Does this look right https://www.takealot.com/1tb-ssd-portable-hardrive/PLID93383700 ?

Seems like it could be pretty much a scam. The ones with a bloody sd card in them

Could be very slow drive, but might be a 1tb. Flash memory is getting very cheap in China

I see the TA seller also has a 2TB for R750

BUT - according to a pic of the box it's just an enclosure

Needed some ram. Thanks!

Anyone that bought that ram, how is it?
Theres not much info about it on the web but Adata seems like a decent brand so probably should be fine.

For the price, this is a great buy..

Thanks, I was aware of that
It is a great price but not actually so far off going rate, ram prices have tumbled.
I paid R2500 for 2 x 16gb Gskill 3200 1.5yrs ago and that exact set is now R1350

My PC actually running now. Had some memory errors on my previous set that caused resetting

The specs are hilarious

Noise Level: 6Gb/s
Has External Power Supply: Yes
Speed: 5400rpm
Cache: 4TB
Wireless: Yes

This is clearly a magic 1TB SSD with flash memory that somehow spins at 5400rpm, with a cache 4x larger than the storage itself and is wireless nogal. Not sure what 6Gb/s sounds like though.

Just to confirm previous set = errors , Adata set = all good?
What speed are you running it at and in conjunction with what CPU?

Seems like a very loud SSD, @DTBA please confirm noise level of this SSD.

Yes, previous set was Corsair and was blue-screening. Running with default speed with a 3200G.

Thanks, did you get the 3200 modules or are you overclocking the 3000 ones?

Seems 3200g’s official XMP speed is 2933, so no need to overclock, 3000MT/s is fine

Niether have cache so expect a big speed decrease on bigger files, but for a secondary NVME its probably a good deal.
