1.5TB EcoGreen F3 --> HD153WI
mine will arrive today...looking forward to using it..

Same tech as the HD103SJ?


Actually I'm looking forward to some thing like the Spinpoint F3 1Tb but in 2TB flavor, any Sifu can recommend?

Also which external HDD have shock proof and capacity at or above 500GB? Brand and cost?

No at the moment, 1.5TB and 2TB currently only available in EG (Eco Green) model, and it's running at 5,400rpm.
If you want speed and capacity of 2TB, take Western Digital Carviar Black 2TB.

report in, my 1tb mybook wd green cavier external hd....Kong...after checking, found the external casing faulty....

take out the hd, use it inside my cpu....

this external HD i use it once a month for my backup purpose. last me 9mnth only mean 9 times with everage 2 hour only per mnth. big problem is, i lost the warranty receipt during my house moving....haizz

If it is WD, just submit RMA at WDC.COM , but be careful to assemble back the hard disk and case.

ok, here is it:

Western Digital Carviar Black 2TB? This one running hot or not? Wat's the best price for this WD Black 2TB currently?

I would rather buy 2 samsung F3 1TB for RAID-0 than buying WD Black 2TB

Well ... that was just me

RAID-0 is dangerous to begins with, it does offers almost double the burst speed though

yup very dangerous because its RAID-0 2TB, but considering the performance of f3 hdds would like to try .

If RAID-0 for much smaller harddisk is safer or put it this way, RAID 0+1. Mirror + striping

most hard disk consume less than 10W (including WD Black), so it doesn't run hot.

it think 10 watt for power rating. how about temperature?

normally in our country and environment, operating temperature could kill the HDD.

From WD website:



In my case, harddisk load can be around 45 degrees.

last time my harddisk temperature around 50c.
with cap ayam casing, no air flow one.

50c is high~~
mine avg 35c, hottest also 40c
