Hi all can someone pls explain to me why my REAL hard disk capacity is less than the ADVERTISED hard disk capacity ? Example
Advertised capacity - 500Gb
Real Capacity - 465Gb

Do hope to hear answers from you sifu's !

because 1024 isn't 1000. you lose 7% due to this reason.

Guys ...is it just me or the prices of hard disc just keep increasing?
I bought a WD RED 4tb about 2 years back for rm590. Today, for the same model and capacity cost rm690. What the heck?!
I thought price should drop due to Moore's law and demandsupply factor.
Not increase.

RM weakened against USD

can I categories WD red and black as below ?

Red = Torrent only, what about gaming ?
Black = Torrent + Gaming ?

dun forget of due to GST wor

hi guys,

im looking for an 8tb external hdd. so i found that the cheapest available online is the TRANSCEND STOREJET 35T3 8TB which most sellers sell around 1k-1.1k at lelong.

however, not many of the 'famous' online sellers carry this model. they mostly have seagate and wd 8TB but cost much much more, around 1.5k.

all models have 3 years warranty. do you guys have any info why the Transcend is much cheaper? its internal drive most probably be from seagate or wd anyway, so why the big price difference eventhough they all carry same 3 years warranty?

Hi guys, I just bought a WD 2TB HDD about 3 months ago, and one day it just started to act erratically. Like, you know, almost any file transfer into or out of the drive starts nicely and just suddenly plummets to 0 bytes/sec.

Can anyone help? I've got a lot of photos in it.

Does anyone know where can we send Western Digital hard disk for warranty claim?

Green driver?

I used wd red for gaming. The reading speed is fine. Most of the time i will go with wd blue. I generally dont see the need for black. Rather spend the money on a decent size ssd.

Hi guys/gals, need advise on external storage with raid system for personal use. Looking at minimum 2TB per HDD. Any advise on which brand and model to get or wait. Thanks.

One of my internal HDD (6TB version) shows One or More SMART threshold exceeded.

How long does this HDD have before failure?

I am planning to backup the entire HDD to my external 6 TB HDD.

I think it is still under warranty. As such, I plan to claim warranty once it fails.

Any sifu out here mind share with me?

Currently my ext HDD. got sound which is "ticking sound".

1. Can I fix it?
2. Or I just buy a new unit?

3. Would the data inside it gone missing?

did you tried with other usb cable?

if other cable works means your current cable not able to supply enough power to your ext hdd.

if other cable also same...faster backup your data, it is going to die anytime.

Bro you serious? Don't scare me... Ill get it done immediately
