wait new stock.. price will drop lagi

Hi guys, I've been wanting to get a new hard disk for a long time now but the rise in prices kept me waiting.
Is there anyone who knows if WD 2TB My Passport is available in KL or even in Ipoh and the prices?
I'm not very knowledgeable in hard disks so if you have any suggestions or comments, please do post.
The hard disk is mainly for storage, nothing heavy.

Mine, i think is far worse than urs


but the health status still OK.

mine failed...

Perhaps the old HD Tune 2.55 that you are using is bugged and doesn't correctly report if your drive is on the verge of total failure? You might want to check with some other utilities.

Also, please note that SMART is not a guaranteed signal for health. HDDs are known to fail even if they don't give off any SMART signals of failure. If we were to make an analogy, SMART is like the medical doctors from 100 years ago, who didn't quite understand how our bodies fail.

just bought a st2000dm001 for RM340, cheapo! Hoorays!!

got more space for my movies and anime!

which shop you bought it? mine was RM325

It's starting to get cheaper, 3TB got below RM500 for quite sometime already.

I at Kuching here, but cheapest among all hdd available here

Oh, Kuching... yeah, it's around that price right now, expecting drop again in another few months, probably drop to RM300 at December?

get it! YEAH!

WOW!RM300!!!IMPOSSIBLE!

Why Seagate keep giving faulty Replacement Hard Disc if you RMA. I already RMA that Hard Disc more than 2 times but still have error

Which HDD model you are having problems with and what is your problem?

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 and 7200.12 and Sv35

160GB and 500GB

Bad sector , sometime it make my whole computer hang , IO problem too

Seagate has been returning you different models and capacities for that one original HDD? If that is the case, it may simply be a case of really bad luck. If possible, you could try to see if you could escalate and demand that they certify that the HDD is sent to you in good working condition or something.

Or perhaps maybe your PSU is in a bad condition now, and has been damaging any HDD you plug into it? Or it could be a bad SATA wire? You may need to test with another desktop.

Same model and same capacity but different serial number. But is repaired not new one. How to complaint to them ?

Any good PSU ? I want to get one to try again. I already plug to another pc still the same problem.

PSU can cause bad sector ?

Thanks for the insight. Looks like all Western Digital HDD RMAs will be handled by Achieva...

You could check downloadable online price lists. Last time I've checked, its around RM690+...

All of them, or one particular model? By the way that SV35 is not meant for desktop/PC usage. You may get data "errors" (missed data) due to its design. Also for the other HDDs, there could other factors such as heat, vibration, bad PSU (e.g. unstable rails, high ripples, etc), bad connectors (e.g. loose, dust/dirt,oxidation, etc), etc...

Unstable power supply can cause motor damage. I have had a couple of HDD failures, but never had any since I changed my PSU to a good quality one - could be just luck or it could be the good PSU is good for my HDDs.

Any PSU with the 80+ certification should be good and there are a few sub-80+ PSUs that are also good. There are quite a bit of PSU reviews, but if you want a list of suggestions, you could try looking for an existing related topic or open a new one in the HW Q&A forum.

Do you mind give us your full PC specs? Includes every single thing, PSU, chassis that you use, etc.
And if possible age of each item, just roughly how many years.
Those information can helps us choose your PSU, and may help rectify other issue.
