500GB external @ R799 from GAME

[Vegeta]

I've never ever bought PC hardware from game but this doesn't look like a bad offer. I am in the market for a hard drive and enclosure and this looks like a great price... is it?

Yeah it's about R200 less than what you could normally expect to pay. Go for it.

Mom heard the same thing, they gave her a 750GB for the same price, its good to be on friendly terms with a store manager

It was probably a Seagate 7200.11 HDD inside

No... That's BAD. That model firmware for the 500 and 750GB drives has a 40% fail ratio. Mine works fine, but I won't take that risk in buying a new one of that model. All the other models works perfectly.

I wouldn't buy it - if you do, make sure u DO NOT PUT important stuff on there
