Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

SEAGATE Exos M internal HDD with 28 TB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and 512 MB cache. This 3.5" Serial ATA drive is designed for server and workstation environments, offering enterprise-class reliability with a 2,500,000 h MTBF and an Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate of less than 1 per 10^15 bits read. The drive supports 12 Gbit/s SATA interfaces and provides large-capacity, high-performance block storage for data centers, backup arrays and NAS systems.

Advantages

The drive combines very high capacity (28 TB) with a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB buffer to deliver sustained throughput for heavy workloads. Built for server/workstation use, it includes enterprise reliability metrics (2,500,000 h MTBF and UBER < 1 per 10^15) and a compact 3.5" Serial ATA form factor for straightforward integration into existing storage arrays and enclosures.

Suitable for

  • Data center bulk storage
  • Backup and archive arrays
  • High-capacity NAS systems
  • Enterprise servers and workstations requiring large block storage

Key specifications

  • Capacity: 28 TB (28000 GB)
  • Form factor: 3.5"
  • Interface: Serial ATA (SATA) 12 Gbit/s
  • Spindle speed: 7200 RPM
  • Cache: 512 MB
  • Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER): < 1 per 10^15 bits read
  • MTBF: 2,500,000 hours
  • Weight: 0.695 kg

How to use

Install the SEAGATE Exos M 28 TB into a compatible 3.5" drive bay or server chassis connected to a SATA controller that supports 12 Gbit/s. Configure the drive as a standalone volume, part of a RAID array, or within a NAS according to your storage architecture. Initialize and format the drive with the desired filesystem and perform regular firmware and driver updates through your server or storage management tools.

Recommendations

Use this drive in environments with adequate cooling and stable power. For critical data, deploy the drive within redundant arrays (RAID) or regularly scheduled backups to mitigate the impact of potential hardware failure despite enterprise reliability specifications.
