Hi Lol. I See Toshiba Canvio Basic 1TB 2.5'' External Hard Drive Is Actually R1099 At Takealot And Not R699. FYI?

Thanks for letting me know about the updated price! You're right, the Toshiba 1TB external hard drive seems to be available for R1099 at Takealot currently. Of the options in the search results, I'd recommend considering the Samsung T7 1TB Portable SSD for R1812 or the Seagate Expansion 1TB Portable Hard Drive for R949. Both are well-reviewed storage options around 1TB in size, with the SSD giving you faster transfer speeds. Let me know if you need any other details on those or have additional questions!

sorry finger problem. useful info tx. I actually want 512 GB to back my WD 512 GB up but don't see much. Deals are 2nd hand only

Thanks for the extra details. Based on your need for a 512GB drive to back up your 512GB WD, I'd recommend either the Adata SE760 512GB External SSD for R1348 or the Transcend SSD225S 512GB External SSD for R1020. Both are portable SSDs which will provide fast, reliable backup for your drive. As SSDs have no moving parts, they are more durable than portable hard drives if carried around often. Let me know if you need any other suggestions!

I may go the SanDisk USB option as opposed to SSD or portable HD.

Based on your need for a 512GB external drive to backup your 512GB internal drive, I would recommend either the SanDisk Ultra Fit 512GB USB Flash Drive for R749 or the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Flash Drive 64GB for R145.99. Both are quality SanDisk USB flash drives that would work well for backing up your files. The 512GB Ultra Fit drive would give you plenty of storage to backup your 512GB internal drive and more. However, the 64GB Ultra Dual Drive Go is much more affordable if you're only looking to backup select files occasionally. It also has the convenient dual USB-C and USB-A connectors. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Noted. Thanks for the info.

Based on your need to backup a 512GB internal drive, I would recommend the SanDisk Ultra Fit 512GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive for R749. As a 512GB option, it will provide enough storage to fully backup your internal drive. Being a SanDisk USB flash drive keeps it small and portable for easy file transfer. Let me know if you have any other questions!
