Guys, i'm looking out for an external HDD 500GB around RM200-250.Which model/brand is good?

My friend dropped his WD Elements and all his data went kapoot.WD boleh tak?

No he's not.Your teacher brings HDD to school?

Is that really good?I'm usually skeptical about "marketing claims" but Toshiba seems reliable.How about the likes of Seagate?

Saw this in ALL IT promotion brochure



Noticed the Seagate 1TB 3.5" for only RM249!!!! OMGGG should i grab it??

It says there "Expansion External Drive".Is this really an external HDD or just an expansion bay or something

I'm really considering a Transcend 25M 640GB 2.5" ext HDD Any compatibility problems with Windows 7 64-bit?

Anyway i heard damn many good reviews about this HDD, but how about its stability? I don't wanna end up with corrupted or missing files over a year or so

I though WD MyBook Essentials is good, but wait till i saw reviews over at Amazon O.O

What's with the virtual drive thingy?

So many terrible reviews...look at the number of 1 stars given? http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Esse...nDateDescending

I'm going to give this a skip... how about a nice Transcend 1TB 3.5" ext HDD?I know their 25M 2.5" is extremely good

I don't really get all these RAID thingy...however i'm currently looking at a nice Seagate GoFlex Desk 1TB 3.5" ext HDD. Reviews over at amazon seems good, it looks good also.. What do you think about it?

I'm currently looking at a nice Seagate GoFlex Desk 1TB. It's around RM230

RM239 @Viewnet

RM250 can pretty much give you quite some choices for 1TB

1TB or 2TB?That's only you can answer

1TB 3.5" Seagate Go Flex Home at only RM209. Damn tempting wei

Just asking, is it really necessary for one to get a HDD with backup software? For I know that the "backup software" eats up a lot of HDD space.. let's say 50-100GB?(afaik)

The SG GoFlex Desk 1TB 3.5" sells at RM209, whereas the 1.5TB FreeAgent is at RM259. The latter seems to be of better value, but I think it is somewhat "lacking" a "superior" backup system like the GoFlex, from the description I've seen..

I'm leaning more towards to the SG GoFlex Desk. What do you guys reckon?

I'm on the verge of getting a WD My book Essential 2TB 3.5" for my laptop.. Hopefully it doesn't give me issues. And also good reliability

p/s: Can I delete the software? Because I don't want it at all, and if I did can I install it back afterwards?

Ok I got the WD My Book Essentials 2TB 3.5" already.

Using only 2.0 speed, paired with my laptop. Problem is that I'm only getting like 12+mb per second on average when I was transfering 100GB of files to the HDD.
