Any one tried hardware RAID0 setup before?

No, and I dunt advice you to. Its highly insecure, should one of the disk fail, your recovery chances is NIL

i tried...on two system, one is tpower and one more is p35 t2rs..superb fast...tested the dfi board wif 2pcs of seagate 500gb 32mb and tpower wif samsung 160gb 8mb...both are superb fsat..but the seagate will b faster

any help guys ??
I want to know seagate 320GB and western digital 320GB , which one using one platter ?
Which one more silent ?

HDD aren't that noisy nowadays.. but if you save a lot of files, some HDD will start to produce noisy sound when loading... no need to worry about the brand.. but i personally go for Seagate..

Ya,me too....Coz seagate offers 5 years warranty...Anyone knows bad sector can be warranty or not?

lol..bad sector can warranty wan..juz request for rma in the website...dey will replace u one..dun worry

its better you list out the model name. you question is too general.

anyone knows where to get the new WD Raid Edition 3? FBSY code.?? Lowyat?

wow, Seagate seem there were people who facing bad sectors...
so far all my Seagate hdd doesn't have any this symptoms..

any good comments on Samsung hdd?
thinking to buy Samsung hdd for my future storage expansion...

not sure about Samsung but they sure had improved a lot in HDD sector... if their HDD are getting better then i think i might to grab one and try..

i as a newbie compare to all u experts, need an answer to this:

i recently found my old 80gb harddisk under my old desk. I want to convert is to external harddrive BUT 1st i want to check if it still functioning or not. The problem is, i dont have any desktop pc for now to check it manually, i only hav laptop..

is there any method to check the hdd b4 i buy the hd casing?

juz buy new hdd its cheap rite now....
anyway r ur hdd 2.5" or 3.5" Hdd?

if u wanna do it with ur laptop... ur gonna need a hdd casing

OR u can plug it into a desktop PC and test it out


then use softwares like Seagate's SeaTools to test to make sure its in perfect health.

i guess u better try using the ide to usb or sata to usb b4 investing into larger thgs...getting a external case is much more costly den buying those cables alone to test it out

ya its cheaper to get those cables.. who knows how if the HDD is faulty... then you will wasted your money buying external case..

Is there such thing as 7,2000rpm 1.8'' laptop harddisk?
if got where can i buy it?

i guess 1.8" is too small to run at 7200rpm lar

samsung HDD??i did own 1.....80GB which i make it as an external HDD 3.5''.....wat i can say is tat my samsung HDD a bit noisy though.....dunno tat they have improve tis or not.....tat samsung HDD of mine about 5years ago de......

erm... the motor of the HDD can be that fast?
