Yeah its pitty the usb 3 pcie low profile cards , needs molex connector to work :(

Or you could of just stuck a card in and use them on usb 3.

You can still do that, just get a "Y"-connector for one of the Molex cables.
I added 2x 2.5" drives to the 5.25" bay using a Vantec Nexstar SE caddy.

Now I can add 2x 2TB 2.5' drives and they are hot-swappable.
 
Turns out the WD special won't even cost me a cent. When I asked my mom if she wanted one she said she'd get me one for my bday in June. I've armed her with the printed ad and the store opening time.

Game has the 3TB WD MyBook going for R999!

Yeah, it's discussed a few posts up.
 
My mom is still standing in Game waiting for them to sort out the price of the WD HDD. Luckily I printed the ad with the date disclaimer on page 1 for her, which is the only reason they believe her claim that the product is on promotion. She got there just after 9.
 
friend got 4 at parow , so his sorted for now :P

His also going to remove them from enclosure and put them in his pc.
 
Sold out at Sandton City.
Had a chuckle when the guy this morning @ 9:05 told me that they had 15 in stock and there was no need to reserve a unit.
Thankfully, I insisted on reserving a unit. The packaging states that it's from 2011. Did game find a washed-ashore container from Taiwan filled with external drives from two years ago?
So far all good (drive self-check and conveyance both checked out A-OK, extended self-test @ 4 out of 6.5 hours).
 
Cheers @Aquadyne for the pic and info, so damn tempting to get one :D. Edit: also to everyone who contributes, never forget about you :).

Any idea stock level and if it will be available online?
 
Just saw a Seagate 4TB external HDD for about R1700 at Incredible Connection if I am not mistaken.

Edit: Yep, its at IC and the normal retail price is R2999.
