yah i know last year 1tb also can get 2xx too
any news
when Thailand flood finish no more floods like that
i want hdd price cheap normail so when Thailand good factory fixed
restore factory thailand fixed 100% so when
i am still waiting still no news

please,last year 1Terabyte is RM169/RM179
from Western Digital until Samsung F3 5-pin point

wait until next year lah everyone should give up hoping for pre flood prices this year. HDD manufacturers are stirll struggling to clear backlogs

I already forget the software name
but here is a thing

A laptop hdd,
it can't be read and asked to be reformated but still fail to do so even using cmd

is there any hope for this?

use ur hdd vendor utility to check the health of the hdd first...then prepare for RMA together with the failure code the program generated.

Hohoho,
i can't even access the hdd
kakakaka
laptop is running on spare 60GB hdd now
and 160GB is on my enclosure to be scanned but with what i do not know

try GetDataBack for NTFS

I used it before (more than 10 yrs back) can help to detect lost Masterbootsector

i doubt hdd is going back to previous price at anytime soon as demand > supply at the moment

i was told that even notebook manufacturers need to bid for oem hdd (in blocks)

yeah it will come down cuz both seagate and wd will be mad churning hdd like crazy to get the margin while it is up
the price reset they are hoping from the flood won't happen
blu-ray player can already play divx. blu-ray writer getting faster and cheaper as well.
ssd getting cheaper...

I just realized something after staring at the pricelist.
The price of buying a 3TB Seagate drive is comparable to the price of buying 1TB x 3 during the pre-Thai Flood days.


1TB Samsung (HD103SJ) = RM169 (pre flood price, lowest was RM168 IIRC, but it was mostly RM169)

RM169 x 3 = RM507

3TB Seagate = RM539 (current price)
RM32 difference.

Not too bad isn't it?
To make it even sweeter, if you have a Maybank2Card AMEX, swipe during the weekend at Viewnet to get a 5% cashback. (If you haven't reached the RM50 cashback cap that is)
5% off RM539 = RM26.95

After cashback, the 3TB becomes RM512.05


The above is exactly what I'm gonna do. I specifically mentioned Viewnet since they don't charge anything extra for CC usage and they're one of the few shops that accept AMEX.

the price comparable if u take 1Tb x 3 unit ( before thai flood price)= 1 3Tb x unit (current market price)...to be fair the price quite high if compare to before thai flood price 2Tb which is RM 250 for samsung drive

I don't recall the Samsung 2TB drive being RM250.. the lowest that I can remember was RM280 at viewnet.

See this old post:



RM250 gets you the 1.5TB version then..
