Yeah, I'm aware that my posts are abrasive at times. So please accept my apologies for past and future brashness.

Ah, you did get one! Very nice! Did you cancel the 1TB? If not, get a USB to NVMe enclosure and use it for backups and file transfers.
Here's mine;

It's only got a 256GB drive in it, but that's all I need.

Ive got the 1TB with me here and Im not sending it back. That will still be used as an OS drive. The 2TB will be added to the new build to go along with an already existing 2TB SN770.... for uniformity.

Im quite a collector of these drives.

::EDIT::

Its also confusing how they got the previous 1TB out on next day shipping (free delivery) when this 2TB hasnt even been despatched yet. 1TB ordered on the 15th arrived on the 17th. 2TB ordered on the 16th is still not even dispatched. Amazon RNG. Either the machine is broken down or they've fired all their staff.

Im in no rush for it anyway. I'll always take the free shipping option because that saves me around £5 or 6

New one..

(old one faulty after 3 years, suddenly kept beeping last week, not a battery/power/dust problem)

The sensor does wear out, but should last around a decade.

I have a 40-year-old mains unit based on Americium that started beeping, in that case it was the main capacitor, which I replaced.

This Logitech K400 to replace the tiny no-name keyboard w/touchpad I normally use for my htpc.

It's flimsy, and made from shitty plastic but I won't be using it much anyway.

Besides 230V this new one has a built-in battery too, that should last 10 years.
So no more replacing batteries.
