dude...i have 2 Hitachi hard disk failing within 1 month...the disk just KO just like that.... like my C:, it just hang...and after restart...cannot detect the hard disk at all liao...

i think Hitachi is the worst for me...cause all my life use HDD, never kena this kind of failure... my previous wan...Maxtor or Seagate or Quantum all also use until i sell off or send to dell for recycling also no problem also...

onboard-intel raid

haha.. better dont go for those brand like hitachi or samsung.. they are not specialist in making HDD if compare to seagate, maxtor and WD.. so its more reliable if you buy those specialist brand like seagate or WD..

WD 640GB is available now, RM320, hmmm

where can u buy that?

o.O ya where can you find?? i dont mean that there is no such price just that i want to know where to find this price?

not really, my fujitsu aged 10 years still working.

haha.. my post didnt mention about fujitsu and i didnt say that fujitsu is lousy.. fujitsu is not bad thats why toshiba laptop use fujitsu HDD.. and also fujitsu have shock sencer technology..

Anyone know where i can get Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB 32mb hd?
Really like the benchmark scores as per storagereview.com

Seagate and Western Digital my top choice

Wah Lau, 640GB? Nice. Should be the rare model like the 320GB. After sometime shops will stop taking that model.

yupz rare model.. but how is the performance?

Best is WD for me now. Had nightmare with Seagate recently, sweat

ALL IT hypermarket selling WD640GB with the price of RM340

about the performance head on to >>> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=17368500

why is it my seagate 320g hdd only got 297g recognised by xp, where is the 23g space go? what should i do to get them out?

My hard disk is a 80 Gb model, why do I only have 74Gb avaible?
Hard disk manufacturers consider one Kilobyte is equal to 1000 Bytes, one Megabyte is equal to 1000 Kilobytes and one Gigabyte is equal to 1000 Megabytes. This is, however, not true. The real values are one Kilobyte is equal to 1024 Bytes, one Megbyte is equal to 1024 Kilobytes (1048576 Bytes) and so on. So if you're has 80 000 000 000 Bytes, hard disk manufacturers say it is an 80 Gb Hard Disk where as it really has only 74.5 Gb.

For quick reference I have made a simple table:
20 Gb - 18.62 actual Gb
40 Gb - 37.25 actual Gb
60 Gb - 55.87 actual Gb
80 Gb - 74.5 actual Gb
100 Gb - 93.13 actual Gb
120 Gb - 111.75 actual Gb
160 Gb - 149.01 actual Gb

ps: its kinda hard to understand for newbie...anyone else can make it simple?
