Hornetek selling at Sri computer RM129 and Viewnet RM119, cheaper than garage sales... but RM119 for enclosure only... fu....... just go ahead... looking to Samsung 1TB at Cycom RM194, last unit just sold... end up buy from Czone Rm200 spent another RM30 compare to ready external HDD, that money can eat 5 times McD lunch value... sigh... but overall the Hornetek seem more responsive compare to cheapo enclosure... bcos my cheapo enclosure + 500Gb (SATA) required 5 seconds to recognized by my laptop, but use same cheapo enclosure + 80Gb (PATA) required 1-2 seconds only... thought HDD size does matter... tried Hornetek + 1TB (SATA) thought will be slower, but surprise my laptop recognize it 1-2 seconds too...

Agree with what you're saying. Yea the Hornettek enclosure is a very good one, I have 2 of them and they're nice. Now I'm waiting for the Hornettek Viper U3 (USB 3.0) to come to Malaysia, should be here sometime in August or September. Get that and get that cheapo MSI USB 3.0 PCI-e card (RM49 lol) and woohoo... |

Hi guys,
Those who is thinking to buy an external harddisk can check out the WD booth at Times Square. I bought my 500GB Passport for only RM269. I was quite tempted to buy the 8TB NAS also... but I'm having some financial woes... so I have to forgo it. |

QUOTE(everling @ Jul 5 2010, 04:59 PM) Then we can assume your case is dark as it should be. Maybe only can see the HDD and power light. Anyway guys, what's the cheapest 2TB internal Hdd I could get these days? Maybe getting it at the end of the year for backup. This post has been edited by n3w: Jul 7 2010, 10:04 AM |

Cheapest 2TB internal hdd = Less than RM 500
2000 GB / RM 500 = 4.0 GB/RM, ratio more than 2.00, so kira murah lah tu RM 1 get 4 GB, if buy a thumbdrive 4GB? LOL Go for WD green This post has been edited by Pis: Jul 7 2010, 10:12 AM |

Hello all need some pointers b4 buying a new external drive for my media files connected to a media player.
1)Is Samsung reliable brand for hard drive? 2) If you have to pick between these two which one would you go for a) Samsung G3 3.5 External Hard Drive 1.5TB @ RM365.00 or b) Samsung Internal Drive 1.5TB @ RM265.00 + Enclosure or would you suggest any other solutions which amounting around RM400 or less Thanks in advance. 3) |

Dunno about other model but been using the F3 HD103SJ 1TB for 6 month already. It is cheaper, faster and runs cooler than WD Green. |

May be worthwhile to wait for the 2TB samsung then.
2TB section still too expensive for the time being. |
