Release dates for C400, Vertex 3, G3

Retracted comment - I suspect my ire may be against forum rules - suffice to say I am less than impressed with the above mentioned goings on.

I read your comment. Perhaps you should read this thread; http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=18781194#post18781194

Hi there

OCZ are here with me today, the news is good and bad.

The good news is drives did ship last night but only a small amount.

Its not great as we have a lot more backorders. OCZ are ensuring they are doing everything to get more drives into OcUK first simply because we have more backorders than any other etailor resulting in OcUK getting priority allocation.

So those of you who pre-ordered early on should get a drive, but those who have pre-ordered in the last week or so unfortunately you may have to wait another 1-2 weeks.

I have arranged for a conference call with one of OCZ's directors this evening as to how much of a disgrace this is to see if I can battle to get allocation from other countries shipped to OcUK. I shall be doing my best!
 
I'm curious. When OCZ say they have been shipped, where exactly have tgey been shipped FROM? Is it from the UK, yurp or further afield? It'll make a big difference to when they might actually arrive.

From Asia somewhere I expect.
 
All OCUK can tell me about the M4/C400 is that they hope to see them within the next 3 weeks, but haven't yet heard a target date from Crucial/Micron.

I need to sort mine ASAP! I'm running a single F3 1tb with a mullared install of W7, going to change to a 2xC400 64gb RAID 0 and 3xF3 1tb RAID 5 setup with a fresh install of windows, and hopefully another 4gb of RAM. Tis gonna fly. :D
 
From Crucial forum week ago:

Many of you have requested an update on availability of our new Crucial m4 SSD. Demand has exceeded our expectations, and we are ramping up production and building inventory so we can support a full launch with all of our global channel partners on April 26th, 2011. In the meantime, we have started shipping out review units to media outlets, so look out for full reviews over the coming weeks. Thanks in advance for your patience.
 
Any update? (part of my new system OC1203259) ;)

Thanks

The bad news is were not gonna get that many for the first shipment.

and:

As regards to allocation on the first batch, we cannot confirm which customers definitely have these drives yet who have ordered already, until the stock arrives. Please just keep your eyes out here for the latest updates on these drives. :)
 
Yes I was going to order a vertex 3...BUT DUE TO THE PRICE INCREASE....think I'll just get it at the original price elsewhere.

There was also a hesitation due to ocuk replacing drives under warranty with one that no longer held the original 3 year warranty....

What do you mean by this? I cant find any mention of a warranty change.

Depending on how limited the stock intake is you might not be able to.

Companies can advertise at any price but if they don't have the stock...
