Seagate 2.5" Expansion Portable Drive - 1TB - R699 at takealot.

You can disassemble the STEA1000400 expansion and remove the drive inside for use in a laptop if you want. I upgraded my one laptop a while back to 1 TB using this drive.
Quick and easy to do, youtube is here if anyone interested: Seagate Expansion Portable Drive Review and Disassembly - 1TB version

I opened the one I bought from takealot a few months ago @R799 and found a seagate ST1000LM035 instead of the samsung mentioned in the youtube video.

Using the current EASTER200 voucher you can get it for R499 - this is actually cheaper than buying an internal drive.
 
Budgets aside by far the biggest favour you can do to a laptop is replacing the spinning 5400 rpm drive with an SSD.

True - depending on what you use it for. It was a backup laptop I later gave to my mom - she like to download lots of stuff but is not so concerned about speed.
 
Aaaaand I missed out. Anyone selling there's :-P

It will be back. When I ordered, there were like 30 available and it went quite quickly. Went out of stock before I could get more/share here. Now today they loaded even more stock. So just keep an eye on it...

Nope but you can get three of these for R49 incl shipping :crylaugh:

Got 3 of them as well. It is R80.

Good to know. How long did delivery take after order?

Delivery was like next day. Left at 4pm on Friday, got it today. JHB to CPT with RTT.
