PC Shops - Randburg - eSata enclosures

[andrekrit]

Hi there

I'm urgently looking to buy an external hard drive enclosure (for IDE / SATA drive) with an eSata interface. Does anyone know of a good "brick and mortar" shop where I can buy one (can't wait for delivery from an online shop - yes, I know, I waited too long ;-). The Vantec NexStar 3 eSata looks like a good option.

i could be wrong but don't think esata will work with an IDE drive, i stand to be corrected though

Matrix is useless... they no longer stock Vantec, nor do they actually have ANY enclosures with eSata...

only other place in randburg i can think of is brightwater house commons (old waterfront)

zaps could have what you looking for else there's a few stalls in the middles market that sell pc parts etc

i've seen a few enclosures there while browsing, worth a look if you desperate

edit: i just rem that there's a shop in cresta (forget the name) on the bottom floor at the end of the mall,
they sell mostly macs with huge white screens everywere, they stock enclosures as well

Wayne's World Computers Cresta and also Accomp Systems near Cresta centre in Republic Road

Accomp Systems does have a website with pricelist and you can order and pay and pick up the stuff

Not really brick and mortar, but Sybaritic may have or be able to get for you - usually takes a couple of days, then you can collect...

Whether it is a SATA or PATA(ATA) interface the drive is still IDE, the thing to look at here is the interface type.
