Consider liao but my wallet can't afford to buy 5 of them!

So which maker has as high as 4TB and above hdd atm?

Hitachi and Seagate, not available in Malaysia yet I believe.

Is Western Digital VelociRaptor (the latest one) 1TB HDD is okay for normal use?

Ok but I'd rather get a SSD+HDD combo for that.

Prices of Hard Drives to Return to Pre-Flood Levels Only in 2014 - Analysts

It's the fastest HDD in the world right now.
Good drive but I'd still suggest you get a SSD + a 3TB Seagate HDD, it'll be a better investment.


Skeptical.
I myself anaylse we'll almost (perhaps about 20-30% from pre-flood level prices) reach those levels by the end of the year or Q1 2013.

I doubt so...read somewhere WD is being investigate for price fixing.

Hi anyone, i just bought the WD Essential 1TB at Viewnet. But the speed of transfer file is very too slow. Any idea? Here the attached file.

hope that you are not bought the fake one similar like this:

Does it happen when you copy a single file, like a 4GB movie for instance?

Yes, and i just bought it few days ago from viewnet and also around 2 hours something got one time click sound. But i used the CrystalInfo check the HDD health, all is good. Then should i need refer back to viewnet services because still under warranty?

Try one more thing. Run WD diagnostic tool.

Run the short test first, then the long test.
If if you get errors or such, time to RMA.

that suxs. if somewhere next year thailand flood again, the price would never went down

i think the HDD price will drop according timeframe perhaps, as little as one month RM10 i guess. So, 12 mth x 10 = 120 for a year

Now, is between RM480 for 3TB next year is RM360

Why you suggest me to get this combination?

My appologies, I wasn't sure if your intended usage is for gaming or not (since you're going for velociraptor, I assume it was).
As to why, the velociraptor's 1TB price is about RM900.

The 3TB seagate is only RM460.

Performance difference between the both is only noticeable, but not by much.
So for nearly less than half the price, why not get more storage?

OMFG!!! MY WD 2TB HDD can't be read by both my desktop and laptop cry: What should I do

Update: Ehhh weird. It can detect already

It's okay, I forgive you.

Well, I want this HDD because I want to balance between storage capacity and transfer speed

I know SSD is fast, but these are too expensive and the offered storages is not big as HDD does.

And now it's acting up again. Could it be because I don't really "eject/remove HDD" ?
