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.

Would be interesting to see how does the 2TB will be priced.

Maybe not even the same hard disk. If you kept track of the serial number, you can tell if they give you another hard disk as a replacement or fixed your hard disk. The last time I RMAed a hard disk, the serial number of the returned drive was different.

QUOTE(cucubud @ Jul 16 2010, 07:50 AM)
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.
*
Don't know about the particular news you read, but it is very possible. Undeleting files is easy, limited only by luck or if the file was securely deleted.

QUOTE(ozak @ Jul 16 2010, 09:22 AM)
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.

How do you know they do this? Publicised company policy, news, or working there?

Sure, as long as the filesystem on the hard disk is FAT32.

Same happened here. I kept track of my RMAed old 80gb WD hard disk. The one that came back is different looking at the serial no. At least no bad sectors, ah well. whistling.gif

even SV series can spoilt? I thought SV is much expensive and meant for DVR usage. Running 24/7

So far i have bought more than 10 units of SV35 from 500GB and 1TB, never fails for my customer.

Statistics does allow you to sell a thousand HDDs that lasts for five years each even if the average failure rate of that model in six months is 99%.

You can also do that with NTFS IF you have Paragon NTFS installed on your Mac.
If the disk is a macdisk, you can use MacDrive instead.
They're not freewares however...

ooh.. if you download HD movies, have huge multimedia programs like 3D Max, premier and stuff and have big games like wow, (uses about 17gigs of my Hard Disk space) SC2, etc, you'll find that it is easily used up.
