R600 for HDD

[MrG]

Hey guys.

Looking for the largest standard spec HDD (SATA) for R600.

Last one I bought 2 months ago was R699 for a 320GB SeaGate.

That same shop now sells that same 320GB for R670 so thats my best price for a 320GB. What else is there?

From take2:

Samsung HDD - SATA-300 - 16MB Cache - 500GB Price: R 716

Western Digital Caviar SE16 Hard Drive – SATA II – 16MB Cache - 320GB Price: R 665

I noticed that but according to my google search on cache its no problem if you using it as backup/stoarage only.. for like large files or whatever. Operating System/System Files/Program Files should be on a drive with larger cache

Canal Walk told me they had 30.. I get to Canal Walk they say it was a misprint. nice hey.

IC Eastgate tell me no way; the best they've got is a 320GB for R749.00

 

[MrG]

yah, Canal walk told me something similar.

Typical IC.

What kind of a misprint is that?!

Nothing about it on the website. Just a 360GB Iomega external for R750 if you want to go that route.

If it sounds to good to be true then it usually is.

IC at the Atterbury Value Mart had the same story of no stock, but offered me a 500 Gb Seagate at R800 instead. Idiots.

So sad
