Lucky PC builder pays just $146 for 2TB 990 Evo Plus SSD, receives 9 — Amazon blunder so unbelievable some people think it's a marketing conspiracy

Box of nine 2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSDs.

A lucky online shopper has taken to social media to boast how they received “a whole box of SSDs instead of one.” Redditor Ok-Middle-1360 bought one 2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD from Amazon, and was understandably surprised when a box of nine units arrived. Redditors were quick to congratulate/complain about the apparent Amazon packing error, and offer up theories as to how such obvious errors happen. It has even been suggested that Amazon randomly picks out buyers for such a ‘jackpot’ as a viral marketing ploy.
