S3700 Discontinued?

[DBrus2]

I just heard from CDW that the S3700 (or at least the 200GB product in this line) has been discontinued effective 6/28/13. Since this was just launched in Q4 2012, I'm very concerned. I've been trying to get a set of these drives for a couple of months and there simply hasn't been any supply. Is this line really dead?

I'm sure this isn't the right place to post this question, but I'm hoping that it will be forwarded to the right place before it needs to be removed...

Thanks!

They are still shipping. They are "significantly" backordered though. So much so that many vendors are pulling them from their websites/systems from what I can tell. We just received an order from Provantage after waiting about 3 weeks. We had ordered from another vendor initially and cancelled that order once we received the drives. That vendor said it would be another 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for the help. I was able to place an order with Provantage. Yes, it's on backorder but there is a hope that it will ship early next week. For anyone else looking, M&A Technology is also expecting to get some in within the next few weeks. I didn't order from them simply because I found Provantage first.

In case this helps, TigerDirect has 100GB and 400GB models available.
