There's also a 2TB Green Enterprise version that performs better, if not on par with the black. Sustained transfer rate is about 110MB I think. Anyways, some posts back I asked about Datatale 4-Bay quad interface RAID enclosure because I was thinking of getting one but there's not a single proper review on the product. The brand is relatively unknown so I was a bit skeptical. I eventually bought it by impulse since the price is so attractive for a 4-bay quad interface raid enclosure.  So I put two WD 640GB Blue (both are about a year old) and ran it on RAID0. Here's the result: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I've no regrets.  Don't have any other disks to test it with at the moment though. |

Seems normal to me. But then again I don't trust HDTach. HDTune is more accurate.

Just wanna share my pleasant experience with WD. I sent my WD MyBook 1TB for RMA last week (only the unit and power cable), and today I receive a 2TB version complete with the standard accessories (usb, firewire). Is the 1TB version no longer in production? |

QUOTE(enriquelee @ Mar 9 2010, 08:35 AM) That is whole point. Getting an empty hdd is not most of us want. Right? I didn't care because I already made a backup before the MyBook died. Btw, normally they would replace your disk with a higher capacity version only if the original one is no longer in production. Which brings me to earlier question... is the 1TB no longer in production, if anyone knows? On the commercial invoice it says: CODE WDH1CS20000N Hard Disk Drive 1 Units Made in Thailand Unit Price: 130.0000 Checked on WD's website and this is not a MyBook, just the hard disk alone. |

QUOTE(zorbyss. @ Mar 10 2010, 05:12 PM) Hi there. I'm new to these HDD stuff. Currently plan to buy a external harddisk. I'm using it to store music, video and movies to conserve my laptop's space, it's also act as a file backup. I hope to get one with 500GB and above, any suggestion? Those brands, types, special functions like anti-shock, what's the differences? Thanks in advance. Transcend 2"5 500GB, anti-shock. RM299 at viewnet. Like the name suggest anti-shock basically means the disk is less likely to be damaged if you drop it. |

QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Jun 11 2010, 02:20 AM) I always saw Western Digital HDD got RMAed instead of Seagate and Samsung. I think Samsung having high RMA rates can be voided here. LUCK is indeed play in every hardware now a day. It's more like each brand(except cap ayam) have about the same quality already, unlike the older days that some brands are lousy. Actually.. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...en&hl=&ie=UTF-8QUOTE The DiamondMax 22 7200.11 and continue on this period to seal the results of Seagate and Maxtor because of firmware bug time.

QUOTE(kikikukiki @ Jun 22 2010, 04:44 PM) bought a 1TB WD Green HDD and had to RMA for bad sector... took 16 days to get a replacement! That's quite long. I've RMA-ed two WD disks so far and both took about 1 week or thereabouts. I did it online though, via their website. Paid about RM30 via CC for express delivery. Quite convenient. |
