So many prizes for Black Friday wheel of doom
Oh yeah I haven't even decided what to do with probably... $30,000-$40,000 worth in drives.
Of course that's just going based off MSRP, not the actual worth of -$10,000 in DC hands and recycling fees.
I'm just so glad I went with my gut in the end and stopped shipping any XPG, including the 4TB Gen3, after the first 2TB Gen4 had issues. So the majority quite literally were held off and never sent even though it's technically some of the first drives we purchased.
I have read all the pages actually. IIRC, you were claiming all pre-orders are getting activated on the first batch. However, biennial pre-order doesn't seem to get any advantage after all, compared to what's written in the original post. I understand you're extremely busy, but facts are facts.
Uhh question: my San Jose Ryzen VPS was in one of the affected nodes and I clicked on migrate in same location (well the new service isn't booting up)... Would that affect anything and should I create a ticket?
Yes, it was a very large batch, and since everyone else got the same advantage for free there was technically no difference. But I will now accept that some of these did not get created on the first batch, but got created on the second batch, so if anyone is unhappy I can try to make things right with a refund but I am assuming that they do not want that, so what do you propose?
The 384 I bought in Japan for two years has not been activated until now. I don't know what to say. It's too disappointing.
i think its possible to request refund
Potentially it would affect something, but at that point there's no reason to mention the initial issue, at this point it would only be one thing: a migration issue. And yes, you can create a ticket and describe the migration issue.
See for yourself, this has always been the case.

There are about 200 disappointed people, and 2300+ other people who have a product (who may still be disappointed.) But that means the majority were created and we've done the best we can with all this and I apologize if you are left as the last 200 that are disappointed.
If you are a 384MB though, you might be even more disappointed soon because there might be another reason you haven't been activated, maybe a manual review, which we may review and decline/refund.
@VirMach Hi boss, I saw you mentioned that some of VMs created in broken disk in node TYOC038 have been re-created but seems like my VM is still not functional, it could not be booted even after twice reinstallations, and no CD mounted here, could you please help take a look? thank you! productid=653524, invoice id=1398677
More likely they use good NAND's on the first batches and review samples to establish some kind of reputation, and swap to trash NAND's when making more to maximize profit. This is a known behavior across many vendors, SX8200 Pro is surely one of the notorious ones.

Yep, I was very careful about this and made sure we got batches that used the correct controller, the same as the review batch, but I didn't think to also verify the NAND.
I mentioned that only the ones that were at some point functional were re-created. It's possible yours was never ever functional, in which case it would not yet have been re-created.
My VPS is not on node 038 so I can't check, but if you give me your login ID and password I may be able to log in and check on your behalf??
It's actually funny, I think it goes further than that by the way, at least for the Gen4. I think they use good NAND or something to that effect for the first cell/chip and then switch over to dog turds after because all of these seem to fail after the first 200-300GB is filled.
Then they just cross their fingers that some gamer bought it and will only use 200GB for the first year.
They're essentially doing that flash drive scam, but as a semi-reputable company, where you can only fill the first X amount.
Many brands that used to be good have gone this way, even WD (they make nand after acquiring SanDisk) is doing that in a limited manner with their consumer lineup. So there's a reason why the expensive Dell blades my company got only come with Samsung enterprise ones.
I noticed that Tokyo is gone from Ryzen Migration button, hope the balancing of VMs went as expected.
I am bored, let's have some fun

Even Samsung switched their controller quietly during COVID, for the consumer line. The only company I know which didn't do that AFAIK is SK Hynix.
I made sure the ones we got were the right Phoenix controller for the most part.
