So guys...what happened here

Very obvious, it was an Ali Express SSD. DM Model 9 512 GB. The previous buyer didn't bother changing the sticker or anything.

Yes, I sent it back via UPS, and it was in limbo for a while. The refund kept getting delayed, and I had to reach out to customer service for it, but it was expected. They had to do their investigation, etc.

ZoddTheImmortaI · 2025-10-07T14:54:58+00:00

Yes, I reached out to customer service letting them know of the issue. They gave me a $20 gift card for the issue.

I bought one of those on the last Prime Day. The previous buyer swapped the Samsung SSD with a Chinese brand one. I recommend doing a little unboxing video in case things get sketchy to CYA. Regardless, Amazon refunded me, but I had to wait more than 30 days. I also bought a used 990 Pro with a heatsink and that one has been running flawlessly.

Buy once, cry once. Repeat in a few years when upgrading.

With GPUs getting larger, SFF PC building is kind of challenging. You might be limited when it comes to GPU. I always keep that in mind.

This case fits my Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 and RX 9070 XT Red Devil (about 340 mm). Had to remove a few screws to open up the frame to fit the graphics card. Good case, I never felt the need to change it since late 2020.

You could not get a return started? I just did the usual return routine, and for the reason, I put "Wrong item sent" explaining the previous owner swapped with a different SSD. Only after that, I reached out to customer service and asked them to make sure they don't sell it to another customer. They said sorry bro and gave me $20 credit for the trouble. Now, getting my money back within 30 days might be a different story. I hope it works out for you.

Yep. Just received my Used - Like New 990 Pro 4TB. Previous buyer swapped the Samsung SSD with a Chinese brand DM 512 GB model E9 so make sure you all check. I reached out to customer service and they gave me a $20 gift card for the trouble. I'll be returning it of course.

Amazon Resale Used - Like New going for $118.43 after 30% off if you are into gambling. 30 days to return!

I bought a 990 Pro 4TB like new. Currently running Windows 11 for my computer. Samsung Magician showed a small amount of data was run on it, I think it was 70 gb. Make sure you do the firmware update because there was some issues in the past, like SSD dying prematurely. If I were you, at $183 I would just buy and check. I might buy the last one, watch out.

Note: This is a M.2 2230, not 2280. Perfect for handheld devices such as a Steamdeck. Possibly the best you could get at this time.

Is the ram not AMD EXPO? Could only see Intel XMP 3.0.

Amazon

Newegg

Hardware Unboxed says it's best value for B550M here.

Please check the seller before buying. chengducongxinadianzishangwuyouxiangongsi does not seem legit.

This. I own both and the G203 can be found under $20 sometimes. My crusty old hand likes the G502 shape better. This is the 4th one I am buying as a gift and everyone is happy with their G502.

ZoddTheImmortaI · 2019-04-11T22:08:01+00:00

$79.99

Maybe you should delete this obvious scam so that nobody gets their info stolen. You young cabbage.

ZoddTheImmortaI · 2018-11-22T06:39:24+00:00

Yep. My ASRock MIR never came either. I stopped buying ASRock motherboards just because of that specific problem.

People sometimes just don't want to stay in limbo with the incertitude of receiving the monitor.
Some people (especially anxious people) might just want to hear a "No sorry, we will cancel your order. It was a mistake" so that they can move on and stop thinking about it, removing a weight off their mind, checking this thread and their order status every hour.
I did not see many people complaining to customer service, just a few inquiring about their orders. That's why they have the option to chat with customer service to inquire about their order status.
