QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 28 2010, 01:22 AM) 5400RPM drives. if transfering through USB it will bottleneck by how much? i got 1.5TB Ecogreen F2 but i see the max read/write transfer is only around 25Mb/secYou're only using for storage, so it doesn't matter. More over you're transfering over USB, doesn't matter even more.  |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 29 2010, 07:52 PM) USB 2.0 itself is already a bottleneck lol. ah thanks for the info. i was very close to buying 1TB F3. now i realize my laptop cant even fully benefit the 7200rpm advantage.The max you can get out of USB2 is 30-35 mbps. On average, most "green" HDDs runs up to 90mbps. So yes... regardless of what you do, theres going to the be limitation of the USB there. Otherwise, get an external enclosure with USB 3.0 (which you will then need a USB 3.0 expansion card unless you already have one), or use eSATA. |

QUOTE(StereophileDream @ Aug 23 2010, 12:17 AM) Hello,which capacity HDD is worth buying now?Is that rational to buy a 1TB than a 1.5TB HDD fill it up and wait for the HDD price to drop further before purchasing a bigger capacity HDD? just buy 1.5TB now. Its running scarce in lowyat now. Last months its RM270+, now its RM230. Im sure they will stop production soon. What is the price for 1TB and 1.5TB HDD now,cz the price list doesn't update for sometimes. QUOTE(rifasha @ Aug 23 2010, 03:43 PM) interedted to buy 2TB hdd external. how much is the current market price? my friend just bought 2TB Seagate 3.5" FreeAgent Desk at lowyat yesterday. The cheapest we can find is RM430. Try go at Viewnet, you can nego the price coz they have price margin. But, if you want cheaper there is Seagate Expansion and Hitachi ones. |

QUOTE(StereophileDream @ Aug 23 2010, 10:54 PM) I think the price for 1.5TB back in July is around RM280 for Samsung F2.How is the price for 1TB and 1.5TB for those HDD manufacture,the price list seem like outdated. i didnt notice F2 1TB how much. i think around RM190. but for F2 1.5TB im sure its RM230. Try survey at either C-zone or Viewnet. Last month ive bought F2 HD154UI for RM279 at Czone. QUOTE(rifasha @ Aug 24 2010, 12:24 AM) i see. is it just hdd or with the external package? im looking for external hdd sinnce its packed with 3 hdd in my rig now~ its a 3.5" external hdd. better get it now coz its cheap. plus its got 5 years warranty!  |

QUOTE(rifasha @ Aug 24 2010, 10:02 AM) alrite~i like that one. got in black color? gotta buy it when i got my pay this friday~! you go whole world also only got this color. its silverish-white body with white illuminating led. if want black color go buy Seagate Expansion only RM420 i think. but i dont recommend coz many reviews said its prone to failure. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Hitachi also is black color but its a newcomer in external HDD, so not much known about its reliability. But its cheap, im not sure if its still around in Lowyat. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Theres also Buffalo. If im not mistaken its RM400 only at All IT. But the design is a bit ugly for my preference. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « IMHO, overall Freeagent Desk wins coz got 5 years warranty.

QUOTE(rifasha @ Aug 24 2010, 01:13 PM) since my entire workspace is black thats y i opted to choose black. that buffalo is good or not? i kinda like it.seems like out taste is different.hehe I dunno about Buffalo but its a popular brand for 2.5" external. From the picture, the casing looked glossy but when i saw the display set last time its not. Also i forgot there is also WD Mybook Essential, it looks classy, although abit pricey. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

HD203WI is actually an F2 because of the 5400rpm. but Samsung simply named it as F3.
