December 31 - The last straw!
The BX300 was released in three models initially, a 120GB, 240GB and 480GB version. The BX300 uses Micron 3D NAND, paired with a bit of DRAM cache and likely an SLC written buffer as well. Our tested BX300 480 GB SSD is advertised at proper SATA3 SSD performance metrics with 555MB/s for sequential read and 510MB/s on sequential writes. Random 4K IOPS show numbers in the 95K for both random read and write IOPS.

Considering how many of the prizes could be labeled as "a great product that nobody wants to buy", a Vega would make sense. But perhaps due to supply issues, that's why we didn't see one.
I am a bit curious how Hilbert gets all these prizes, because they're all very nice. Are some of them open-box products from reviews? Are some of them products he was given to review but never bothered with? Or are they all donated for the sake of these giveaways?
Probably left from reviews , some manufactures don't request return i know i saw label on one graphic card that stated "Not for sale , promotional".
