In common, what is the brand of N53sn hard disk?

I heard almost of this laptop are Seagate.. Is that true?


Also , what about the RAM brand?

Sorry guys, need to ask more before buy one... biggrin.gif

Ask mommy courier to u, cheaper...

if u dun mind taking the risk, u can purchase the screen online and replace urself. dozens of youtube video showing how to replace your screen. but remember to survey on custom duty charge

Its already in NTFS. just now we tried moving about 100GB of games. mostly around 8GB each in one folder. The speed we get is just 60MBps or around 480Mbps. Is this normal? is it because the limitation of my internal hardisk?

My neighbour just come back and show off his 2TB external. DAMN! why on earth every1 around me is buying USB 3.0 device?!
Btw, managed to download the 'crystaldiskmark' but the portable apps version. Here is a test result from crystal:

i somehow get the feeling my keyboard keys are sinking inwards...
those i always use like wasd, c, v, x, crtl, shift, j is like lower than usual.

if u are all complaining the speeds of usb 3.0, change ur main HDD.. to SSD..
the label 10x faster than 2.0 may be achieved by faster access speed by ur main HDD. wished asus gave us ssd..(flame me if u wan but i hate my crap 2.0 38 mbps..)
even better dun complain about 3.0.., tech still new, we even hav special drivers installed to use it.. (check ur installed controllers) and is not really stable..
not happy, get the tunderbolt port in new macbooks.. then flame jobs if speeds not acheived.. (things are built for speed but realworld, hardware degradation, conditions takes part-speed stated never has been 100% achieved when u transfer<like how 1 person above state the bottleneck problem drinking 100 cups than 10 cups of equal amount of water.) we all were coned into 3.0..

I guess the just now 60MB/s speed is not with this new exHDD? What's the speed now ?

Why you consider it as slow ? What's your expectation for the benchmark ?
