the price comparable if u take 1Tb x 3 unit ( before thai flood price)= 1 3Tb x unit (current market price)...to be fair the price quite high if compare to before thai flood price 2Tb which is RM 250 for samsung drive

any good review for wd red 3tb vs seagate 3tb?

thx for the info.. was thinking to get wd red but many said that in NAS they would perform.. if only for single home use better try seagate 3tb... but 3 years warranty scheme would buy me in...

for me ssd more reliable since no moving part which especially good when moving the storage.. as for HDD alway fear when moving it although not alot...HDD have been here long time already.. mature enuf .. although SSD is catching up.. but all of it this all electronic part whether SSD or HDD..never know when they will die.. warranty just temporary luck...hehe.. u say new win 8 make HDD more faster...stilll me smiling writing this using SSD coz not onli boot up fas ..alll is fast..easy example is try decompress 1gb winrar file using SSD and HDD...u can see big gap actually..

ya.. i decompress more than 1gb per day... let say boot time 10 sec.. still many app take time to load.. in hdd u cant multi task much using ur HDD.. let say unzip file while load app.. can but abit long time... Ramdisk is no permanent for solution to create caching wat u use the most.. if ram disk were good enuf nobody will buy SSD in the first place.. can get so many ram with cheap price now days.. stability issue depend on controller.. previously i used Sandforce famous BSOD issue.. yeah b4 they fix the issue i scare me lot.. then i put into lappy after RMA no issue for..then i buy Marvel controller which bit slow.. not noticeable unless u've use to Sandforce controller.. but then no issue till today...response time and speed which SSD suite me in...

is it bter? or it is other around? hehe.. im ex WD..me got the answer but it all up to your experience in using any brand HDD...

this price is normal for 2.5 Ext 1tb range..

1 x 1tb since require less space in casing less sata slot less power less heat in casing.. the con is if 1 platter got issue the whole HDD might be in trouble..vice versa 2 x 500gb

erm... it is not like that...WD have rework line in which our small minority HDD goes.. we are not large customer.. premium customer will have their own production line..normally with 00 number in HDD model number..they have lots( yes, lots) part for 1 model of HDD..as our HDD is less then 10% on daily production line..

yup.. no turning back once SSD.. just use HDD for data storage..

as far as i know for laptop 2.5..they have little variation.. come in between 10mm and 7mm thickness...normal mobile hdd 2.5 will suite your lappy..

The magnet sit not between the disc.. and they not effecting the disc data...the magnet does impress me bcoz they are relativity small but powerful interm of stick to metal but not that much to snap finger..

as wat i know there two type of magnet that either gonna effect or not.. for speaker mostly satellite speaker will have magnetic shield label shown that will not affect HDD or even monitor.. if u still have crt monitor try take magnet put on the glass screen u will see rainbow colour at the screen.. unless the magnet as such subwoofer which normally not magnetic shield then better put not near to PC casing...

what type of solenoid u think maybe in HDD? as far as i remember no solenoid were included in the manufacturing process..

ya..the most part i impress is like the magnet have side on which glued/soldered to the arm is no even stick to metal.. like no power.. but the other part like metal very much..have to find back where i put the part..

i don see any wrong here as my self using red wd just for single hhd data storage.. coz of the warranty that make me bought it..they are just built to suit enterprise/raid environment..as for normal usage i din feel any different than other HDD in my exp..

nop.. i have ssd as boot hdd... as far transfer compare to 1 tb green hdd this red much faster(3tb red nas wd).. and as wd green this wd red use less power than wd green when i open wd website spec chart.. ya.. this red hdd sleep like wd green oso.. but mush faster awake time..and less noisy when wake up.. the clicking sound is more quieter..

yup i did not use as boot drice .. i've use SSD.. there is no blue WD for 3Tb.. so most value for me is Red coz of longer warranty.. although green WD price is cheaper..I opt for red WD

even quoted in your link provided WD RED still a great single drive.

"We tested our batch of eight WD Red hard drives in varying configurations ranging from single drive to 2, 5 and 8-bay Synology NAS deployments. In terms of performance, the WD Red did very well not only as a single drive, but increased proportionally as we scaled up the testing in the Synology DiskStations. "

red come in 3.5 version...
