Because Samsung wasn't making enough profits from its HDD division so it decided to pull out of the market. tongue.gif

I guess ppl were thinking "samsung? since when they make hard disk? better get WD/Seagate" -___-!
Actually even I would have got a caviar blue last year if I didnt look thru benchmarks and also this LYN thread where everyone was recommending the legendary HD103SJ tongue.gif

IMHO the price is reasonable, better than buying 1TB.

Latest update (viewnet):
Seagate 3TB RM439
WD Green 3TB RM444

Was so happy when I saw this but got put off when I read the 5900rpm part :/ but if it sells for below 600 here would be great.

Should be coming in very soon. Retail price for model WD1001X06XDTL (120 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD) is reportedly RM 1,088. A lot of people are waiting to get their hands on this baby especially after SG Momentus XT is doing so well here (should read as always out of stock).

wow, guess I wont be getting it then. Am just frustrated with the speed of my laptop HDD after being spoiled by the speed of my 335 on my PC. Maybe I'll just get a 240Gb SSD since all my stuff are on my NAS anyway nowadays. Just need a good wifi card, like the intel AC-7260.
