Hey guys, if I want to get a new hard disk now, considering WD Blue 1TB and Seagate 7200.12 1TB, which will be a better choice ?

Been heard about many bad comment regarding on Seagate drive, but do they actually improve after acquire Samsung ? And disappointing on Seagate 1year warranty too.

i use seagate ST3500418AS (single platter drive) and running 2 years 7 months and several days. when i says running, it spinning with that amount of time. never fail me at all. with proper handling, screw it properly inside casing and proper air flow (maintain temperature around 33-38c)

now i am using ST1000DM003, single platter but double size from previous drive

bottom line, people having bad luck does not mean that you will fall in the same situation too

I have been using seagates for some time too (before the 1 TB era) my last hdd was 500GB 2.5 inch (previously desktop versions of 3.5) and (touch wood) they have been serving me faithfully

Well thx for the replies.

Now the problem comes, which 1 should I buy ?

Another RM10 price drop for 3TB drives. Will it go below RM500 in the coming weeks?
Viewnet 28 April pricelist

Waiting the price at Sibu to drop. Just ask the shop 1TB WD10EARX Sata II still cost RM330 Better i buy from Viewnet and ask them to do poslaju.

I wonder how Pos Laju will handle the HDD with care.

If pack like the RMA. I don't think it will be problem. Of course the safety way is ask friend that often back to Sibu to bring home (if not urgent)

I definitely hopes so.

If Viewnet offers that Seagate 3TB at subRM500 I for one will surely purchased one!
Think it will open the floodgates!

whats a reliable and fast 2TB drive nowadays? minus WD Black...too expensive
If only there's a WD Blue 2 TB...

but wd black got 5yr wrty. while blue only 2yr wrty.

cannot lar..black so expensive
and blue only got 1TB

Hi all, hope this is the correct forum if not pls let me know.

WTA I currently running XP on c: drive and Win7 on e: drive. c: and e: are two different physical drive.

I want to remove c: from the computer. Is it okay I just enter Win7 and format c: drive? TQ

it looks to me the price of 1TB are still very high.

hopes of HDD falling back to 170 seems pretty damn hard.

cannot lah, bro, ur system loader all at c drive

Yup, better buy a 3TB drive instead of 1TB.

1TB x 3 = 3TB
RM279 x 3 = RM837

3TB single
RM519


Anyways, for those not in the know, read this before you grab a 3TB drive:

3TB/3 = RM173 seems about the right price.

But I would much prefer multiple drives for reliability if 1 of them fail = 1TB data gone, not 3TB

yup, that is my worry too
