Rage

ROAR! I'm mad..

I was looking for an SSD card, and I found 2 good and cheap ones.

The first was priced like a SATA II drive, but was a SATA III drive.
=> doesn't fit, I have no SATA III...
The second one was priced half of drives that had half the size.
=> doesn't fit, I have no PCIe x4 port...

:(

Looks like I misread the wiki page, the SSD card will fit in a larger PCIe slot ^^

So, I now have a 110GB PCIe SSD on order for only 70 Euros :)

Isn't SATA III downwards compatible with SATA II. So that SSD would probably have worked without trouble.

It is, but it would halve the speed of the SSD.

But if it is the same price as an SATA III than it does not matter, right?
I would have been slower than a SATA III, but would have use the max. of a SATA II connection. and in the end that might be faster then the SATA II you got now.

Anyway, I have a SATA III SSD in my machine and it is FAST I can tell you. Think I'm around 500 MB/s both read and write

Yep as the price drops, I think I may just have to break down and go this rout as well!!

I do have to warn you, it was a special offer. That same SSD costs 200+ today.

Now I'm really mad.. They cancelled the order. They made a 'mistake'...

Well if the mistake is the price, then you should get it for that price unless the price is obviously wrong, think that's the law.

They've covered themselves in their EULA, or however it's called for shops..

well as you said on Facebook, you have already payed for the SSD, that makes it yours already the way I see it. Did you get a order confirmation after you payed?

I'm not sure, my dad ordered it for me, he got the mails. And he's not home for the moment.

So he has received a confirmation mail, and we paid for it. Is there anything I can do, except for costly official procedures? Those will set me back more then the card is worth...

well if your father has any legal insurance they will be able to help with some sort of letter. I would also write that company telling them you will be holding them to the agreement you had with them and they you expect the item withing the delivery date they mentioned to you. This way they at least know you are serious.
