anyone using WD GP? comments on it in terms of performance?

my maxtor sata 160gb give up just after 5 month..
send for warranty yesterday..
dont want any maxotr from now....

my Western digital 320gb ok for almost 1 year now...

my question is: can i get back my data if they just repair@refurbish it?

the simple answer is NO.

Can i confirm weather WD is currently giving 3 or 5 years warranty? I recall someone mentioned its now 5 years.
true or false?

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

black line and RE, RE2 series is 5 years, others is 3 years if I am not wrong,

my segate send to rma...used 1+ month oni....warranty damn late sumore

seems that many ppl having problems with their HDD these days..

what model? when you send? within 2 weeks shall return to your base

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!

seagate not good meh..i think WD better..

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?

dun think price dropping.....
1-2 months ago bought seagate 750gb for rm395..... price i think still same.

Maxtor is crap >_<

I had 2 Maxtors. Both died within warranty period. RMAed and a few weeks later, died again >_> Now sent to RMA and never come back yet

I have 3 WD hard disk. 120GB 200GB and a new one 500GB.. 120 survived for 4 years, 200GB about 2 years, and 500GB about a month with no issue.. green power summore.

well....i think so
got maxtor.just use as xternal as it give sound like sumthin 'crack' inside when explore d hdsk...

it took bout 5 month seagate 750gb drop from 800 to bout 400 now.wonder when 1tb can go below 500..

my newly bought seagate 500gb is faulty le..got sound..when format 80gb partition only also take few hours..then the sounds keeps on coming from the hdd how long does rma usually take?

i hate doing rmas for hard disk. i dont mind the 1 month period. but sometimes the item is back early but the shop doing the rma for wont call me. i end up with no com to play for more than 1 months plus plus. oh ya. can any1 tell me how much would a raptor cost? and how big is the capacity?tq

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.

ah ic.....guess i need a new HDD,

my 4yr old 36gb raptor jsut dont cut it no more.....

damnit them raptor prices never really dropped much....they come in 36/74/150ish gb.....not sure if they still have the 36gig ones....

74Gb raptor = rm460
150Gb raptor = rm630

get two 7200.11 series and raid 0 is faster, but dangerous and raid 0 recovery is particularly low

im using seagate sata 2,heheh...so far no prob
