Default How long was/is your Runcore backorder? - 04-13-2009, 10:56 PM

Hey there,

I'm awaiting my mini 9's arrival in the mail and want to purchase a runcore. I have read that the wait time after you order can be months. Is this true? If so, how long did you wait, or are you waiting? Also, is it worth the wait or should I just go with a super talent?

I plan on using my mini for osx w/ some audio editing applicaitons.

I'm happy I waited for runcore- it took about 3 weeks. the slave USB made install ever so easy. Flawless perfomance for about 4 months now, I think

I ordered a mini-9 from Dell and a 64 GB Runcore from MDD on 3/27. I got an invoice from MDD this morning and the drive was in my mailbox (USPS was the cheapest shipping option) this afternoon. It sounds like production is starting to increase and they are catching up on the backlog.

My computer is not scheduled to be delivered until 4/27.

I would go ahead and order the Runcore. You should be able to cancel the order and go with something else if the wait is too long. They did not bill my credit card until they shipped the drive.

I ordered my first 32GB RunCore from MyDigitalDiscount on Jan 20. It happened to be in stock and was shipped out the next day. Very satisfied with it.

I ordered a second 32GB RunCore on Mar 3. It was shipped out today (Apr 13).

I ordered a third 32GB RunCore on Mar 10. No word yet on when it will be shipped.

It appears as though MANY orders were sent out on the 13th of this month. Considering I just ordered mine today, it looks like I have a LONG wait ahead of me for my 32 gig

I ordered mine 3/4 - it shipped today, scheduled to arrive 4/20. I had canceled the order, but they MDD did not cancel it, so a friend will be taking this one. 6+ week turnaround - good luck.

I ordered mine on 3/9 and I'm still waiting on my 32gb. From what the boards say it'll be worth the wait. I hope so!
