Can someone give me an answer about the part which he knowns?

Thank you

Seems like all good questions for Dell. I'm sure they'd be able to answer them all.

Maybe Newegg was afraid they'd be left with old stock..

They seem to be there now... Probably a server glitch.

Interestingly, they say "Limit 1 per customer" !!

They're not available. See, it says deactivated: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167017

ETA: OH! They put a different one back up.. was with that.. oh well *pounces on it*

ETA2: "Removed from cart due to quantity limitations"

They're out *sigh*

Anyone know where I can find an IN STOCK P256? I've tried Newegg, ZZF, Buy, PerformancePCs, FrozenCPU, Geeks, Mwave, Amazon (selling for more than the MSRP, ), CDW, BH.. seriously running out of places to look.

Dell.com - Samsung P256 for $480 (I had the link on this forum like 20 pages back or so?)

Mmmm.. only one I see is a rebadged Dell drive.. (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=341-8981) that's the exact same drive as the Corsair P256 (rebadged Samsung)?

sgogeta4 · 07-24-2009, 03:44 PM

Yes, that is the Samsung. The pic is wrong though, but users have ordered that one and it is the right P/N. Corsair uses this exact same drive in their P256.

angelicvoices · 07-24-2009, 03:46 PM

That is an absolute steal then for that price. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any dell accessory coupon codes that would also work?

The Dell web site says "ships in 24 hours" but it's a lie, my order got delayed till august and then today it got cancelled. So, they're backordered too.

Not sure if I should try placing the order again, or just sit back and wait now.

Also I wonder if that JMicron update will work on my Titan, since it's a pair of JMicrons internally RAIDed. I.e., will the updater actually be able to access the right firmware on each individual drive, or will it only see the RAID controller and not be able to do anything.
