usb 3 is around the corner..

as ur budget rm299.. 500gb 2.5"

yup coz usb3 more than that..

i thought already rm380.. for 2tb..

where u get the source?

that's now showing anything to RMA just more to updating the firmware..
or is it becoz they mishandling the update process?

did u use F3 with sb850?

if no sure not related one..

but not for all F3.. just that if got prob like cannot boot or noise during boot..
should consider to update the firmware..
affected on sb850 hdd controller mostly sata 3 amd mobo..

that's F1

2TB EcoGreen F3 --> HD203WI
1.5TB EcoGreen F3 --> HD153WI
1TB EcoGreen F3 --> HD105SI

1TB Spinpoint F3 --> HD103SJ
0.5TB Spinpoint F3 --> HD502HJ

still no 2tb F3?

1TB 7200rpm should faster..

normally on hdd label got stated..

what brand? maybe u can check online..

because it's rated like that..

even waiting 2tb F3 also.. very hard to get..
if straight can get F4 is better..

u guys use ssd.. install everything inside it or what?
i think the size is not suitable for me..

err.. not for storage.. normally will install software everything..
or maybe games for performance..
nowadays also need alot of space.. so if install sure not enough..

that's why last time i even sell my raptor coz not enough space..
atleast need 250gb like that for primary hdd..

yup better do what everling say to evade complication changing the path.. becoz it's for OS not storage hdd..

not killer price.. just that recently hdd price dropping..

desktop hdd or external?
maybe kaputt edy.. try change the cable etc..

if got bad sector.. problem later..
time for new hdd..

i think several times i ask about that 2tb samsung is F3 or F2.. no one confirm.. haha..

i wonder why that 1Tb wd black rated as sata 3..
they make it faster?
