how is My Book Home Edition 1TB compare to My Book Studio 1TB, both r 7200rpm? performance wise same? if the different only data transfer then I rather get cheaper 1.

I have both WD 1TB Green & WD 1TB Caviar black.


WD Black have 5 year warranty

WD Green have 3 year warranty

Wondering which one should be the backup drive ?
Not running any raids, as my mobo doesnt have a raid controller build in.
Usually i just do a manual backup via Cobian Backup 9.


Which do you think should be the backup drive ?

i think green shall do well for you.. save energy since that backup drive mostly is idle... just my point of view..

for wd green drives, how will it perform if i use as my main os drive?

I wouldn't recommend you on using green drive if you're a performance freak.

Get a WD 640AAKS also known as WD 640 Blue

Its really fast for your main OS, i would say the rank for OS speed


1. SSD / Raid 0
2. WD Raptor's
3. WD 640 Blue
4. Samsung F1

all based on my opinion your can do your research

excuse me here~~
i wanna ask.. any recommendations for hardkfisk 2.5" ?

i wanna get two.. one 160G then other 250G or 320G

wanna ask again.. will there be discounts during the pc fair?

Don't count on it. It's unlikely to happen. It has never happened as far as I can remember. Better get from LYP.

i see, if i use raid 0 i need to have 2 identical drives together isn't it?

Okay i got two choices,

Which is better for storage of music, drama and HD movies?

WD 1TB green or WD 1TB Black?

i would like to ask this question also~
haha~
and wat bout the new buffalo mini station?
if like that should i get hdd from garagesales?

Mind if i asking,
How to know if my motherboard support 1tb??
It is intel DG43NB mobo..
How to know it can do 1tb??

Of course black loh since got 5yr wrty & faster.

How old is ur mb btw?

Worry about harddisk failure. Now i felt 640gb not enough.

get more since it's cheap

i've 3 hdd with storage 120+160+200gb and all partition almost full...and with 1gb RAM

i've noticed when i play COD...my PF usage is around 1 to 1.5 gb...

is't normal?if not, is't related to hdd

PCZone is expensive imo

guys , i heard dat new version of SATA will be released soon... really r??
it is rumoured dat it has 6gb/s data transfer speed...
sory if im being a slowpoke

Some question here, is WD ELEMENT 1TB better or BUFFALO DRIVE STATION 1TB USB2.0?

My budget around rm350....tomorow is PC FAIR...need some advice

The thing is Sata speed is the speed of the interface. However all the mainstream HDD can't even hit the 3Gb/s rate as per the Sata 2 spec. The bottleneck is always at the HDD mechanisms. I think even the better mainstreamn 7200rpm HDD can only do less than 200Kb/s (whether burst or sustained) - pls correct me if I am wrong.

So IMO all these will not affect mainstream PC users at all. I would be more than happy if all my 7200.11 and WDs can hit the Sata 1 150Kb/s rate constantly

Guys, will the wd 1tb green power best bang per buck for usage as storage, gaming and hd movies playback.
