For wat I experience is that 5400rpm has less problem than 7200rpm. Cause rpm simply means the number of times the disk spin using disk arms. Less spin means less problem happened. Few years ago i did try to compare btw 5400rpm and 7200rpm, it has a huge gap to be honest. But from the result it only has 1 sec diff which I feel is quite shocked.

I think someone has asked this question, roughly when will the F4 series out? Will the price like !@#!$#, lolz. Now F3 1Tb is so cheap I can even buy 3 HDD already

should compare with the same size..
ofcourse got slight different.. but not that bad like using usb or old hdd..
not notice much..

if want to make a main drive better take 7200rpm..

F4 Mainstream Capacities is only from 250 to 320GB
and
F4EG Mainstream Capacities from 1.5 TB to 2TB

so cant really compare in the same size

Added on October 6, 2010, 9:39 amI am in Perth at the moment and F4EG is on market now. Price for F4EG 2TB = $145 Aud = Rm435. Samsung F3 is selling on the price $79 (Rm237). So, I guess the price is not ^#^%$@. Not sure about F4 itself

quite expensive la.. thought over there can get cheaper..

I reckon Malaysia will be about RM40-Rm60 cheaper ...
Anyway thats not the point ... still considering F4eg or F3 to get .... Most likely go for F4EG

haha i think F4EG can beat ur caviar..

Faster release in the market then I can boost my capacity and performance speed. My WD is really slow :S

i thought already selling.. even F3EG also faster than those old 7200rpm hdd..

Lolz .. for sure ... thats the point to upgrade ... if cant beat my WD, why waste the money ?

F4EG is ALREADY ON THE MARKET, LYP.
Not every shop is selling yet due to the fact that theres still quite abit of F3EG drives left, but stocks for F4EG are a plenty.

You Jjust have to ask.

Haha.... I don't know it release mah. Thats y

Don't think garage sale section sell this product. I have wandered around but I can only see F3 ><

just say which shop got stock...

Practically most shops.
But the ones which puts out on sale is Robyncom, Viewnet, and Cycom.

The others, just ask... really.
They have it, but they aren't selling it until requested by customers because they still need to clear the F3EG stock first.

hi guys,

just got my replacement WD green 500gb before raya.
unfortunately, less than a month already shows simptom of dying.
detected in BIOS but not in windows, and sometimes if detected in windows, if i want to copy files from it, it just stop running. after that it doesn't show anymore in my computer.

what the hack?? RMA twice in a month???

p/s - salute to my 15GB Quantum Fireball, runs +-10years and just recently RIP.
