very very few shops still sells Hitachi internal HDD.

why is dat bro? reliabilty issue? i saw jayacom & robyncom selling 2tb hitachi but not sure whether its d single platter 1.
anyw, i went for Seagate 3TB (single platter). downside, hv to settle wt seagate only 1yr warranty. bought mine yesterday @ viewnet. tought of getting 1tb 2.5" yesterday but only few shop hv stock for it & d 1 dat does, still selling those at hefty price tag (RM350 ~ 370) .

How much is the 3TB Seagate?

Hello guys, worthwhile to get Hybrid HDD like the Seagate Momentus XT? What sort of advantage do I get actually?

You get more storage and some speed that SSD offers. You won't get the best of both worlds, it won't have the capacity of a HDD and won't be as fast as a SSD. Personally I don't think it is worth it.

Thanks It's about RM300 for a 500GB Momentus XT. Just wondering whether it's worth it or not. RM270 can get 1TB HDD (normal one)

hi all sifu over here...i wanna ask...what is wrong with my hdd..

use the hddscan from www.hddscan.com, it is freeware.

Just bought a Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001 from PCDepot for RM360.
LOL they sell another package with exactly the same model ST2000DM001 but the outer packaging is sealed with Barracuda Green barcode and selling for RM365. Pening

Viewnet latest pricelist 1TB WD BLUE 3.5" = RM269. Cheapest 1TB is Seagate at RM259.

Another thing...
Seagate 3TB = RM 489
At CZONE it's RM 485.

Is there such thing as a dual HDD drive? I might want to place a fast HDD as my main and another slower external(which I will convert it) as my secondary drive?Sorry for the noob question

Hiyi bro, hows your seagate 3TB going?        

http://seagate.com/support/downloads/beyond-2tb/
Until recently, using a hard drive larger than about 2.1TB has been difficult from
a technical perspective. Back in the early 1980s when many of the fundamental
hardware and software designs for computers were created, no one could fathom
a hard drive approaching even 1TB, so limiting the logical block address (LBA)
range to 2.1TB was thought to be more than adequate. As a result, operating
systems, BIOS controllers, host interface drivers and device drivers have used th
same basic limitation of 2.1TB.

Newer versions of Windows (Windows Vista and Windows 7), when combined
with a new BIOS called UEFI and when configured correctly, have the native
capability of using hard drives larger than 2.1TB. The problem, however, is that
UEFI BIOS systems are less prevalent and more expensive than legacy PC
BIOS systems. Also, Windows XP systems still represent a sizable portion of
the installed base. So what do you do if you want to use one of the new
high-capacity hard drives coming to market that exceeds this 2.1TB limit?
Seagate has the answer.

Seagate has broken the 2.1TB barrier by developing a creative solution which
allows you to utilize all of your hard drive capacity over two or more partitions
when the drive is larger than 2.1TB. The new Seagate® Barracuda® XT 3TB hard
drive has been released, and it includes free access to our updated Seagate
DiscWizard™software. This newest version of the popular hard drive utility from
Seagate now includes functionality that allows you to easily configure a virtual
device driver to access all of your hard drive capacity.

The disks are working fine, just a lil bit unhappy about the fact that I bought them close to 2 weeks before another RM10 price drop. 

BTW, sharing this to those who don't know..
Seagate's updated DiscWizard software will allow support for their 3TB drives even on boards without UEFI and certain 32-bit OS.

Can they do this kind of things? exchange packaging? LYP shoplot are getting untrustable nowadays
