This effectively turned into a lottery for the user, who could either use the hardware or sell it for thousands of dollars.
Redditor Claims He Ordered Two NVMe SSDs from Amazon, But Received Two Boxes Filled With These Instead
Having nearly two dozen NVMe SSDs at a time when storage drives are 2X their original price is like sitting on a gold mine. While one would have spent nearly $5,000 on 20 SSDs like these, this Redditor got them for free. The Redditor u/1trollzor1 posted that he ordered two NVMe SSDs on Amazon, but the retailer sent him 20 of those instead. We don't know if this is legit, but if this is really true, then this is probably one of the best Christmas/New Year celebrations for this guy.
As you can check from the pics, he ordered Samsung 9100 PRO 2 TB SSDs, which are one of the fastest PCIe Gen 5.0 SSDs in the mainstream market. A single SSD costs nearly $250 at the time of writing, and as per the pics, there are supposedly 20 of these, which he received in two boxes, which were supposed to carry only two such drives. So, these SSDs are valued at nearly $5,000, for which one can build a solid enthusiast-grade PC with top-notch parts such as RTX 5090 and Ryzen 9800X3D.
Nonetheless, he confirmed in the comments that Amazon allowed him to keep the items, despite acknowledging that the shipment was a mistake. One has to be extremely lucky to benefit from such a mistake, especially given Amazon's scale and logistics. And of course, we aren't jealous of him!
I once got lucky when I ordered an NVMe SSD that arrived with one of its capacitors broken off. Despite the damage, the drive worked flawlessly, and Amazon issued a full refund while letting me keep it. That said, processing the kind of luck involved in receiving 20 such high-end, high-capacity SSDs is on an entirely different level.
