QUOTE(mitodna @ Jun 4 2010, 02:23 PM) I predict next wave of hard disk price reduction is coming. eg. 1TB about RM200. I'll be putting more hopes on 2TB price cut though.  Having 1 unit 2TB as backup is much better than having 2 units of 1TB.  |

If 1TB is predicted as RM200, then 2TB should be less than RM400, could be around RM370. If the rumor is true *cross finger*

QUOTE(everling @ Jun 4 2010, 12:36 PM) You will need a motherboard capable of supporting USB 3.0 for that to happen, but I would still buy a USB 3.0 external hard disk because it is a great future proofing buy. usb 3 is around the corner..QUOTE(slayer-z @ Jun 4 2010, 03:16 PM) That price for 2.5" or 3.5" ? as ur budget rm299.. 500gb 2.5"QUOTE(cherroy @ Jun 4 2010, 04:10 PM) 90MB/s almost max out the HDD capability already. yup coz usb3 more than that..QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Jun 4 2010, 04:53 PM) If 1TB is predicted as RM200, then 2TB should be less than RM400, could be around RM370.

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jun 2 2010, 10:36 PM) I suggest, for those who buy alot of HDD and don't like external pre-made HDDs (Mybook, story station, etc.) due to the slow HDDs being used inside, get a dock. Hi bro,got any good dock to intro? Switch your HDD on the fly.   QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Jun 4 2010, 04:09 PM) So, is it true? Upcoming PC Fair super price cut? Should I wait that long?
