so to get the 10% off you need to sit on the site for 10 mins and a blue banner will pop up and say enter your email for ten% off coupon,

SECRETWD10OFF might work but if not you need to do the wait 10 mins techniq.

All you should have to do to bring up the blue banner is roll your mouse over the SHOP or EXPLORE or SUPPORT links in the page you've linked. Comes up immediately, at least for me.

Good drive, btw. Got one last BF.

But no worries about getting one that's fake or otherwise not genuine since direct from wd is the real deal guaranteed. These marketplace sites play games at times.
I wouldn't worry about buying it directly from Newegg, as their is little chance they are selling counterfeit drives.

The thing you have to worry about with Newegg is if a person only orders a NVMe drive, they will likely throw it in a soft envelope and mail it that way. The last several RAM kits and SSDs I've ordered from them came packed like that, and the item packaging inside was not in too good of shape by the time it arrived. Surprisingly, everything still worked except one 850 EVO which wasn't so lucky. :p

It's not a worry now, but if they start doing what some of the larger marketplace sites have done with co-mingled inventory (which I could see them doing quite easily), then it's a whole different ballgame. Plus, they have close connections with the fakers so top notch fake goods could be fraudulently sold as new and the only time the user would find out when a warranty is denied. I don't want to be in that situation for sure.

Seems like a lot of companies have moved to heavily skimp on packing material. I know it costs money (I used to own a logistics company), but finding a company that's throwing away tons of the stuff each day like we did gives you a nice unlimited source and also helps them get rid of it--win-win! Too bad most companies don't do this. :(

I've read plenty of reviews on Newegg for Samsung consumer SSDs, that when attempting warranty service, the customer was told that the drive was sold "out of area" (aka "grey market").

Whether those reviews happened to refer only to 3rd-party sellers, I can't say.

That's been a complaint about Newegg for years, but got worse after it was sold to a Chinese co.

My way to "out" grey market crap from "real" authorized U.S. product on Newegg is to look at their return policy. If it's Newegg's "regular" return policy....money back or exchange within 30 days....it's probably a product that's to be sold in the U.S.

On the other hand, if the return policy is "exchange only" and you cannot return for refund, then I'm willing to bet my house it's grey market, and Newegg is awash with "exchange only, no refund" items, esp. gpus and mb's for some "unknown" reason. ;)
