i checked few supplier but all of them no stock

WD Black 4TB for Media or WD Red 4TB for Media Price almost 100 bucks difference so which one should I buy?

at such premium price i dun mind to pay extra rm100 for additional 2yr wty + better spd/reliability

yea thanks for the reply!

isit really worth the value for WD black compare with WD blue ... use for installing softwares and games ...

WD Blue is a plain vanilla HDD with max 1TB, idle power 6W and 2 yrs warranty while WD Black comes with some build-in vibration controls, max 4TB, increased transfer rate, idle power 8W and 5 yrs warranty.

If got extra dough, Black is a good choice. Just have to watch the temperature in your chassis if you put in one of this baby.

hey guys, what would be a good internal HDD for storage purposes only? need it as a data / download storage. I do access my working files on it as well (eg, ACAD, Photoshop, 3dmax, etc .. )

Cheers

Seeing as you already got a SSD.
You could get a WD Black or a hybrid drive from Seagate or WD

how bout the WD's RED range?

cant seem to find availability for the 2.5" ones tho ..

WD Red does come in 2.5" form - http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?...1311&language=1
Not sure if there's demand for it here though. You could try to order from Newegg or Amazon. But seriously, it will be a waste of good money if you don't use it for NAS since it is tuned for NAS. For a single-slot 2.5" HDD, go for WB Black or Black2 instead that comes with 5 years warranty.

Hey guys,
this external HDD Seagate expansion 1TB at RM198 with 3 years limited warranty - is it a very good buy?

I see .. well i need something off low heat as im on SFF, Black runs a bit hot yeah?

is black2 already available in Malaysia?

Why not try WD AV Green that comes with 3 years warranty? IMO is the best value WD HDD for 3.5" single slot storage.

If running SFF then you should really take care of the internal temperature. Upgrade to a higher CFM quiet fan can help bring down the temp.

Should be coming in very soon. Retail price for model WD1001X06XDTL (120 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD) is reportedly RM 1,088. A lot of people are waiting to get their hands on this baby especially after SG Momentus XT is doing so well here (should read as always out of stock).

wow, guess I wont be getting it then. Am just frustrated with the speed of my laptop HDD after being spoiled by the speed of my 335 on my PC. Maybe I'll just get a 240Gb SSD since all my stuff are on my NAS anyway nowadays. Just need a good wifi card, like the intel AC-7260.

Just wait for it to come in. My guess is that WD distis will try to match WG Momentus XT's price (if not beat it).

just wondering how come some seller sells 2TB black with 5 yr warranty and some with 3 months OEM warranty?

whats the diff? are they refurbished or defect?

OEM are those batches that WDC made for other system builder or distributors such as Dell, HP, etc. that includes WDC hard disk with their system.
Those OEM hard disk come with cheaper price and of course you can't deal with WDC directly if there's any defect, you will need to refer to the system builders or distributors themselves for claiming warranty.
I'll prefer the retail version though, you can check if it's the retail unit or OEM unit by checking their warranty status on the spot if you have a smart phone with you (provided you can online).
