    Nice to see that some orders actually went through. I think the "usable time frame" for this BA was about one hour and ten minutes, since it was posted at 11:42 and the drive went out of stock at amazon at around 12:52. So everybody who ordered from 12:53 onwards will probably have the order cancelled, orders made before that time should have been confirmed by now.

    I ordered at 12:09 and got the cancellation email. Ordered a few other items at the same time so maybe that slowed it down or summat. Just cancelled those other items out of spite :pac:

    Ah well, nothing ventured nothing gained.

    with footnote of

    "Your feedback is helping us build Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company."

    good luck with that.

    there's a reason they add this disclaimer to their site. You won't be the only one to complain, and just like the others who do you're just wasting your own time.

    Mine arrived today, sent from Germany. It's slightly bigger and heavier than I expected, but it feels really solid. I have no USB 3.0 port to test it at full speed, but truecrypt right now writes at about 21MB/s via USB 2.0 (AES). That means 12 hours for a full encryption cycle, but I don't trust the closed source encryption supplied with the disk. I think it will do the job very well :)
    Remember to register the drive within 90 days after purchase to secure the 3 year warranty.

    Are you serious?

    They have thousands upon thousands of items for sale - sometimes, rarely, they make a misprice - they even have it in their blurb that it can happen from time to time and they reserve the right to pull it

    We all hawked in on one of the mistakes, now some of us being all "Dear Amazon, my consumer roights have been affected by this roysh"
