@fariz..thanks a lot dude..

I have the same setup

the OS is originally in WD green, then I ghost it to the F3. now, WD is a storage drive

My Windows currently on my F3 drive as well.....satisfied
Saving for SSD now haha

Great thing I find about the Seagate DiscWizard is that it takes hell alot faster to clone your HDD than any other image cloning software.
And also, Seagate's DiscWizard is actually based (and powered) by Acronis... one of the best image cloning software around.

Can use the DiscWizard from Seagate to ghost it into F3 also? Need to reformat or anything?

I need to change drives for OS because it's too slow

yes. the software is not brand specific.

no need to format.

awesome!

WTF is wrong with WD???? Had to RMA another RMAed 1TB WD Green 64mb drive for bad sector...
Never had any issues with my Samsung/Buffalo and Hitachi drives for the last 2 years!

Can the imaging software work on two internal hard disk?
The demo shows from internal to usb.

what r yur guys opinion on the new Samsung 2.5" 640G notebooks HDDs?
Is it a reliable brand? Other than one forummer here who used his more than 2 years, theres not anymore comments on Samsung on this thread. Feedback appreciated.

yes

Thank you for the confirmation.

I have been using external drive Imation Apollo which uses Samsung 500Gb internally and has had warranty replacement twice because of hardisk block errors over a period of 1 year.
And the failures comes without any warning or indications of impeding failures.
The latest warranty claim has been replaced with Imation Apollo II which uses a Japanese (either Toshiba or Hitachi) drive. I hope it does not fail again.
So although the current prices for Samsung disk are very tempting I still have a phobia about Samsung harddisk products.

All brands also got problem...it's just your luck...lucky for me...all my HDD are fine...even the legendary Seagate 7200.11 with the dodgy firmware....

just send my seagate sv35 hdd to warranty, all data lost

Is it safe to send the hard disk for warranty claim?

I mean, they will try to repair the hard disk and if they managed to repair the hard disk, they can retrieve all your data and probably sell them to the underworld.

If they don't repair the hard disk, how do they dispose it?
Do they destrop it and dispose or just throw them away?

If they go for recycle, those guys will try to slavage the hard disk and if they managed to recover the hard disk, they can retrieve all your data from the hard disk and probably sell them to the underworld.

I read that someone managed to recover a hard disk and found data from a bank with all the customers account information. Not sure this news is true or not. This is not what we want.

Big company normally will delete/format the HDD before send to warranty.

But nowaday what I see those big company do is they never try to repair the HDD if spoil. They just took the hammer, smach it to make sure the HDD cannot repair or recover.

Yeap.
But only the EcoGreen ones, the spinpoint series has now stabilized in prices and will stay that way for a few more weeks.

By end of August, you'll see 1.5TB at the RM220 range.
