Seriously (in english please), why is the reseller kit cheaper than the drive only? o.o... makes no sence...

The prices for these change daily. Bought one the other day for 154.00. Just buy whatever cost less. Be sure to match the stats

Go to their website. They have setups to build your own... this one is already setup. And yes, I believe they are replaceable. But why buy this model to just replace with bigger drives when they already sell 1, bigger drives and 2, setups to build your own...

OEM drives in my case, possibly European models not for sale in the US. Not covered by manufacturer's warranty - at least, not on the four drives I purchased and received today (and am sending back tomorrow). Strange that Amazon doesn't require sellers to publish warranty info. It's as if they encourage sales of gray market goods.

Wow. I just checked what you were talking about. That $84.99 must be a bizarre misprint. Just order as many $10.99single units as needed. It's inexpensive and works for simple storage.

The price is now down to $95. Even $95 seems too high a price to pay considering the possibility of future data loss. Amazon hiked its price up - probably to encourage sales and boost confidence. But the negative reviews keep growing. I have decided against buying this drive. Take a look at the alternatives discussed in the comments section here: http://estrip.org/articles/tinypliny/47862.html(Click on the comment bubble to see the comments.)

Hi D. Petitpas,I was wondering if anyone would ever reply to my post. I didn't know that these drives were shipped pre-formated and I don't think that it is listed in it's description here on Amazon. Thank you so very much for setting me straight!

Frequently, larger companies who resell them will spend the time and money to certify the drives and extend the drive warranty as part of their package. If you think about the reverse case, this is why you can't take a drive off the street and throw it into your enterprise storage array and expect the array manufacturer to support it as a "certified" configuration. In the past two years, I've purchased a half dozen HGST/Hitachi drives. One DOA, and the others all going strong.

Usually the Reseller Kit costs more than a "Bare Drive" because it includes some extra items such as the "spacer" that's in this Kit. However, if they sell a ton of the Bare Drive model, then sooner or later they have to reduce the price of the Reseller Kit to get them out of the warehouse. This looks like a good buy at 149.99 since Intel SSDs usually command a premium price due to their reputation for reliability and a 5-year warranty.

There seem to be different versions of the same basic model. Mine came with a 250 gb spinning platter drive. I put a 128 gb ssd in for about 80 bucks. The kit by monster made that super simple and you can reuse the software and cable for other computers. RAM seems to vary as well. I have three of these 1 from work and 2 bought used.

Ocz does as Amazon.com is listed on their website as places from we can buy the drive.http://ocz.com/consumer/where-to-buy/united-states/online-resellers

Same problem I have.... I bought it through a reseller here in the USA and the product came from China no customer support they send you to forums to download software and drives... I'm ready to give bad reviews. Sorry we are on the same page

no it's a piece of junk send it back. I tried it in 3 different computers with 4 different drives emailed to me from the company and never got it to work. All I got for the seller was a sorry and to send it back to some place in China at my own expense. also they have poor tech support not really knowing their product.

That's an excellent question......, unfortunately I think that only Amazon or what ever retailer that's selling the drive can answer! Reason being that in my opinion, these drives are great and the only thing that separates them is the capacity that they have. So if you can buy a larger drive for less money, and with all due respect, don't be a Schmuck and buy a drive with higher capacity! :-) The physical size is the same for all of the Cruzer fit drives!

This whole thing is a scam, nothing else. Nothing to do with cluster size.The drives have a capacity of maybe 16 gb or something, they are programmed to show more.I walked in a similar trap 3 years ago.If you have time to spend, google 'fake usb' or something like that.

You should ALWAYS have redundancy, especially with these kinds of drives. Yeah, they are cheap, but your data isn't. Buy two and use one as a backup. I learned the hard way myself.
