$385 on Amazon too - always nicer if you have an Amazon 5%-back credit card.

And continuing to feed this thread with 'deals' isn't fueling that fire?
The inflated prices have been directly proportional to international component shortages and crypto bubbles.
Now that both of those temporary-issues have subsided, pricing is returning to normal.
Which was my entire point.
I'm glad that things are returning to normal, but I'm out on this generation at this point. 18 month old designs at MSRP just isn't going to work for me.
Hopefully the next generation stuff launches during the crypto-lull so we have a chance to get it at MSRP.
I don't know how these 6700 XT 12GBs are staying in stock at $599. Y'all are too nVidia-focused.

Sorta. It's certainly more difficult than returning Prime items.
But if you get shipped something other than what you ordered, getting Amazon to step in and reverse charges is a cinch. And if you want to return something just because you feel like wasting everyone's time, Amazon will still push...
Why? Most of them fulfill through Amazon anyways. And when they don't, Amazon's purchase protection policies basically let buyers say whatever they want and get a refund.
Finally installed my Golds. And I tell you what... HDDs have quietly advanced further than I knew.
Left side is the 2x 4TB Seagate RAID-0 I'm coming from. Current model drives, only a couple of years old. Right is the 2x 16TBs Golds in 0.
I'm seriously impressed by the performance improvement.
It's primarily where my Steam and Origin libraries are. And I seem to recall that neither client was happy with the results last time I migrated drives with a drag and drop. Almost like a ton of invisible files were somehow missed?
So I'm trying to copy over my 8GB drive's contents to my new 32GB (RAID 0). But I've yet to find a way to do this without limiting myself to 16TBs on the new array, because the cloning process maintains the cluster size of the 8TB.
Any way to do this?
