After finding and disclosing a vulnerability in a graphics card manufacturer's site they offered me cash or a brand new GTX 1070. Which was sold out everywhere at the time and was selling for about 2x the retail cost on eBay. Not sure what you can take away from this, but could it be possible that the "storage" is in part manufactured by the card manufacturers themselves? (or maybe they thought this would be a special reward I might have wanted?)
