[Cantera]

A mate of mine gave me a heads up on a Hard Drive that will be going on special on Thursday at Incredible.

Its this one over here - https://www.incredible.co.za/ProductDescription.aspx?SKU=68673

Going on special for R799

Is that a great price?

 

[ToxicBunny]

and how credble is this source?

and which Incredibles is it going on special at?

 

[Cantera]

The source is extremely credible. Is it a good deal?

Its going on special at Incredible at Tygervalley.

There's a 1TB Verbatim christmas special at Makro, R899.99! You might wanna check it out.

I want one.
Is it only in tygervalley.
Incredible is normally expensive but i notice that sometimes they have this 'First 20 customers' sale where the items are quite cheap.

I think this is the same external drive they had on special last week - page 239 of the Hardware Bargains thread - post 3579. Will be good if they have stock again as the batch they had sold out in a few hours!

AFAIK they have always done tape and DAT backup solutions for many years - HDD's seem fairly new avenue for them

Lol did you only get into computing in the last six months?

Did you spell that right?

I have been working with computers since 2005, I just noticed Iomega's products popping up on Incredible Corruption's catalogs lately, I never heard of them before that

Doh typo

Yeah Iomega has been around for a while. I still have nightmares about Iomega Jaz drives and the 'click of death'

I remember Iomega making Zip (also Jazz drives I think) disks, which were going to replace stiffies back in the early 90's, but CD writers took over.

Ah Zip drives, I've seen them, but they where before my time, I wish they had replaced stiffies

I'm pretty happy with USB flash drives.

Surely you meant the Zip drive...

I still got the original Zip-100 parallel port drive, can't get anybody interested in it at all, it being old technology...
