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.

Seagate ST14000NM005J is an enterprise-class 3.5" internal hard disk drive with 14 TB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and a SAS interface. Designed for server and storage-array environments, it provides high-capacity block storage with an endurance target of 2,500,000 hours MTBF and a lightweight 0.65 kg chassis. The drive is intended for archival storage, databases and virtualised workloads that require sustained throughput and predictable performance.

Advantages

The drive combines high capacity with a 7200 RPM rotational speed and SAS connectivity to deliver consistent sequential and random performance for enterprise applications. Its rated MTBF indicates suitability for continuous operation in multi-drive systems. The 3.5" form factor and standard power/profile make it compatible with common server and storage enclosures. Weight and mechanical design support dense rack deployments where space and power efficiency are important.

Suitable for

  • High-capacity archival and cold storage
  • Database storage requiring large block pools
  • Virtualisation hosts and VM datastore expansion
  • Storage arrays and scale-out servers

Key specifications

  • Capacity: 14 TB
  • Form factor: 3.5 inch
  • Interface: SAS
  • Rotational speed: 7200 RPM
  • Reliability: 2,500,000 hours MTBF
  • Weight: 0.65 kg

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 3.5" bay or sled in a server or storage array that supports SAS drives. Ensure the host firmware and RAID/controller configuration support the drive capacity. After physical installation and connection of SAS cables, initialise and format the drive within the operating system or storage controller according to your storage layout (RAID, JBOD, or pooled volumes). Monitor SMART or vendor-supplied telemetry as part of routine maintenance to track drive health.

Recommendations

For best long-term operation, deploy the drive in systems with adequate cooling and stable power. Use enterprise-class RAID configurations or replication for data redundancy, and schedule regular backups for critical data. Follow vendor guidance for firmware updates and storage-controller compatibility checks.

“It is pretty safe to say that 2020 was indeed an odd and stressful year fill with so many unprecedented issues we doubt anyone could fault a company for pumping the breaks and waiting out the storm that is/was 2020.”
