Anyone bought the Verbatim 1TB external from Makro? Bigicy (forumite) told me when his colleague went there, sale people told him not to get this as there were so many faulty returns. Just to let you guys know.

I saw it and was thinking of getting it. thanks for the headsup.

I have one of those, has been working quite well for about 4 months now. No problems.

I have one of those 1TB Verbatims as well. It has Samsung drive inside and I've had no problems thus far.

What's a forumite?

forumite
A regular at any given Internet message-board system, or "forum".
Eg.
The forumites of the GameSpy Forums are often plagued by the whining of n00bs.

You have succeeded

How do they manage to have a bricknmortar shop which is not a wholesaler and still have such good prices?

I also don't get it. With those prices, they must do a roaring trade. Time to expand, I say!

 

[Zyzzyva]

Why don't one of you got pitch the idea. If transport is the issue, they can wip R50 onto the price of every item and they would still be cheap.

Good plan. Apparently, if you organise your own courier then they can make a plan, but that is not exactly what we are looking for...

They probably make a few cents on each item, so no money to expand [yet].

That's almost R1 a gig.
Still a good price at the end of the day for 500gig.
TB's are just a couple bucks more though - when on special as we know
