Seem I can't good deal in Lazada/11street, looking for 3TB Hard Disk..
These are the offers I found in LYN.

ST3000DM001 Barracuda 3TB, 3.5" (SATA / 7200 RPM / 64MB) RM370
ST3000VX000 SV35 3.0TB, 3.5" (SATA / 7200 RPM / 64MB) RM415
WD 30 EZRX WD 3TB, rpm intellipower, 64MB, SATA 6 Gb/s RM360
ST3000DM001 Barracuda 3TB, 3.5" (SATA / 7200 RPM / 64MB) 2 Years RM 392

Had 2 of my WD red 4TBs fail on me within a week. Only about 2 years old but i lost the receipt

any shops in lowyat selling 4TB HGST drives? They are supposed to be way more reliable.

Seagate is about RM50 cheaper than WD, but im scared that they may not be reliable. Have 2 2TB seagates in my server still running well but the internet is full of people saying that seagate sucks.

Losing receipts is ok, u can check serial number on WD website to see warranty is still valid.

The HDDs just died like that? No bad sectors forming beforehand?

wondering if anyone know if the my book duo, can swap out and put a bigger WD blue hdd inside?

As far as I can tell. One HDD failed (cant detect at BIOS), and a week later the 2nd one failed SMART Error 0. Not sure whats going on. Could be a bad batch since they're a matched pair.

The come from a WD My Book duo. I extracted them and put them into my home server. Unfortunately since its usualyl remote access and the HDD smart errors are only reported at bootup, I only realised the first HDD was down sometime later. So don't know the gap between the 2 HDD failures, could have been more than a week.

Can, follow the steps here

Managed to purchase a 4TB WD Blue (WD40EZRZ) for RM506.90 (shipping inclusive) today at 11street!
About RM126.xx per TB, sweet deal eh?

Original price RM559.90 + RM7 shipping

Gotta love those coupons.

If the data is important, make sure regular backups
If reallocated sector count remains steady, no need to worry too much. But i would start monitoring it frequently. Sometimes these bad sectors spread like viruses.

Time to maybe search for a new harddisk then for backup.

Lost touch with the hard disk prices already, how about a 1TB internal price and external 1 TB?

I was quoted RM285 for 1tb internal laptop HDD (WD HGST 7200rpm), 1 year warranty.

Is this price ok?

Hi all, I need a 4TB harddisk for backing up purpose. I need reliability more than performance, which harddisk would you guys recommend? Thank you.

Where can I buy Hitachi HDD for NAS?

Dear all,

Looking for a HDD hard disk, someone quoted rm250 for 500gb together with the installation. Reasonable pricing?

Thanks

10TB in malaysia when? Just wanna drool at it and hopefully make the smaller capacity drives price drop. "price drop"

No.
Do you know the market price for hard disk?

I saw jayacom selling for RM 190 for 500gb and that exclude labour cost for installing the hard disk? I have not call to clarify with them.

One additional q, is it important bout which brand of hard disk? I am still doing my own research to understand how to pick which hard disk.

Thanks

Kinda curious, how much do they charge to install a hdd to your pc?
Or is it a laptop?
