can someone post the highlights of the previous thread?

i'm sooooo newb in HDD...
so what is 7200.11 or i cant recall d exact??

7200.11 stands for Seagate's 11th Generation of their Barracuda HDD series

7200 refers to 7200rpm and 11th Generation is 250GB per platter. It has both 16MB and 32MB cache model. Correct me if I'm wrong.

thanks boss...
so compare to WD or Samsung, Seagate stills rock??
sorry for my noobness..

Frankly speaking, from my point of view, only 2 big HDD manufacturers now left dominating in the market where the others such as Quantum, Maxtor, etc. have been taken over by them. Samsung has pretty good reputation in the HDD market as well, but not as popular as Seagate and Western Digital do. The popularity which I mean known by every level of users but not only enthusiast.

We can't simply take complaints or RMA rate as reference for the company's performance. The reason there is a high rate because a lot of people using it. How will we know the failure rate from a manufacturer which less sell their product thus less people been using? Make sense, isn't? Furthermore, it is the nature of a human to complain rather than compliment on good stuffs. We hardly read up good feedback, simply because no one will bother if it is good and don't create any trouble

because i have data's inside it
once i "revive" the hdd, i'll buy a new one

yet again, anyone have new or 2nd hand TOSHIBA MK8032GAX HDD? (its a 2.5" 80Gb)
i just need the PCB.

any shop selling caviar black?

Nowadays... most ppl use Western Digital and Seagate. These two brands are the most popular at the moment.

Samsung and Hitachi are chasing up.

Maxtor and Quantum are dead.

so i'll buy another WD 640GB...
need a lot of space nowadays...
thanks for the info..

waiting for 1TB HDD to drop below RM400.

(Solid State Disk) SSD will consider? Forget the slow write speed nightmare.

im not afraid of writing speed... am afraid of loading speed in gaming...

i saw in czone pricelist & found 1TB wd caviar black, but I can't find any 640GB WD caviar black.

If you are talking about internal 3.5" version, i saw M-Tech was selling WD 1TB for only RM399.
