External Hard Drive recommendation

[mohammedm]

I have decided on the following drive:
http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=10820
The above only has a speed of 5400rpm, but does have a firewire connection and gets power from the USB port.

Now to find it!!!
I have seen it at GadgetGuru at the V&A Waterfront for R2600 (they will give me a R100 discount - yay!!!).
DigitalPlanet has it listed for R2300.
The suppliers of Lacie drives in SA are out of stock, but their price is R1750.
ExactMall has it listed at R1739, but will only order stock once you place your order.

Does anyone know of a store in CT (or JHB) where I can walk in and pick one up for not more than R1800?

The drive looks cool. I found this one, which is not exactly the same but maybe they have yours in stock

I still need to setup the ESATA though, but it should be even quicker than the USB

I cannot stress this enough...... SETUP THE ESATA!!!!!!!

Seriously, it's like having SATA speeds only on the outside. Changed my outlook on external drives completely.

Just set it up already...
