Hardware deliveries are a reason for joy for many people. A particularly happy user seems to have hit the jackpot with an order. Because when he opens the package, he can’t stop marveling.
What did the user receive? The gamer Bat-Dragon-666 reports in his Reddit post that he ordered a 1 TB SSD. However, the package was unusually large for a single small item.
The player’s surprise was even greater when instead of one, he supposedly received ten of the ordered WD Black SN7100 1 TB. He posted a picture of the delivery and titled it “Delivery messed up.” Whether the Redditor is telling the truth cannot be determined at this time.
In the comments of the post, there was a discussion about what the user should do with the extra storage. He is advised to return one SSD, keep the rest, and request a refund. Another suggestion was that he should keep one or two as a reserve and sell the rest to make a profit.
However, we recommend contacting support in such cases and asking for a solution, as there could be legal consequences otherwise (via Chip)!
small mistake, big impact
How much is the user’s order worth? The memory costs today, on 01.04.2026, about 150 euros per piece (via Geizhals). This means a total delivery of about 1,500 euros, with the player thus receiving additional hardware worth 1,350 euros.
The price is particularly high, as SSDs are currently influenced by the ongoing hardware crisis, as just a few months ago the same component cost less than half. However, this is probably not the end of rising prices, as a manager from a memory company says that it will get worse.
The reason for the rising costs is mainly the high demand for components from AI data centers, which also affects hardware for gamers (via microchipusa).
Nevertheless, the user most likely cannot install the entire order in his PC.
Why can’t the gamer use all the storage? Although the Redditor is pleased with the coincidence, most computers and consoles do not have the capacity to operate 10 different SSDs in the M.2 form factor of the WD Black at the same time.
A console like the PS5, for example, only has one expansion slot for storage expansion via M.2 SSD (via playstation). Most gaming PCs, on the other hand, now have about 2 to 5 slots for fast storage. The number varies depending on the form factor, features, and price of a motherboard.
To find out how many you have available, you can either open your PC yourself and check or find the manual on the manufacturer’s website using the name of your motherboard. There are often illustrations at the beginning that help you easily identify the available slots. This is also not the first time a user has reported accidentally receiving more components: Player buys motherboard for 45 euros, receives hardware worth 1,400 euros for free
