OMG . Total of 5 HDDS, that was massive.
Guess those 1080p anime taking plenty of spaces.

So many HDD.

My P4 mobo can support up to TWO SATA HDD only.

lol, we've been going HDD frenzy recently. fylon, ur HDD capacities are more than mine, wow! i'm gonna get 1Tb x 2 external by year end. also have too much to store. now running on 160GB, 300GB, 320GB, 500GB, 1TB in my CM690. Externally have 250GB x 2.

waaa, so many storage device you got there... hosting the piratebay torrent files for malaysian branch perhaps?

Hahha.. See! Not just me.. Edmin also one of the HD freak! My soon to come 1T will going to be firewire based external. Cos my HDD rack in CM690 is fully occupied already.

@edmin
The price just nice to grab.. 640GB only less then 250 now.. And i get the 500GB for 170 only.

price is indeed expensive at Kuching, it seems

500GB is only about RM 150 here at KL. 800GB is 200 and 1TB is 280

yeah, hdds are really really cheap nowadays.

@fylon, do you run your hdds in RAID?

@V12Kompressor
Haha! FYI that price is the lubang price in kch. Oh well.. Kch's kaki used with it already lo. IT stuffs ain't cheap when come to kch. But food is cheap!

@dlwl
Haha! Raid for storage ah? Way too much for me.. Actually were thinking to get about 74GB Raptor to RAID 0 my OS drive. But after several thought, is better to invest on storage rather speed. As currently i dont do much gaming. Can said is 0% for gaming but 100% of DL-ing and watching!

can buy sata extension right?

Suddenly fylon and edmin are there,they have been always the storage freak. The HDDs are now getting cheaper and cheaper,by next year i guess the TB series HDDs are going to be the domain in the market.

but according 2 some lowyat reseller recently, flash storage has risen price and will continue to rise price

this coz of memory chip price increase

true, but there's a cons in all these huge HDDs, when any of the terabytes HDD dies, imagine the data that goes along with it! it will be a nightmare!

lubang price somemore.
My price is before lubang price. Too bad, my lubang at SriComp doesn't carry 808GB HDD. So I am going Viewnet for it.

Got such thing one ah? Extend so can cucuk more HDD?

there's pci sata expansion card. i think you'll have maybe 2-4 ports on that card.

That's why RAID become more common on most of the modern motherboards. Just use RAID 1 to mirror the data.

Can extend,but the expensive card isn't coming cheap if i am not mistaken.

actually u storage guys should get rid of those hdds which have smaller capacity...and replace them all with at least 1tb hdds...min spec...

Haha! Bro.. Positive input u have there. But moving the data is the headache.. I believe Edmin can tell u about this! Imagine thousand Gigs or data to be move.. Its all about time consuming!

yes, and we don't buy HDDs one shot, we acquire them as needed. different time different sizes different prices. that's why u c mine and fylon's HDD varies in capacities.
