Storage Space

[WoW]

Running out of storage space on my 500gb MAXTOR and 250gb Lacie. I do not want multiple drive connected to the PS3 so I am looking for a 1TB drive. What do you use and how is it working for you?

I am looking at paying R2000.

Which online shops should I look at?

Get a Western Digital.

1tb western digital external is around R2500

No. Even the 1tb black drive is 1800. Where do you guys shop? For 2000 you should at least be able to get a 1.5tb. Check www.take2.co.za and www.prophecy.co.za.

Also check out the Samsung 1TB. They're well priced.

WD 1.5 TB ( The new "green" drives) for R2150 at comx-computers. Couldn't find it somewhere else though. Those are freakkin excellent drives!

Landmarkpc has 1.5TB Seagate's (NOTE: 7200.11's) for around R1700.

But like Postmanpot said, also check the Samsung drives. I'll have a look at them before I buy a Seagate though...

Even the 1tb black drive is 1800

Ok I got it.

Whole on holiday I went in to PC Zone to get blank DVDs and saw their special on a 1TB Segate Free Agent Desk External Drive. Cost me R1300.

Hope it works well with my PS3.

Just make sure you don't get Seagates 7200.11 series 1TB
ST31000336AS to ST31000340AS It seems to be a batch problem and fails after a whiles use.

I was one of the lucky few

Is that the serial# or the model#?
The model# on the enclosure does not tell you what the actual model# of the internal drives is...
