Yeah, I would buy a 970 or even an NV2 over that questionable brand, and it would still be a little cheaper. :rolleyes:

Because it's being sold by addlink (which probably means one random dude importing them), not Amazon themselves. You can bet if Wizz gives this a favourable review, Amazon will reach out to addlink to arrange to stock these drives directly, which will drastically push the price down due to Amazon's economies of scale.

Would Amazon allow a random guy, unaffiliated with Addlink, to present themself as "Addlink Store"?

Also, he or she sells that brand exclusively.
