minus-squareCosmicSploogeDrizzlelinkfedilinkEnglish29•11 months agoUgh, I literally just fucking bought this drive
minus-square@chackl@lemmy.worldcakeOPlinkfedilinkEnglish4•11 months agoI almost bought one because they were on huge sale at Amazon.
minus-squareFuglyDucklinkfedilinkEnglish5•11 months agoYeah, I wouldn’t suggest buying the huge sales at amazon for ssd’s. They probably pulled the bad drives back from merchant stock to avoid getting returns. Those frequently wind up on Amazon as huge sales.
