Hi guys, i looking for external HDD...
comparing between WD Element & Buffalo Drive Station... which 1 recommended for heavy usage or performance bcos i planned to plug it to my media player... sense due to heat concerned, DS have the exhaust fan may good for HDD but as checked around seem that DS have the weird Start Up noise, worrying the mechanical damaging my movies...  or any brand recommended?

QUOTE(DarkNite @ Jul 5 2010, 07:12 AM) My opinion is to get a HDD docking station and buy the internal HDD, This way you can capitalize on the low prices of these bare bones HDD and able to buy a few more additional HDDs.  actually HDD enclosure + internal HDD wont different much with ready external HDD... RM80 + RM200 (1TB) = RM280, same as 1TB of ready external HDD i puzzled around lowyat almost 1hour+ when Sunday which type i prefer & think...   later i saw the hornetek enclosure used at Sri Computer with media player demo unit... damm sweet with blue LED with black case and matched with my black TV cabinet with blue lighting...  Hornetek selling at Sri computer RM129 and Viewnet RM119, cheaper than garage sales... but RM119 for enclosure only... fu....... just go ahead... looking to Samsung 1TB at Cycom RM194, last unit just sold... end up buy from Czone Rm200  spent another RM30 compare to ready external HDD, that money can eat 5 times McD lunch value... sigh... but overall the Hornetek seem more responsive compare to cheapo enclosure... bcos my cheapo enclosure + 500Gb (SATA) required 5 seconds to recognized by my laptop, but use same cheapo enclosure + 80Gb (PATA) required 1-2 seconds only... thought HDD size does matter... tried Hornetek + 1TB (SATA) thought will be slower, but surprise my laptop recognize it 1-2 seconds too...
