Any idea if the pricing for HDD rising anytime soon. Planning to grab a 1TB HDD after CNY. Does Caviar Blue have 1TB version? I only saw Caviar Green thus far.

QUOTE(tech_frix @ Jan 20 2009, 12:38 AM) u go czone r?? I dont have any major issues with CZone thus far so i might just get it from them. My External 1TB is getting full and i need to get another one as a replacement. However, it does seem that the Caviar Green is a lil bit too slow to my liking and was searching around for Caviar Blue, but cant seem to find it. just go to ATE or Vienet... they got it... |

QUOTE(xelnamikaze @ Jan 16 2009, 01:08 PM) as long as its cache is the same .. then yes .. actually not just the cache n rotational speed.. it's the areal density also from large capacity drives, so those 1.5TBs (from 3.5inch) and 500GB (from 2.5inch) are mighty fast when transfering large files.. but only seagate 1.5TB makes them now so they are also "affected"i might be wrong .. but what i know is Seagate is having a problem at the current moment .. so if you're wise, do what you need to do |
