That's comforting to know. I was starting to doubt they'd ever ship it since the 128GB disappeared from their website and the 256GB version is no longer purchasable online.
I just wish it would ship before the end of next week otherwise I'll have to build a computer using a traditional HDD and swap out the drives later.

Is this ever going to ship? Why don't they at least send you an update when they pass the estimated delivery? They should at least tell you "hey, here's what's up with your order".
I just had a look at the 256GB model and it says estimated delivery is now 11/21/2016. Geez.

Ya I am still holding out in hopes they ship soon. Like mentioned above, Black Friday is soon to be here and I am sure a similar deal will pop up. Then I will say good bye to The Source and figure out how to cancel the order.

The 256GB drive was shipped this morning, which is good because I had to put a temporary 128GB SSD in my son's computer and it's already full.
The 128GB one is still back ordered but that one is to upgrade an already in-use HTPC that barely needs it. If they try to cancel the 128GB SSD order, I will demand a full refund without cancelling the 25$ off 100$ discount, which will make the 256GB SSD cost $55 after discount.
The 128GB SSD shipped out a few hours later

This is crazy. I can't believe there's still people waiting for their orders.
So glad I walked into a Source on the last day of the sale and picked the last one up.

Got all mine shipped today (2 128gb and 1 256gb). Got two orders with 25 off, I think I came out ahead of walking into store by getting the discount. Wasn't in a rush for it so had a bit of patience.

I was just about to post and say that my 256GB also shipped this morning and then a few minutes ago I received a second email saying my 128GB has now shipped as well. I was worried about that one, since the page to the item doesn't even exist anymore. Looks like they got some more in stock.
Looking forward to putting the 256GB in an older dell vostro i5 and the 128GB used as part of storage on my Nvidia Shield.

Ya the 128GB drive shipped a few hours later.
I guess they received the shipment for everyone who were on back ordr.
YAY
Those drives were really cheap if you think about it. For less than a typical MLC 256GB SSD, I bought a 128gb and a 256gb.
I just need ONE MORE tiny SSD. I wish they made cheap 60GB SSDs for $20. I need one for a HTPC

Even though I got both shipment emails yesterday for my 256GB and 128GB, only the 256GB showed up today. Looks like I'll have to wait til tomorrow for the 128GB.
At least I have one to play with so far.
Manufacturing date on the 256GB drive shows 2016/10, so it's pretty new.
