400MYR/Seagate 750gb = 0.53..

332.8MYR?/Seagate 640gb = 0.52

260MYR/Seagate 500gb = 0.52

---------

285MYR/WD 640gb = 0.4453125 per gb

Of Course WD have Black line which is USD199 for 750gb

---------

Seems like Seagate will join SSD soon

i've been buying seagate all these years mainly bcos of the warranty.

Hey guys, noob question to entertain here,

is RAID a physical configuration as in I need to have 2 identical sized HDD's

or is there a possibility to have a single HDD partitioned in half to support either RAID 0 or 1.

thanks in advance fellas!
*
RAID no need identical sized HDD

Not possible to partitioned half to raid, but you can do 0+1 where you need 3 disk

Hard Disk still dropping? rclxub.gif

which shop you buy from, you may ask for 1week 1 to 1 exchange? or else you may direct RMA to Seagate (key in Seagate website first, print out the paper, and send to the location), estimate time 2 weeks to return to you.
