lol...like u say...they worry deir file juz gone like dat

Bah. I did a CHKDSK and...



Gotta ask for another replacement and I've just spent hours setting up and updating this

my library is virtual infinite boss...u know what i mean...

dats is my concern r...failure HDD is a big deal for me...
my work and manytng is inside....i google and found out most of ppls running RAID0 suffer the effect later...

can sumone defy this to encourage me to go for raid0...

lol to be honest i dono what mode im running now.. i forgot what i set for my sata HDD last time and if not mistaken is raid becoz i follow the mobo guide... =.= scare of any data lost

just bought a new external hard disk from lowyat yesterday, my book home 1T, but when i access to it, the exact amount of space is onli 930 gb, where the rest go to?

western digital green power drive purchase is not bad.. high performance + low power consumption.

r u sure high performance??
5400rpm aite??

If you check out the HDD, it is in FAT32 format instead of the normal NTFS. I got mine at 930GB as well instead of 1TB. I suggest if you do not need the software in the HDD, format it cause FAT32 does tend to feel slower than NTFS for me. However, do remember you will never get full 1TB. Something to do with relevant 1024bytes calculation which i never tend to remember

I'm getting myself a WD MyBook 1TB too. Online reviews show that the software included = crap and that the first thing you should do is format it to NTFS But if it shows 930GB that's quite a big loss. It should show 976GB

7200rpm.. check from the reviews from websites.. google search.

not totally high perf as it sacrifice the perf to save power...

i transfer everything to my external dy. And.... i start downloading lot of movie already, so if i wanna to transfer all my stuff from my external back to my computer again, there will be not enough space.... troublesome.... lol

Dudes... google up... put some effort in finding information...

For operating systems, it recognize 1 Kilobytes = 1,024 bytes; 1 Megabyte = 1,024 Kilobytes; 1 Gigabytes = 1,024 Megabytes.

For manufacturer, it recognize 1 Kilobytes = 1,000 bytes; 1 Megabyte = 1,000 Kilobytes; 1 Gigabytes = 1,000 Megabytes.

Thus manufacturer's 1 Terabytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes

while

in operating system become: 1,000,000,000,000 / (1,024 x 3) = 931GB

Make sense now? It has been explained over and over in this forum

P/S: Next don't ask why the manufacturer consume the 24 thingy, email their customer care if you curious enough.

Ah! I've always thought that although manufacturer's 1GB = 1000MB, the MB is of 1024*KB. Didn't know it's 1000 way down to B

Need some suggestion~

I look for HDD for performance ~ Gaming + DL movie

should i choose Seagate 7200.11 500GB which 225 or

add another 15 to get WD 640 Caviar SE16 which just 240??

for me, i will go with Seagate 7200.11 500GB
see the previous page, u will know why.
got some hard disk comparisons as reference.

i personally prefer seagate.. but if you want more space then go for WD... as for performance im not really sure about it..

i google some review about WD640AAKS

Seagate's 7200.11 should be better in performance.
