QUOTE(ozak @ Sep 15 2010, 01:06 AM) WD have some problem with non raid HDD if use as raid HDD. My NAS forum have report many case about raid problem using WD non raid HDD. I avoid it and get the F3 2TB samsung for raid. I'm running 4x WD Green (500GB) in RAID5, for about 6 months I think. I put them in an external raid enclosure. No problems so far.

I haven't tried the new Caviar Black but I can assure you on one thing.
You'll need SSD to even come close to the theoretical speed of SATA 6Gb/s. With this in mind, using the SATAIII interface to promote a HDD is nothing more than a gimmick.

QUOTE(wkwong_2006 @ Dec 11 2010, 11:55 AM) hai, can pm me the best price for BUFFALO MINI STATION 500GB??? n oso the package included... Er this is not the trade section, you should ask the sellers in here: http://forum.lowyat.net/Memory&Drivesbtw for low margin items like hdds, you should stop asking for best price unless you're buying in bulk... you may also want to look at Viewnet's pricelist |

QUOTE(Jazzee @ Jan 1 2011, 09:23 PM) Any recommendations for a reliable external HDD around 1TB that doesn't require power adapter?More concern about reliability/durability and price:capacity than design/size/brand. By the way, if my laptop doesn't have USB 3.0 port, it won't support it right? You can try: My Passport Essential (2.5") 1TB USB3.0 = RM369 or Seagate GO FLEX (2.5") 1TB USB2.0= RM359 It's expensive alright, since you're looking for one that doesn't require power adapter. If you get a 3.5" version you'll get 2TB with that price, albeit with the power adapter.  If your laptop doesn't have USB3 support it will just run at USB2 speed. |

Price of the popular HD103SJ is now RM174 at Viewnet. I find this surprising because previously it was RM169 for quite a while. Demand is high I guess?
At Jayacom it is still RM168 though.

Price of HDD has gone up... I'm shocked. Today's pricelist - A Samsung HD103SJ is now RM212 or so at Viewnet.. can't remember exactly because I forgot to bring the pricelist (it was RM168-169 for quite a while) According to the staff the price will increase further in the coming weeks. He attributed the flood in Thailand as a factor to this..  |

HD103SJ is now RM259 at viewnet.. the old price RM169 will only get you a 500GB samsung.. |
