A good fit for

This storage drive suits backups and extra capacity and moving large files between machines.

How to think about it

Storage is judged on interface, sustained speed and endurance rather than capacity alone. A drive that is fast in bursts is not the same as one that is fast under load. Against the other 482 storage drives we list, this one sits towards the upper end of the range at R6 732, with most falling between R319 and R11 565.

What to confirm

• If you are unsure whether this suits your setup, ask us before ordering rather than after.
• Compare this against the other options in the range before deciding, since the closest alternative is often a better fit.
• If this is replacing something you already own, check the two are actually compatible rather than assuming.
• Where a listing offers several configurations, the difference is usually memory or storage rather than the core hardware.
• Read the specification rather than the headline — the number in the title is rarely the one that decides the fit.
