Currently which brand of hard drive is better, performance and reliability wise. Seagate/Hitachi/ WD? Reading around i'm impress with seagate 2tb performance but then i notice they only provide 1 year warranty. Any advice?

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 14 2012, 02:20 AM) All manufacturers switched to 1 year warranty after the flood for mainstream OEM HDDs, so no surprises there. Thanks will keep that in mind. Currently the price vs space is favoring the 2tb from what i see. The 3tb have around the same price vs space ratio as 2tb but the lack of longer warranty is putting me off getting a 3tb drive. Personally, I like the Seagate 3TB (ST3000DM001). The price-performance factor for this drive is decent especially when WD's 3TB HDD is still the terribly slow Caviar Green and it is being sold for the same price. If you can't spend RM480 on a HDD then the Seagate 1TB (ST1000DM003) is one of the best 1TB drives out on the market now as it is mostly a rebadging of the popular Samsung F3.  |

QUOTE(solsekuin44 @ Jun 14 2012, 11:38 PM) Any recommended seller? Either that or you can buy your own casing and put in your own 2.5 hdd. I prefer the later. Btw thanks guys for all the advice and feedback, settled for a crucial m4 128gb ssd and a 1 tb seagate hdd. CheersWhat brand should I look for external harddisk? Buffalo ok or not? |
