Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Been wanting this for ages,but the price in my country is around 1k USD which is too much since Amazon.us has it for less.But the shipping and custom fee from Amazon is too much for me to make the call. Massdrop can ship this for $6.7 and I rarely got caught by the custom for packages from Massdrop.
Just think all the things you can do with it,everything on the go,movies(porn),music,photos and even entire Steam game library.No to mention you can use it to transfer big files when you got an new computer which if you don't have any high capacity disk/flash drive will be really painful,I know an 2T disk drive is available for like 100 to 200 USD but from what I have experienced they are generally not as reliable as flash drive and is much bigger.I have 2 disk drives that failed with in 2 years,even after the repair it is slow as hell,like 5MB/s,and they are from big brand like Samsung.But none of my flash drive ever failed me,even the oldest 256 MB one from a Chinese company.
And I believe you can place your entire Operating System on it and boot the computer with it.
I don't trust most cloud drive thingy plus the international Internet connection in my country is slow so this is a valid option for me ,I know it is still overpriced but I have waited the price to come down for almost a year now and I think it is time for me to pull the trigger.
About the MSRP I don't think it is ever sold on that number though US Amazon,but it is available for ¥8888 on Amazon.cn,and if you want the seller to be Amazon.cn you can enjoy paying ¥ 9025,which is about 1500 USD. That is some proper BS. http://www.amazon.cn/gp/product/B00FDIMCWS/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i1_gs9w?pf_rd_m=A1AJ19PSB66TGU&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0FQZ0DGJWNX36RB4E07Y&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=249596992&pf_rd_i=899254051

DeathWatchGuys, we got one here.
By the way @DeathWatch, MD ships items pricey like this via DHL IE or UPS IS, which involves a lot of paperworks including a commercial invoice and then it will go thru customs clearing process, not like simple international mail services. I think you should make sure that MD would send this via DHL GM, UPS MI or USPS Int'l letter so that the package wouldn't get caught at customs.

bookThanks for the heads up,I know normal DHL and UPS service is a bugger,that is one of the reason for me to being on MD.
As for the shipping method I really have no idea,I think they should be using DHL GM or UPS MI,at least they ship fountain pen that is $ 400 with it,but I do think I heard they used other options at times so I have no idea.....
But i do think i will get to MD's support and try to ask them if they have any idea if they didn't reply here.
