en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… A Reddit community member found a substantial discount on Amazon and purchased a 2 TB Crucial P310 NVMe solid state drive for just $120 instead of the usual $300 retail price. Warehouse employees made an unexpected logistics error and packed two identical brand new retail drives inside the shipment. Since the buyer motherboard had only one free M.2 slot available, he decided to keep one drive and sell the secondary unit for around $300. As a direct result of this warehouse mistake, the customer received a modern 2 TB storage drive completely free of charge and walked away with a total net profit of approximately $180 from the resale. #amazon #crucial #ssd #hardware #reddit #deals #tech
