If your particular order shipped with a drive WAY off what you expected and is NOT represented by these options, feel free to elaborate below.

If you ordered more than one unit and more than one was different than sold, then just report on the one that is the most significant to you.

(Now remember that reported sizes in megabytes may not seem to add up exactly -- for example, if emplode says your drive is 18.5MB, then you got a 20GB. If the variance is not significant then you got what you paid for.)
Did you receive a larger drive in your empeg than you paid for?
Only one choice allowed

Just so everyone knows...

It was already reported that there were some 12's in stock that were labeled as 10's. This is a "known thing" that is normal. Of greater interest would be whether or not anyone got a 20 instead of a 10.

Hmm -- someone voted "Yes - got something larger than paid for but not the above options"

The suspense is killing me. I wonder what they ordered/got?

A shaky Mouse hand?

Or perhaps a lack of understanding about the difference between disk drive mfr gigs and real gigs?

Jeez, that's really difficult to explain to nit-picky people. I've talked to hundreds of customers pissed because they're "missing" hard drive space.

I ordered 2x60GB units (one for a friend, other a backup) and got those as well as a screen change kit which I didn't order. I did see on another thread that plenty were available (1000 or so) , so I guess whoever was packing was feeling generous!
