Thanks!

Most are under RM300.

Thanks. With the current drop rate I will get it pretty soon. I just hope that the current slow but steady downward momentum stays. I can wait three months.

better add additional rm10 to get wd green (2yr warranty?), seagate shorten warranty to 1yr if not mistaken

wd green's problem slow detecting problem solved?

What slow detecting problem? I have a WD20EARX and a pair of WD10EADS and I don't have a problem with them.

regret buying wd green . shud buy black instead

I feel something fishy there......
There were once a period when the HDD failure rate hike up and few companies reduce the warranty period, around 2003 if no mistaken.

better upgrade your seagate 500GB to seagate 1TB. make sure it is single platter. major improvement on read/write speed since size increase with sector become small on the same platter size

bigger size run faster ?

then shud buy 4tb

It was around 2008-2009 and it was Seagate. The notorious firmware issue on certains models... there's a big thread about it somewhere in here.
Back then they were kings due to the 5 Year Warranty.

More sensitive to vibration and shock i must said.
As common sense, the more sensitive a machinery, the more fragile they are.

dun move around the cpu casing lor

is this the samsung technology used in the HD103SJ?

it is not because of "bigger size". it is because of the sector on a platter become more smaller. access time will become short. thats why it has improvement in r/w speed, i think.


i think so. when they acquire maxtor, we can see they make their drive less heat

But how about noise? My Seagate 160 last time got creaking sound everytime got activity. The only thing I like about the Seagate is the slim design

Thank you for your advice. What are the recommended brand for 2TB HDD nowadays since Samsung HDD division is acquired by Seagate?
Its been a long time since I keep up with the IT news, it used to be that Samsung was the brand to go when they had the 1TB back then.

Are 2.5 internal hdd for laptop expensive now?

My old compaq laptop hdd is failing I guess. Old C700 series hp laptop.

I'm in the same boat as you.
Currently I'm hoping Seagate will actually incorporate all the best of Samsung tech into their HDD but I have not yet got any firm confirmation on this.
Very scare to purchase from Seagate yet after their last fiasco.
