Question of the Day: What is your employer's plan for the 30 June protests?
- Status
That is a SUPER price... for 1TB??? Good grief.
Just a stupid question. 16mb vs 32mb vs 64mb cache?
No specific reason why this one is so cheap?
Edit : Nevermind, nothing major. Worked out though, at 1000GB (Roughly even if you take away 10%) i will be able to fit 1000 movies on there!!! (Again, roughly-don't get technical on me)

1000 HDD GB = ~931GB Formatted if I recall correctly. That is ~1330 movies to be exact(ish).
I'd go for the 2TB in any case by the way. Take2 got 'em for R972, or you could for first time in your life buy PC hardware over the counter for market relevant prices at an actual brick and mortar store ... Incredible Corruption got 'em for a whoppingly low R999.

Yeah, I noticed the 2TB ones... hmmm nice price. But if you on a low budget just for a backup drive ... that Sammy is not bad. My first 1TB drive was over R1500 and it was one of those seagates .11 with firmware issues
I lol'd at this line. good one.

awesome console - actually tried to get one, but looks like BT only had 1 or 2 per branch for that price and they already sold out

1TB for that price is nice but the variable RPM doesn't seem cool.
Basically this isn't to run your OS or apps off of (even though I wonder if you'd notice the difference) but to store all your movies etc.
And that's exactly what I need it for. To store movies. Although ripping 1000+ movies to 700mb DivX is't going to be fun
any bright ideas from the peoplez?

It's faster to download movies than to sit and rip them.
Something like.............. 100 people ripping at once. Or something. Sure not going to sit and rip 1000movies to DivX in a few days.
Only on a 4mb line. Which I do not have. Yet.
Are they on DVD's or what?

Rip them yourself. But do like one a night or something. There is really no "easy" way to do it. Unless you got like multiple dvd roms, then you could speed up the process to some degree.
