Wow, external hdd prices went again dis week. WD My book essential 2tb usb3 last week - rm429 now rm499!!

I survey in lowyat all ext hdd wit 2tb usb3.0 only the brand Buffalo Drivestation 2tb usb3 is below rm400 (399 )
Is Buffalo reliable? And does anyone know the hdd inside is from which manufacturer??

I actually waited 2 weeks liao, cant wait anymore coz relly need to use it. Will go down lowyat in the evening to survey again and if anything will jst straight get the Buffalo Drivestation. Scare later next week prices again go up then lagi

Finally bought myself the Buffalo Drivestation 2tb usb3 ext hdd yesterday after all the surveying prices in lowyat plaza.
But i wanna ask -
Can it affect my boot up time?. Yesterday when i plug it in i notice boot up time takes longer. I havent install anything in the drive .
Its running in usb3.0 so shouldnt it b faster?. ALL this time I have another ext hdd plug in as well - 2.5' 320gb usb2.0, but dis drives never affect my boot up time.

Yeah im doing dis method currently.
So it means it normal isist?..But my other ext hdd didnt really affect my boot up time mayb bcoz its smaller in capacity?
Or maybe there is some setting to configure in windows coz actually dis is my first time using 2tb drive and also usb3.0....
