everling - Many thanks for an awesome & informative 1st post!

With the events that happens a few weeks ago to cyberlockers, I may not need to buy additional HHD space.
I also hope I'm not the only one, thus impacting the demand for HDD and driving the price down again!

wat say you guys?

5-bay X 3TB = 15TB?

How long are you prepare to wait? 6 months to 1 year?

Anybody can share their experience with Toshiba 3.5" internal HDD?
or should I get Seagate?
Any of Samsung HD103SJ tech appearing on Seagate?

High prices of HDD may drive many users back to Seagate.

Currently its prices are lower than WD.

I missing Sansung awesome HDD! Bestest cool performance and mostest value for money!

Now I looking for a bigger version of HD130SJ in 2TB 7200rpm version...any suggestion? anyone?

Thanks for the link!
Awesome info.
This drive is now called the Seagate ST2000DL004 as well as the Samsung HD204UI

Samsung's F4 EcoGreen is the first drive available to feature 667GB per platter. Samsung’s F4 Series EcoGreen Drive (F4EG) is the ideal high capacity drive for green computing environments. The new eco-friendly hard drive, F4EG is designed to meet demand for high performance devices with lower power consumption. Samsung’s EcoGreen F4 makes it possible to design storage systems with the right balance of high capacity, fast performance and energy conservation. Samsung F4EG has the world’s best areal density at 5400RPM rotation speeds. High density means more bits pass under the head faster, and it improves the drive performance. Samsung employs an advanced data recording technology, which brings the next generation technology into today’s single disk platform, enabling Samsung’s new 5400RPM drives to perform at current 7200RPM drive speeds. The internal SysMark test results confirms that F4EG performs as same as 7200RPM drive speeds, and even 10% faster than other green drives.

The good old days when HDD were superb and dirt cheap!

we all can dream.

Not too bad isn't it? Only at Viewnet!

This 3Tb Seagate is wat model number and 7200rpm? 64GB?

Thanks!
I also notice the 1TB is no more in the range of RM330!
Most are under RM300.

wd green's problem slow detecting problem solved?

is this the samsung technology used in the HD103SJ?

I'm in the same boat as you.
Currently I'm hoping Seagate will actually incorporate all the best of Samsung tech into their HDD but I have not yet got any firm confirmation on this.
Very scare to purchase from Seagate yet after their last fiasco.

I definitely hopes so.

If Viewnet offers that Seagate 3TB at subRM500 I for one will surely purchased one!
Think it will open the floodgates!

Yesterday I went to LYPlaza, several shop are now selling 3TB at RM499!

it is WD green. Did think to check the model or serial number.
Was actually looking for Seagate 3TB.
Seagate 3TB must look for wat serial number?
