oh forgot to tell..
i bought 1tb f3 for my friend and 2tb f3eg for myself..
last saturday.. where got no stock one..

around that price..
2tb average rm380.. i got rm370..

later got usb 3 then ok..

hub (viewnet) must nego kaw²

got two SAMSUNG SPINPOINT

F3 - 7200rpm
F3 (ecogreen) - 5400rpm just slower abit

so far no 2tb 7200rpm.. u can check @ first page for the model

mind to explain?

i not sure what u suggesting.. if let say considering the transfer rates..

1394a = 400mbps
USB 2.0 = 480mbps
NAS = 100mbps depends on network..

but still for more convenient usb 2.0 is ok for portable..
alot of system have usb 2.0.. easy to move around..
i would be happy if usb3 is everywhere..

yup it's rated that way.. though some might claimed usb 2.0 have overhead data involved and reducing the transfer rate..
but still the different not so obvious..

unless the device using 1394b which rated as 800mbps..
or.. if vnair mentioned about usb is the old usb then.. it's totally out of league.. 12mbps

if like that better search for firewire device..

HD754JJ -- F3

ur stated F1

2tb < rm400..

is it becoz of mobo sata port?

long time on dos.. or during windows setup..
or can go to Computer Management

performance wise F3 n wd black quite the same..
i want to see bigger platter..

sure or not that wd green has 7200rpm..

but now hdd price drop alot.. worth waiting.. until the current space fully consumed..

should 4.. 500gb/platter

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?

time for quad core..

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