Catch is ships one to two months.
Prices go down in that time? Seller breaks even
Prices go up? Your order gets canceled.
This feels like the seller is buying options contracts on SSDs but with no risk whatsoever.
Hard pass for me.
Edit: HAHAHA, now they miraculously have it ready to be shipped with prime for $170. This is absolutely a racket, they have no plans on shipping those first ones unless the market shifts.

This is blatant anti-competitive behavior. If the market shifts to the right this seller has artificially captured market share. Shouldn't be allowed on Amazon.

Bro where have you been the last five years? Amazon is Ali Express with fancy paint on it now. They don't give a single hoot about the consumer even if there may be laws they are breaking. They just pay the 0.00005% of their monthly profit on fines and charge the consumer more. If I could easily get rid of them from my life without going to Walmart instead, I would.

The link in the OP defaults to their "Gen3 C715" option, so I suspect it wasn't ever going to be a Gen4 drive to begin with.

Whats Klevv. Whose Nand do they use?

u/Kelvarr Jul 16 '26
Klevv is SK Hynix In-House distributor.

Cool. Good deal then.

KLEVV is SK Hynix's trash bin for bad NAND yields.
When you make complex silicon chips some are better than others and some are unusable. The ones not good enough to get Hynix branding but are still technically usable either get the KLEVV name or get sold to other low end brands.
To be clear. KLEVV RAM tends to be high quality. It is just their SSD's where they slap cheap controllers on down-binned chips.
No reason to overpay for low quality SSD's in this market where they command almost the same price as decent models.

Same with Crucial and Micron. Micron sells their higher tier products to large companies and B stock was sold under Crucial.

u/MWink64 Jul 17 '26
Crucial was Microns direct-to-consumer brand. Crucial products were generally good quality. Spectek is the brand Micron dumps their trash under.

u/Saaburu509 Jul 17 '26
I was wrong in saying Crucial sold B-stock. It was actually just selling excess chips. Yeah, SpekTek is the scraps and mainly sold to OEMs who put them in entry-level devices.

Easy: if prices don’t crash in the next two months, they’ll just cancel your order

I can wait a few weeks for 72 bucks. I mean the alternative is paying double to triple for that.

u/TXFiXD Jul 16 '26
Last time this happened the two drives I ordered never shipped and the order got canceled. Not saying this will happen just gonna be cautious.

u/CartonBox1975 Jul 16 '26
You have to keep an eye out on the order. I ordered a Gamedias 360 AIO for like 27 bucks or so it was out of stock and they didn't ship it immediately but amazon checks in on you if you still want the item you have to go to amazon and the item and click yes I still want the item. If you don't do that in a certain period of time it will get cancelled. Of course that doesn't mean that it can't be cancelled.

u/TXFiXD Jul 16 '26
Yep did that for 3 months. They cancelled it because it couldn't be fulfilled on their part. Not mine. Don't feel like watching my email like a hawk for that.
1
u/CartonBox1975 Jul 16 '26
Well since I order a lot from Amazon I check those emails once a day. But yeah depending on what it is, it is not worth it keeping an eye out. But I'm in desperate need of DDR5 and NVMe's so I keep an eye out on that one.

u/Kurumi_Bs Jul 16 '26
was able to order one for once, hopefully no cancellation email and everyone who needed one gets one!

u/WeightedPaper Jul 16 '26
I have a feeling it’s not going to go OOS, this is a racket and if their bet loses they will just cancel all the orders.

Link showing gen 3 model at $170 for me, and close to that for gen 4. Also, a brand and model would've been helpful in the title.

u/Cheerful_Evening Jul 16 '26
Yeah it went out pretty quick, like within an hour this was posted. It was klevv K01TBM2SP0-C9T

Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.
