This Centon 2.5 inch SATA III SSD is mainly appealing as a cheap game or laptop storage upgrade, with the 1TB version priced at $48 and the brand having old OEM roots. The strongest upside is the low cost for a standard SATA drive, and the 2TB version has already shown up for some orders with a 3 year warranty. The main drawback is fulfillment uncertainty, since confirmations have shown March or two month estimates, charges can post before shipping, and some orders have been canceled or delayed. A practical budget pick if the wait does not matter.

Common Questions (4)

  • It can show a March 2026 ETA or a roughly 2-month delivery window at checkout, but some orders have shipped within a few days and arrived in about 2-9 days. The long estimate appears to be a placeholder rather than a guaranteed wait, though some orders may still be canceled if the vendor never gets a real ship date.

  • It is a standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD that people are using as a laptop upgrade or game drive, and one received unit was reported to look good with a 3-year warranty. There are also complaints about reliability on Amazon, so it is better suited to low-risk storage like games or replaceable data than irreplaceable files.

  • The order can be charged immediately even when shipping is still weeks or months away. That creates a risk that the chargeback window could expire before the drive arrives, especially if the order sits in backorder status.

  • Yes, some orders with a March or out-of-stock estimate have arrived much sooner, including deliveries in about 2-3 days after shipment or around 9 days total. The posted ETA is not always the actual delivery date.

The OD Centon 2TB from 2 weeks ago still hasn't shipped even though charged credit card fully immediately, has an ETA of 2 months out. Don't hold out hope.

That's not what I'm seeing on the page. Might be location dependent?

No, back in the day they were suppliers for Dell and other OEM and in shops like circuit city. The current shortages are just pulling older stuff out of the woodworks.

How can they charge before shipping then you risk chargeback period ending before you get anything

That is the way od/om works with 3rd party vendors. I did the memory deal in November and on the 30th day I got the order canceled notification. If the vendor does not have a real shipping date, they will cancel on or about the 30 day mark.. I am waiting on the 2tb version of this, and I still show a March delivery date. I also bought it a day b4 the post here was made.. I would not hold your breath on it, but is a great way to use the rewards if you have some.
