HighPoint RocketRAID 2782 PCI-e X16 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s RAID Controller - $127

I didn't get a canceled email yet. Who put in orders to Big Will? The seller clearly says Sold by: Amazon.com LLC.
 
My guess is they are debating on whether to go through with them or take a PR hit and cancel all the orders. Same thing happen with me at MC when they accidentally advertised the instore price on the website. Took them 3 days to decide if they wanted to approve the orders or not.
 
The loss would be whoever is the reseller to Amazon.com LLC. Amazon is just doing what the database says.
 
I hope you're right. I really hope this these orders go through and the cards get shipped. I still havn't heard otherwise from Amazon yet.
 
I wonder what is up with this card and its price since a new company has it listed for a couple dollars cheaper.
 
Yea I see just now that Amazon has a couple more of these even cheaper than before being sold through another seller. If anyone wants to take the gamble, it says there are 2 available.

That is very strange.

I wish this thread was in the Data Storage forum, maybe some of those experts could give us an idea.

Is it possible that Amazon has not found the price mistake and this reseller is pulling the price from them?

In for round two.

It's not gambling btw, you don't get charged till it ships.

Are they already gone? I can't seem to find it. If anyone has a link please post it.

Order was canceled due to the seller running out of stock. I don't think the "In Stock" tracker was accurately reflecting the seller's inventory.
 
Still no changes here yet either.

Still showing:

I think I'm going to order the 2720sgl from newegg for $139 to start my build and if this one goes through, I'll switch the 2720sgl to my gaming rig.
 
Seriously this is ridiculous, I rather get a cancel email than to play Russian Roulette with my bank account.
 
Shouldn't this get shoveled into Deal Discussions by now or is still an "active" deal?

Amazon doesn't charge until an item ships. If your funds are that tight that a $130 charge is something you can't afford then you probably should have sat this one out.

Just because I can afford it now doesn't mean I'll still be able to afford it later. Things change and life happens.
 
Ewww.. RocketRAID.. I think that's what the low end SuperMicro's use... lol.. is there even a high end SuperMicro? More like Low, Lower, and Lowest..

Anyways, from my experience, RocketRAID rebuild times across the board take significantly longer than equivalent commodity hardware boards (LSI PERCs, Smart Array, ServeRAID, etc). That is the target competitive market for these right?

While I'm sure most people would agree that this isn't the best brand out there for RAID cards but either way, that's not what this thread is about.

you have never used supermicro stuff have you?

They are actually a scapegoat company the dell rep was telling us they designed the new Dell C6105's which are fantastic servers. Were I work we have been buying supermicro servers from silicon mechanics. The are cheaper, decent support and just as reliable as the dell/hp's we have. The black and red look is rather sexy too. although the rails SUCK to put on, but thats only a 1 time complaint.
