As for me I'll rather go for Seagate as they provide 5 years warranty.
FYI WD provide only 3 years warranty  icon_rolleyes.gif

Seagate no longer provides 5 years warranty... from 2009 onwards smile.gif

Well, i think its because their 1TB Black Caviar sales are really slow thats why they have not made a 1.5tb/2tb Black Caviar yet

Got myself a WD Green 640GB yesterday. RM220.. Sounds good for the capacity vs pricing ratio. Anyone using it? The green 640 is different with the black/blue 640GB right?

Can anyone say which HDD is reliable now since there's rumor that seagate screwed up in the big capacity series. Anyone can say more bout Hitachi's?
*
WD is the most reliable. Well don't depend on only 1 hdd if u backup stuff, thats why i have 2 external 1TB as backups for all my stuffs. Currently i have 5 hdds, 3 WD, 1 Seagate and 1 Maxtor. Don't know much about Hitachi hdds...smile.gif

3.5" WD 1TB 7200rpm 32MB = RM328 (HDD only)
or
WD Element 1TB = RM350
or
WD MyBook Essensial 1TB = RM370

....Need some tips.... can the Element or MyBook Essential case to be open easily?
*
Why do u want to open the Elements or Mybook casing? I think it would be quite hard to open it coz there's no screws in the casing. You would have to rip out the casing... sweat.gif

I would recommend, if you need to open the casing, better get a hdd and 3.5 casing. But price wise, its better to just buy a 1TB like WD external like home, mybook, elements etc, its much cheaper

Its better to go for higher capacity, if ur going for a 2.5" u can opt for a 500GB one.. Its quite cheap these days

mois, u can get seagate for about rm290, imo rm325 is way overprice. others you can consider samsung f3 as well. quite a good performer and its 2 platter drive same as 7200.12.

hello....can anyone suggest me 1tb/640gb/500gb EXTERNAL HARD DISK with price????i'm ok with 2.5' or 3.5'....i'm planning to buy since last month....but i dunnoe which to buy....so...anyone pls give recommendations. i'm using the external hard disk to store anime,movie,songs and other documents....etc...pls recommend. thanks for the recommendation.

Go for at least a 640gb becoz its no point you buy a small hdd and find that later you dont have enough space. The trusted brand for me is WD Mybook Home for external hdd, using 1tb my book home now... excellent smile.gif

QUOTE(malaysianbest @ Oct 13 2009, 02:49 PM)
Right now! i am planning to buy an external hdd wit 1 TB capacity and the problem is don't know which is the best ? and some say you should buy BUFFALO DRIVE STATION 1TB POR HDD ! and i need your advice....
*
I don't think you should buy a Buffalo 1tb drives... becoz some ppl complain got problem and getting warranty for its is a pain in the ***

Go for the Mybook 1tb new version, that 1 is around 400 something and its a new design thumbup.gif
