At the fastest, about 57 minutes to transfer 100 GB and 5 minutes to transfer 8 GB.

HD154UI is F2EG?That means HD153WI is F3EG ,

Don't be sad la. By the way, which shop has the F3?

i would like to ask, can Raid 0 works on both different hdd?
i currently using WD 1.5TB 64mb HDD.
can i buy other size of HDD do make it RAID 0 with my current HDD?
because of my budget, i wish i could buy a new 2 smaller hdd to make Raid0,
but i notice that smaller size HDD just run on 8MB cache..
confuse.. pls help me..
tqtq

what is your budget, and which 2 smaller hdd you aiming to Raid0?

It's recommended to choose both the same model for RAID purpose, and AFAIK WD Green is not good for RAID, as it'll reduce the life cycle of the read/write head sit.
If you really want speed from WD, get the Black Edition instead, but most of us here would surely recommend Samsung F3 1TB, get 2 or the 500GB version (not sure if it's F3 or F2) and RAID0 them, cheaper, and way faster.

I got another 2TB F3EG about 2 weeks ago.

May I know now the 2TB WD BLACK EDITION is using how many platters one ?

should 4.. 500gb/platter

Wow, 8tvt u're here oso @.@ Haha,i tot u oni interested wif SD Gundam thread

BTW, guys could u all recommend a realiable harddisc for 1TB and let me know on the price ??

Will the pc performance affected by multiple harddisc running ?? I have 3 HDD on the desktop and i find that my pc is running 100% of the processor usage at times. Thanks for the advice in advance

i'm everywhere..

reliability is the most FAQ - but the answer is donno..
depends on how we use it..

so far WD black and samsung F3 is ok for 1TB..

blackcsc, ur using what proc?

Don't think so. Maybe you have a lot processes running? Disable unwanted processes.

I have two hdd and one external plugged to the pc all the time.

8tvt : Mayb i update u when i get back home.. Haha, in office now, forgotten wat my spec @.@ Should b on AMD X2 n 4GB ram @.@

n3w : actually not much apps running, n it happened jz recently. Previously i'm on more apps but running w/o prob n the processor running about 60~80% oni.. But lately the processor will sudd jump up to 100% and caused the pc 2b laggy @.@ Mayb is the symptom of time 2change ??

time for quad core..

should try isolating the hdd.. maybe 1 of them got prob..
or sometimes need a new hdd cable..

quad core = wat model in amd ?? i oni kn quad core for intel @.@ haha,wat's for amd ?? I guess my hdd having prob as well. Sometime the HDD canot b detected by the system n i needa reboot the pc then oni can recognise the HDD.

Btw i'm using all sata cables. Is there a need to change a new sata cable ?

AMD X4..

u should try change the cable and re-fitting it or use different port..
if still cannot working.. maybe the hdd is faulty..

Oo, thanks for the info. BTW, do AMD have sumthing like i5 / i7 processors ? or AMD stick wif x4 / x6 n etc ??

Actually i did try to re-fitting it. but i used up all 4sata ports is stil the same sometimes. mayb i should jz backup the data and stop using 1 of the HDD

want u meant by i5/i7 proc? actually both also is quad core.. unless the highend super expensive i7

for amd
X4 = quad core
X6 hexa core

better backup before too late..

i mean for intel they have quad and hexa core oso rite ? but i5 and i7 is recent release ? (i = having 1extra virtual processor ?) ? So AMD oni have x4 and x6 la ??

Haha, mostly movies and series in the harddisc Yea, wil backup it

Lol. Don't need to change to quad core la. My Pentium D still handles 3 hard disks well.

Try troubleshoot the sata cable first. Plug out and replug/ purchase new sata cable. And download the hard disk troubleshoot tool from the manufacturer's website and run a full scan for bad sectors.
