Anyone monitoring HDD prices lately?
I wonder if prices are going up due to ringgit weakening, despite WD having a big factory here in Kelana Jaya.....

QUOTE(BaronVonchesto @ May 4 2016, 11:09 AM) Had 2 of my WD red 4TBs fail on me within a week. Only about 2 years old but i lost the receipt Losing receipts is ok, u can check serial number on WD website to see warranty is still valid. any shops in lowyat selling 4TB HGST drives? They are supposed to be way more reliable. The HDDs just died like that? No bad sectors forming beforehand? |

QUOTE(n3w @ Jun 25 2016, 08:25 AM)  Should this be something I should worry about? Weeks back appear at my external 1 TB drive. But the count did not increase.  If reallocated sector count remains steady, no need to worry too much. But i would start monitoring it frequently. Sometimes these bad sectors spread like viruses.

QUOTE(z_c00l @ Sep 6 2016, 12:06 AM) Guys ...is it just me or the prices of hard disc just keep increasing? RM weakened against USDI bought a WD RED 4tb about 2 years back for rm590. Today, for the same model and capacity cost rm690. What the heck?! I thought price should drop due to Moore's law and demandsupply factor. Not increase. |
