Hi guys, I have a couple of hard drives for sale which I no longer use. Before I sell them on Carbonite (my new favourite website) I will first offer them to GRRR.

1. A number of 1.5TB hard drives, all of them are outside their warranty, most of them is still working, some of them have some minor SMART errors on them. Will run a smart-scan on them before releasing them to you. Any that I found not working will be stripped for magnets by myself. Dirt cheap at R600 a pop. Let me know.

2. I then have 8 x 148GB SAS Cheetah, 15,000 RPM drives, 2.5" they are a lot faster than say for instance Velociraptors (which only spins at 10,000RPMs). These drives new will set you back a good R2000 a pop (they are 15,000rpm, not 10,000). Happy to let them go at R900 each. However, note that you will need SAS controllers etc to use them. (these are serious server drives but a bit noisy to run in my gaming rig)

I'll give it a couple of days, then I am posting this on carbonite.

R600 for a 1.5TB drive? I am assuming SATA? If so I think I could take it off your hands. I need some movie and series storage space

Paul, reserved one for you. Thanks Jarrod, I am trying to get enough funds for a GPU update... so this helps!

So, question, who is going up to JHB soon?

Skoup PM me your Bank details, you can just courier it to me, I will pay unless it is ridiculously expensive.

Unless you want to drop it off at my sister, she lives in Cape Town CBD and comes up here every now and then

What do you mean "going to", I already arranged a date, time and place with your sister.

(ok, and that' just came out totally wrong!)

Thanks Paul. The way that i view my bank account is rather the "aah R600 less poorer...."
