Buying external hard disk
-
I'm intending to buy an external hard disk. The promotion at challenger for member seem worth the money. $178 for 320GB of external hard disk, maxtor.
However, the IT fair is coming soon. Not sure if the price will be lower there. But the promotion at the challenger don't have a dateline, so I am uncertain when it will stop.
Should I buy at Challenger or wait for the IT fair? -
Tomorrow Digital Life will show you some of the prices of hardware at the IT Fair.
On Thursday (8 March), Straits Times and TODAY will also publish the prices of products at IT Fair.
Just wait for a few more days then decide.

Maybe not waiting for the last day. Sat would be nice. But I not sure if the price of the ext hard disk would be cheaper compared to the promotion challenger is having now.Originally posted by FireIce:such things can wait for the IT fair

Ranger is in some small section, Seagate and Maxtor merged together...
Seagate very easy to recognize... their external hard disk is round. Featured prominently. -
Technology is fast.Originally posted by whereismyrib:You mean don't buy in IT fair but buy in PC fair?
At the next IT Fair, the hard disk will cost lesser. More storage space probably... -
