dell of course. I have emailed them as well for a cancellation of this wrong price.
Good thing I bought this on my Starwood Amex.
Thanks Dan!!! Once again a great deal!!
ordered 20 units 4 orderes of 5 Lets hope it goes through
Thanks Dan
AMAZING! THANKS!
Why is this considered a great deal?
It comes out to $80 for 1tb.
In terms of stroage, that is not a good price at all.
Dell also has WD Blue M.2 250GB Internal SSD Solid State Drive – SATA 6Gb/s – WDS250G1B0B on sale for $29.99. Amazon at $84.99
Thanks tons Dan!
After my experience with the last Dell price mistake where they cancelled all orders, I didn’t bother wasting my time… Looking forward for updates
Ok, good deal but this would in effect be replacing the standard 1TB hard drive in a laptop with capacity far greater than 256gb. So…….. but thanks!
I ordered 10 without noticing the price hike. Tried to email tonight to ask for cancellation or price match (it doesn’t state anywhere that the price changes on +5) but their online and phone systems both don’t recognize my order ID. Could be because of the late hour or could be because orders aren’t actually going through?
In for 1. Hope it gets here by Shabbat so I can play League of Legends
just ordered thanks
@Ybeeds: Hence the “?” in the post…
They seem to be on sale as well as another model for $29… Don’t think it’s a mistake.
Ordered five. After five the price goes up. Thank you. 🙂
Got one! Had a $25 Dell promo card so it was free! Thank you!
In for 5.
Interestingly, the price jumps with 6+.
@Mendy: Read the post.
WHAT IS EVERYONE GOING TO DO WITH THEM ?
In for 5
Thanks, Dan!!!
just ordered 20 on 4 separate orders of 5
I don’t think it’s a prize mistake. It’s just a very good deal.
In for one – thanks
Five is the limit. After that the price skyrockets. Don’t know if you can do it a second time though for another five.
Ty!
Is it for pc or laptop?
Ordered
Thanks
Thanks got it
Just ordered 5
Amazing thank you
