Any good prices on 3 or 4 TB internal hard drives with 3-5 year warranty? ie WD Red, Purple (AV), Black, RE or SE's or the Seagate enterprise drives?



BTW - My most recent 3TB Seagate died 1 month after expiry of the warranty... Thus now my cost evaluation criteria is R/year/TB.

It will do duty in a Microserver, running Nas4Free (BSD) and ZFS as the generic media and backup server for all electronics in my home.

Damn I am not sure what it is, but Takealot have some seriously well priced items. Recently their prices have become very competitive on certain items. I am not sure why but if you skim through their catalogue, these are what I come across.

Cooler Master 550 Silent Pro Gold Series 550W 80+Power Supply - Black
- 80% Gold Efficiency
- 5 Year Warranty
- Cheapest 550W Gold Certified PSU in SA (That I am aware of)
- R818 including courier delivery (I Bought 1)

Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD 64MB Cache - SATA 3 - 6.0Gb/s
- 7200RPM
- R1370 inc Courier Delivery ( I bought 2)

WD Caviar Green - 3TB SATA2 6Gb/s 64 MB Cache
- 5400-7200RPM
- R1313 inc Courier Delivery

WD Elements 3.5 Inch 3TB External Hard Drive
- R1376 inc Courier Delivery
 
Check out the 51 inch Samsung plasmas, around the same price and will knock their socks off

Thanks for the HDD prices.

I recently bought a whole lot of pet food from them. Much cheaper then Checkers/PnP

Yeah but you could earn up to 15% back in ebucks from Checkers...

True. Thou you also earn eBucks at Takealot as well.

You save more with TakeAlot as well. 15% of the price is 1.5% cash...
 
Hisense is very good IMO and Telefunken be careful!
 
Well my choice has been made... Thanks guys! :D

Huh? No, 15% back in eBucks is equivalent to 15% in rand value. So spend R100 at Checkers and one would get 150 eBucks / R15 back.

edit: Of course one would have to be on the top rewards tier to get 15% back.
