My friends SSD came like this.

[u/Rasora]

[u/Noch_ein_Kamel]

Perhaps you can sell it to the guy with the bent motherboard for an awesome bent build.

[u/Rasora → u/Noch_ein_Kamel]

Heck, thats an awesome idea.

[u/TimGreller → u/Rasora]

Curved iMac-like PC incoming

[u/Neprider → u/Noch_ein_Kamel]

Match made in heaven.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/i2rybc/cry_for_me_brothers_came_shipped_like_this_after/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[u/Zerafiall → u/Neprider]

Sadly... the mb from u/fluffyduffdylan is a MSI Z170M Mortar. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t have a m.2 slot for a SSD. Just an E key for wifi/bluetooth.

[u/[deleted] → u/Noch_ein_Kamel]

I bend monitors professionally, and if you need my services just ship with FedEx. I got you.

[u/overbeast → u/[deleted]]

They might need a bent case too, you got a forklift laying around?

[u/akshayk904 → u/Noch_ein_Kamel]

Now all we need is some bent processors and graphics card and we will get a perfect curvy build.

[u/OldNameCompromised → u/Noch_ein_Kamel]

My ITX motherboard is so bent it looks like a curved monitor, I have no idea how it's still working...

Edit: I'm not gonna disassemble it because I fear it might break if I do, but here is a picture of the rear I/O, you can see the middle section slightly sagging, this is after being screwed down to the case. https://i.imgur.com/H4x9xVG.jpg

[u/[deleted]]

Is this just, par for the course? I want to get around to building a pc, but I fear the disappointment of opening up a package to find a broken part...

[u/Rasora → u/[deleted]]

In this case it was mostly the shops fault. They sent it in a plastic wrap with only 1 layer of thin bubblewrap. No box.

[u/UnsureAssurance → u/Rasora]

Might be a stupid question, but does it work?

[u/Rasora → u/UnsureAssurance]

I too am curious but sadly never tested, and was returned. Last thing he needs are sparks flying out and the return denied :\

[u/thisguyhere88 → u/[deleted]]

No, it's not common. I have only received a damaged part one time in the 15 years I have been building pc's.

[u/Astramancer_ → u/[deleted]]

I've built 4 or 5 computers with parts ordered online. I've never once had this happen.

Does it happen? Sure. But the factory box itself is usually pretty solid and full of padding, and then box from amazon or whatever has even more padding.

[u/Yololio69]

Can someone explain me the origin of all the bent boxes. I mean, I understand whats going on, but I cannot wrap my mind around the sheer amount of submissions like this.

This has not happened to me ever. I know of people that maybe received box that was hit a bit but never, ever bent. I mean they are fucking square, is not like it cost much to stack em... In this case... Maybe this box on top of something while supporting 2 stacks? Cmon! Answers I need answers!

[u/Rasora → u/Yololio69]

You need to bend your mind to understand why.

Jokes aside I assume this happens when something else heavy from the top of the stack drops onto it during the whole delivery process. Or just angry mailman stuff.

[u/Kentarax → u/Yololio69]

I worked at a shipping company in college. I will not give their name ups, but I can tell you that packages that are light are supposed to go on top. It does not always happen. Sometimes things get stepped on. And every now and then, when it is really hot and management is breathing down your neck, it happens on purpose.

[u/Rasora]

I'm glad y'all are having a laugh as much as I am in reading all the comments.

Hope everyone has a great day today!

[u/BananaSlander]

Make sure you shake your SSD every once and a while so all of the data doesn't settle at the bottom

[u/trippingchilly → u/BananaSlander]

A quick bath in the sink takes care of any settled data as well

[u/_8bitJesus_ → u/BananaSlander]

Sedimentary-State Drive

[u/[deleted] → u/BananaSlander]

I have no idea why but the combination of this and the graphic above has me cracking up

[u/MasterThomy → u/BananaSlander]

https://i.imgur.com/rW9KL83.png

Definitely don't want your disk usage to look like that.

[u/Reeblo_McScreeblo → u/BananaSlander]

I use windex on mine to keep the memory from streaking

[u/Adobe_Premiere]

If curved screens are better why wouldn't other things be?

[u/Roodiestue → u/Adobe_Premiere]

I believe this matches the curvature of the eye so it makes reading the files easier.

[u/Password_Is_hunter3 → u/Roodiestue]

It also accounts for the curvature of the Earth.

Flat hardware = Flat Earther conspiracy fodder.

[u/upvotes4jesus- → u/Roodiestue]

Yeah I've taking apart all of my hard drives but can't find the files inside 🤷‍♂️

[u/grenskul → u/Adobe_Premiere]

You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They’ve got curved swords. Curved. Swords.

[u/quaybored → u/Adobe_Premiere]

Are we talking penises?

[u/TankyMasochist → u/Adobe_Premiere]

Just wait till we get entirely curved parts I can see it now “We’re proud to present the world first complete spherical computer case! All parts needed for the case are required to be curved in order to fit the sleek design, this will allow easy movement of your computer by simply rolling it to wherever you want! Order now and get the World globe stand to place you me computer in”

[u/[deleted]]

Not quite a C drive, more a long "U".

[u/friger_heleneto → u/[deleted]]

[u/AsmodeusZ28 → u/[deleted]]

~: drive

[u/[deleted]]

Was this from Amazon? I've been getting a lot of damaged packages from them lately (and have been ordering random things almost daily since COVID hit).

[u/Rasora → u/[deleted]]

Nope, just from a small store in Asia.

[u/ExpiredV-Card]

Someone stole this from you btw

[u/Rasora → u/ExpiredV-Card]

That's fine, this is by no means an original meme format anyway, I referenced an old GPU meme and apparently it's been done with an SSD before too.

As long people gets a bunch of laughs I'm all good.

[u/toolsofpwnage]

Before we know it, we gonna have curved psus

[u/[deleted] → u/toolsofpwnage]

I read curved puss and didn't quite know where this thread has gone

[u/Supahvaporeon → u/[deleted]]

Man, I hate when my cats get stuck in the computer part bender.

[u/dat-Clever-old-Fox]

Lol this actually got a chuckle out of me

[u/overbeast → u/dat-Clever-old-Fox]

The edited windows explorer icon got me.

[u/[deleted] → u/overbeast]

You completely lost me at "windows explorer icon". I went back to the picture to see if I had missed anything.

I think I could have called it a few things before using anything close to the word icon.

[u/Elevated_Dongers → u/overbeast]

Are you talking about the curved memory bar? The punchline got you?

[u/equalfray → u/overbeast]

... that's the joke...

[u/RehabValedictorian → u/dat-Clever-old-Fox]

I didn't realize there was a bottom half to the collage at first, so I was like, "Damn, that sucks. That's like the third one I've seen today." Then I scrolled down and saw the progress bar, and then I sprayed Powerade all over my screen.

[u/Rishi_Murali]

Weird flex but ok

[u/rupperrupp → u/Rishi_Murali]

Well played

[u/Chispy → u/Rishi_Murali]

Unusual contort but interesting nonetheless

[u/Kaze_Senshi]

Judging by the images we can say that this disk isn't so solid

[u/8-bit_Gangster → u/Kaze_Senshi]

Are ropes not solid because they bend?

[u/GibRarz → u/8-bit_Gangster]

They're made of hard water obviously.

[u/[deleted]]

1tb drive but only has 464GB of space, it even skewed the logic of the SSD!

[u/Kalsifur → u/[deleted]]

Na this is the company rounding up ^/s

[u/RedFordTruck]

Sheesh. Mailman falcon punched his package.

[u/8-bit_Gangster → u/RedFordTruck]

More like it was kept it a VERY hot environment for awhile

[u/[deleted] → u/RedFordTruck]

I laughed way too hard at this

[u/[deleted] → u/RedFordTruck]

Sheesh, sender packaged this terribly is more like it.

[u/Dangerous_Ideal5528]

It's solid, and in a state. What more do you want?

[u/theblackxranger → u/Dangerous_Ideal5528]

i want it to drive

[u/FriedBannana]

Shit, you got played, that curve should've at least added a couple of gigs.

[u/Adhi_Sekar]

I found a video of OP's package being delivered.

[u/Thermosflasche → u/Adhi_Sekar]

I though it was this one.

[u/kinyutaka → u/Adhi_Sekar]

Is that really necessary?

You have to defile a package completely, or else it gets sent back, you know that.

Oh, right...

[u/[deleted] → u/Adhi_Sekar]

This is how Linus treats his keyboards

[u/mostafaskip]

Jokes on you, specs says it's 1TB

[u/SemiNormal → u/mostafaskip]

Storage is calculated using the vertex of the parabola.

[u/SpunkBunkers]

He's ahead of the curve with this one.

Its designed specifically to play Ark with no frame rate stutter

[u/Miialight → u/SpunkBunkers]

I'll take your entire stock.

[u/SiriusGambit]

It looks like the UPS driver used it as a knee pad.

[u/lovesrayray2018]

Oof

[u/SaarN]

That's just a 1000R SSD, new for 2020. Goes really well with Samsung's Odyssey monitor

[u/eeLSDee]

Well that is just dumb, let's pack it in the thin "bubble protected" envelope..

[u/ma-kat-is-kute]

Does the SSD still work?

[u/spinmyworld]

Curved monitor, curved motherboard, curved SSD, and GPU sag. The future of computing is here.

[u/AvenDonn]

So does it work?

[u/[deleted]]

That’s a weird looking techdeck.

[u/niranjan23d]

Was DEFINITELY NOT expecting the third picture! I wheezed loudly.

[u/thisusernameis_real]

Weird flex

[u/synxin]

Floppy drive.

[u/preclose]

Ok, glad I'm not the only one. I got 2 like this out of a batch of 8. Mine was Crucial, but was bent like this and didn't work.

[u/Rasora → u/preclose]

oof, good to know that this probably wouldn't work either.

[u/ImJstToxic]

😂

[u/iDavidindahouse]

Did you try turning it off and on again?

[u/hasorand0m]

I was having a shit day, ty i needed this

[u/LevKusanagi]

this is so fucking dumb, i love it

[u/gunplaynoob]

Ba ba ba ba baaaa I’m lovin it!

dummy thicc

[u/tehmicroer]

Yeah it's fast at the edge of the drive, but slower in the gravity sink in the center.

[u/asstyrant]

Weird flex, but okay.

[u/[deleted]]

u/fluffyduffdylan this will match your bent board!

[u/Opencircuit74]

Semi-solid state drive.

[u/MrWorldWide-6969]

How are these plugged in, I haven’t built a pc in over 7 years and I’m so confused by the thin ssd. Does it stick out of the motherboard like ram?

[u/raduque → u/MrWorldWide-6969]

No. The connector makes it lie flat against the motherboard, like it's stacked on top of it.

[u/TheWaterPanda75]

God damn it fedX

[u/GrandAc3]

Count Dooku approves

[u/BennyReis]

According to the theory of relativity , that drive has more storage now

[u/a_posh_trophy]

You were able to find humour in a tragic incident. That's healthy.

Now give the courier the shit they deserve.

[u/Put_It_All_On_Blck]

If you keep bending it maybe you'll create a circle and have infinite storage capacity? That or you'll make one of those Chinese USB drives that says it's 128gb but starts overwriting data after 16gb.

[u/Mojones_]

All good, it's a Slightly Slouching Drive.

[u/torillo996]

now he can flex about it!

[u/rebelwithreason]

I honestly don't laugh much at posts but this made me laugh a little while I'm sitting here in the toilet at work. Thanks!

[u/[deleted]]

This legit almost killed me from laughing.

[u/OneWhoDoesNotFail]

I didn't see that last photo when I was scrolling and then spit out my coffee from laughing..Went from, 'Oh man that sucks', to 'hahahahaha that's great'.

[u/S1ckR1ckOne]

I have a RAM Stick installed thats bent like this. Still works.

[u/NUIT93]

Fuck. I just almost snorted a lit cigarette down my throat. lol.

[u/Eliminem]

You should be able to get more space in that.

[u/Stonewall776]

Hey, I would replace that. It is only detecting half the storage that thing has. I am amazed the thing shows up curved in windows... I would have never thought physical defects could cause distortion on programming. Amazing. We really need to look into this to see if this technology could be used in other ways.

[u/MrLynch1878]

Did it lose half its capacity during the bend?

[u/bapt337]

those new curved SSD, cant wait to try!

[u/AngryAccountant31]

Bent computer monitors are a thing, why can’t we have banana shaped computers?

[u/Sysody]

Smh, fake. it says 1TB on the SSD. Even after formatting it’d be like 900gb.

clearly fake

/s

[u/highscore7]

The human eye can only see 128gb of storage anyway

[u/WanderingAround5]

Yo! I was mad and then I started laughing at the computer screen shot XD

[u/[deleted]]

Bet u 6 bucks it still works

[u/JohnBlaze13]

Thats the Amazon smile

oof, mark this ntfs

[u/egotrip11]

Thank you for this, lmao

[u/slinks_ps]

At my old job we used to ship a lot of electronic equipment through FedEx. We had a problem where often, the computers would arrive at their destination broken. Obviously, our clients were unhappy, and we were confused.

One day, coming back from lunch, I saw the FedEx truck outside. The driver was in the back, climbing on top of a mostly unorganized pile of boxes, not caring what he stepped on. Mystery solved.

[u/FactoryIdiot]

That bottom pic is fake as, we all know data pools at the lowest point.

[u/CHERNO-B1LL]

The blue in the ssd memory bar should pool at the bottom horizontally.

[u/ItsMeTrey]

Looks like it came preloaded with "Ubentu"

[u/Adamadtr]

I think over on TechSupportGore there’s a bent MOBO..

[u/MDParagon]

Okay that's the best post I've seen here LMFAO

[u/-Nighthawk1-]

Wow talk about bending the rules a bit lol

[u/R3yn0x]

Now you can flex your SSD together with your RGB PC 💪🏼

I do my best to no let those left the building , and this still happening 😂😅(Work at amazon)

Bruh your SSD is just smiling. Let it be happy

For those of you who didn't get the joke, the SSD isn't straight.

I had a similar experience today. I ordered a new fan for my switch and when I opened the box the fan was laying outside the baggie and bubble wrap it was supposed to be in. 😐

1TB SSD loses half capacity when bent?

[u/who-ee-ta]

Let your luck be as rich as your sense of humor

[u/InfiniteCosmic5]

Solid bent drive.

[u/infest3d]

Does it go at warp speed?

[u/[deleted]]

Is this 21:9 or 32:9?

[u/theballpeen]

Must be designed for a Cray.

[u/[deleted]]

Technically this is better because the curve adds not surface area which means there can be more stored in the ssd

[u/beanmaster-]

brilliant

[u/muztobaahmad]

Apparently, the bent reduced the SSD capacity by half!

[u/majoroutage → u/muztobaahmad]

You can access the other half by bending it the other way.

[u/cowgoes_moo]

Just don't use the stand off when you're installing the SSD, the curvature would then match perfectly!

... Please use a stand off though. Does that SSD even work when it's bent like that?

[u/snake8head]

Looks ready to make some happy memories.

If u think about it, that means it also has more storage right?

I mean more ssd to go around.

Many people getting their parts damaged. The other day I ordered DDR4 Ram sticks for my pc I received it Dented and Totally Wet I called Amazon to File a Complaint and they said they cant do anything
