The Crucial T700 2TB with heatsink drew attention for its PCIe 5.0 speed and low sale price, but the thread quickly shifted to fulfillment problems. The deal still appeared live even when the coupon was not applied, yet the price later jumped and orders were charged without confirmation. Follow-up emails said the drive was out of stock, called it pre owned, and pushed new units at $289, which read like a bait and switch. The included heatsink also raised fit concerns because removing it may be difficult and can damage the drive.
PC builders with motherboard heatsinks, because the included heatsink may need to come off for a flush fit.
Fulfillment looks risky: some orders were charged without a confirmation, and later emails said the drive was out of stock and offered new units for $289 instead. That suggests possible cancellation or a bait-and-switch follow-up after checkout.
The deal appears to have changed or ended: one report says the price moved to $170.59, while another says the code was not applied but the deal was still live. If you order, expect the listed price to differ from the original $153.
Removing the heatsink is not trivial and can damage the NVMe drive. If your chassis already has a built-in heat spreader and needs a bare M.2 drive, this model may be a poor fit unless you are comfortable risking removal.
just got an email from them stating that it's out of stock since it was a sale item. However, magically they have more units available if I wanna pay $289. Total BS!
Scummy company. Received the same email stating it was a pre owned item . Description never mentioned it was pre owned. Bait and switch tactics on 2025 LMAO. Mass report this company on sites like Trust pilot etc .

"Greetings from Orange Hardwares,
We have received your order for Pre-owned CT2000T700SSD5.
Unfortunately, we are out of stock for it since it was a sale item.
However, we do have New units available in stock for $289 each.
Let me know if you are willing to move forward at this price, so I can share the invoice for the balance amount with you.
Looking forward to your early response.

I don't recall seeing preowned anywhere
