I bought for RM165 in May.

Better Sayang the hard disk.

if broken then have to find replacement then waste money.

i think can upgrade pc after 2 months more. now hdd price is damn high.

Yesterday I saw like 20+ plus WD green 2TB at Thunder match. Made in Thailand.

i'll have to spring clean my 13 HDD to find 1TB, crazy prices for 2TB

HK hdd price lagi gila

wtf

now how to build PC. i dont have a bf3 capable rig. but i already bought the game..

bought 1 2 weeks ago about rm185 at LYP

When ask, most said may out of stock due to Thailand flooding.

When ask how much now, and agreed on new price, no problem to get it.

this high price may done to force us to buy SSD..


my single cent

You could do the logical thing and reuse your current HDD.

yes. RM3xx can buy one 60GB SSD to use first until the price drop back after 3 months time.
I am thinking to do some promotion on SSD


get one 60GB and install OS + Driver + BF3 first. sure enough space to tahan for 3 months one haha

Whats the average temp for harddisk? I got 4 WD HDD (1 Black, 1 Blue and 2 Green). The black and blue temp are always 40-43 and green is 34-39. Izit ok ?

still still normally. normally i see below 45C is normal.

Sounds about right.

what kind of ssd is recommended for best value and decent performance?

Went to LYP last week...

1TB F3 is +100 off normal price...

They all have decent performance. Intel and Samsung SSDs have good reliability. SSDs using SandForce-controllers have a reliability issue at this time, but if you're lucky, you get to enjoy the best possible performance. On the other hand, SandForce has recently been bought out by another company, LSI, that has a focus on enterprise clients, so we can hope to expect reliability problems to be reduced to Intel levels in the future.

If you don't particularly care for any brand, going by cost/GB is an option. I think the OCZ Vertex 2 120GB (uses SandForce-controller) at Viewnet has the best cost/GB at this time at RM589, although you can get a Corsair Force 3 SATA 6.0Gbps 120GB for only RM50 more.

is this apply to WD & seagate too?

im wd user btw...thinking of adding another 1tb blue.

Now 1TB is RM280~ Almost RM100 increase! Kinda like day light robbery... but external HDD price still remain though (same or cheaper than internal)...

Then dismantle the external, sell off as internal, still can make extra profit...

I don't understand, how can external price remain the same, while internal one shoot up near RM100 per piece.

As most stocks available are still the old batch.

If internal price increase, so does external one.
They are using the same HDD.

Yes, I know current HDD price increase due to potential short supply, but external should follow suit as well.
How come external still remain roughly the same, while internal increase so much?
