I sent RMA for my WD scorpio blue 500gb. after 1 month, they give me 750gb.

Something similar happened to my 1TB Mybook Essential last time. They gave me a 2TB version.
RMA via WD's courier service.

dear all,

currently planning to buy a external harddisk. which brand and which size should i go for?

requirement : 2TB , price around 400++.

good looking and extra features will be a bonus

anyone pls advise on this?

did you mean "external" or "portable"?

if external, you can see this: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/914...rnal_hard_drive

review said it is the fastest. features that need to be looking at such as spinning speed, how many platter it has and its size, which port they use

for example, 7200rpm is fast compare to 5200rpm. USB 3.0 is fast compare to USB 2.0
if you can get E-SATA external/portable hdd, it is better than USB because you will get the exact speed of normal internal drive, but it will need seperate power supply. unless you have hdd dock like -> THIS which can be place at your cd/dvdrom bay.

Only 3.5" external HDDs offer 2TB for about RM400, and it has USB 3.0. You only have to choose either Seagate or WD.

hi all!
recently my hdd was full because of downloading . And was planning to get a new 3TB WD Green. But i saw everyone do not recommend it. Why?
Any setback? Or wait for something else? It seems like this day hdd can not last longer or the flood are destorying the product itself?

Anyone knows the model number for 3TB drives for Seagate and WD selling in lowyat.

I need to know how many platters inside those drives.

thats is the main problem im been thinking of
either 2.5"or 3.5"
but seem like within my budget only can get 3.5" 2tb, so now considering which brand more reliable..
