QUOTE(tech_frix @ Oct 6 2008, 09:25 AM) i'm sooooo newb in HDD... 7200.11 stands for Seagate's 11th Generation of their Barracuda HDD series so what is 7200.11 or i cant recall d exact??   7200 refers to 7200rpm and 11th Generation is 250GB per platter. It has both 16MB and 32MB cache model. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

QUOTE(tech_frix @ Oct 6 2008, 10:13 AM) thanks boss... Frankly speaking, from my point of view, only 2 big HDD manufacturers now left dominating in the market where the others such as Quantum, Maxtor, etc. have been taken over by them. Samsung has pretty good reputation in the HDD market as well, but not as popular as Seagate and Western Digital do. The popularity which I mean known by every level of users but not only enthusiast.so compare to WD or Samsung, Seagate stills rock?? sorry for my noobness.. We can't simply take complaints or RMA rate as reference for the company's performance. The reason there is a high rate because a lot of people using it. How will we know the failure rate from a manufacturer which less sell their product thus less people been using? Make sense, isn't? Furthermore, it is the nature of a human to complain rather than compliment on good stuffs. We hardly read up good feedback, simply because no one will bother if it is good and don't create any trouble  |

Nowadays... most ppl use Western Digital and Seagate. These two brands are the most popular at the moment.
Samsung and Hitachi are chasing up. Maxtor and Quantum are dead. |

It's one of their core advantage.SSD's write performance is not necessarily better especially those cheaper ones. But those better ones can be 2x faster. |

For warranty claim within the first year of purchase, the shop will provide free service. However, for 2nd year and above will be charged service charge for it if you requested them to RMA for you. You can do it yourself by sending it directly to the Samsung manufacturer. Then of course you'll need to fill in your HDD and warranty details online before you can proceed |

QUOTE(victorboy @ Oct 7 2008, 01:24 AM) not a problem mate... Yeah, HDD's data are very crucial and easily cause heavy lost once it's gone due to harddisk failure.

That's why I always spread and share my collection of HD movies, etc. In case gone *touchwood*, I can still try to leech it back from them . One of my way to save cost on creating virtual backup 64GB? If purely ONLY operating system should be more than enough. Says if includes software suits such as MS Office, Adobe Suits, etc. it will depends on what you require. I spare myself 100GB for OS and the software suits which is pretty enough for me. Anyway, I did thought of getting a SSD purely for my OS and software suits |

2) Being use externally, 2.5" can be powered by USB (1 x USB2.0 or 2 x USB1.1) while 3.5" will need extra power adapter. 3) 3.5" has larger capacity limitation compared to 2.5" and capacity / RM more value on the 3.5" |

well..depends...seagate 500gb 32mb vs wd 640gb 16mb...most review show wd is faster...but seagate burst speed is high...mayb because of the cache? raid0 is just like running ram at dual channel..but if u run at raid 0..its superb fast i can say...

I saw couple of forumer selling below Rm400. But now I aim for 1.5TB Seagate 32mb. Saw pczone price list stated RM480. Can some1 have chance to check it out it is real or typo mistake?

Higher rpm means ur harddisk spin more fast la...result in faster in accessing data(read/write etc)...improve performance..

Speaking about rpms, from old thread...
QUOTE(k!nex @ Oct 5 2008, 06:15 AM) wanna ask u guys smtg. nowadays 7200rpm drives for 2.5inch HDD are easily can be found in LYP. u guys think does it justify to buy it as a external HDD for gaming?(example:some games not available in cybercafe, but u wanna play there.) in terms of price vs performance. including difference between e-sata and usb2.0 interface. So where to find them cause its really dam rare when I tried to scout for it. Most that exist was those below 160GB. |

Hi guys, hope to get some advice here. I'm thinking of buying a 3.5" external HDD for storage purpose.
Is it a good time to buy right now? Any difference between internal HDD + casing combo and originally external products (such as WD MyBook)? Does it require AC power supply or is USB enough? And since I'm going for storage purpose, cache size doesn't matter, right? WD or SeaGate or others? Or doesn't matter? Thanks a lot guys |

QUOTE(tech_frix @ Oct 9 2008, 06:37 PM) wargh.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAIDi really2 dont understand raid0...! drooling reading urs comment bout raid0.... For those who are too lazy, here are the most commonly used RAIDs, straight from wiki. There are other raid modes:- QUOTE * RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data across several disks in a way that gives improved speed and full capacity, but all data on all disks will be lost if any one disk fails. Meh.* RAID 1 (mirrored disks) could be described as a backup solution, using two (possibly more) disks that each store the same data so that data is not lost as long as one disk survives. Total capacity of the array is just the capacity of a single disk. The failure of one drive, in the event of a hardware or software malfunction, does not increase the chance of a failure nor decrease the reliability of the remaining drives (second, third, etc). * RAID 5 (striped disks with parity) combines three or more disks in a way that protects data against loss of any one disk; the storage capacity of the array is reduced by one disk. * RAID 6 (less common) can recover from the loss of two disks. * RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and mirroring. |

I can't seem to find it. Well, i guess the MyBook is actually the exact same thing with the internal 3.5" WD 1TB HDD. Just that it comes together with a nice case and maybe some cooling fins inside the case itself. So basically, its the exact same HDD, no matter you are getting the internal HDD + a nice external case or the WD MyBook. This is on the 1TB HDD though. Not sure whether the other sizes are exactly the same or not.Now I'm thinking what size to get |

QUOTE(vearn27 @ Oct 10 2008, 09:16 PM) Thanks a lot for your experience input Bro mADmAN RAID-0 is like multithreading in processors. Say you have 4 hard disks, you RAID-0 them. You split the workload to the 4 hard disks and each hard disk keeps 1/4 part of the data(not necessarily, try raid-0 different sizes of hdd). Since you split the workload, you would get up to 4 times the performance. This is all handled by the RAID-0 processing chip. Fake RAID-0 requires the processor to handle the RAID, which is why there are performance degradation.Well, I read that somehow RAID-0 improve our performance, but the performance is only significantly noticeable on NFS (Network File System) and in some cases it could actually degrade the performance on us as normal user.

HDD tends to die sooner? Aiks... My explanation is getting out of hand. What you need to know is, 2 hard disk raid-0 is twice as fast as 1 hard disk, 3 hard disk raid-0 is 3 times as fast as 1 hard disk, etc etc etc etc. |

Check this out:
500 GB Hard Disk Drive Round-Up If you're lazy to read, here's the conclusion: QUOTE Here is a breakdown of what we found out about each hard drive included in our round-up:  Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 (HDP725050GLA360): It is cheaper than the other reviewed drives and, believe, there is a reason for that: lower performance. Even though it achieved an average transfer rate comparable to Samsung’s model, it has a terrible access time. Don’t buy. Samsung Spinpoint F1 DT (HD502IJ): Although it is faster than Western Digital Caviar SE16, it is slower than Seagate Barracuda 7200.11. It is an option only if you can’t find Seagate Barracuda 7200.11. Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (ST3500320AS): This is the drive we recommend for the average user. It provides a performance higher than other mainstream units at the same price range, thus providing the best cost/benefit ratio. If you can spend a little more a better option is the new Western Digital RE3. Seagate Barracuda ES.2 (ST3500320NS): An enterprise drive with good performance, but Western Digital RE3 is faster and thus our recommended product for this segment. Seagate SV35.3 (ST3500320SV): A hard disk drive targeted to digital video surveillance systems with a good transfer rate. What killed this hard disk drive was its access time: it was the drive with the worst access time in our round-up. Don’t buy. Western Digital RE3 costs the same thing and is faster. Western Digital Caviar GP (WD5000AACS): This is a “green†drive with variable rotational speed in order to save energy. We didn’t measure power consumption, so we can’t talk specifically about energy savings. Its performance was one of the worst and thus we can’t recommend this product. Don’t buy. Western Digital Caviar SE (WD5000AAJS): Performance worst than the majority of drives we tested, probably due to its lower buffer size (8 MB). Don’t buy. Western Digital Caviar SE16 (WD5000AAKS): Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 is far faster and costs the same thing. Don’t buy. Western Digital RE2 (WD5001ABYS): Lousy performance. Don’t buy. Western Digital RE3 (WD5002ABYS): This was the best drive in our review. But since it is targeted to the enterprise market – meaning it has a higher reliability – it costs more. If you are looking for an enterprise-class product, this is the one you should pick. This product is also recommended to regular users that want a higher performance and can pay a little bit more to have the fastest 500 GB drive around. Of course a VelociRaptor 300 GB will be faster, but it costs far more and you will have less storage space: if you want to have more than 300 GB you will have to buy and put two of these in RAID0, what will create a huge hole in your wallet. |

500GB is easily used up. Especially for pirates (almost everyone?
 )If you have interest in movies and music, go get Rapidshare premium account, or an unthrottled BT connection, 500GB is easily filled Especially for HD stuffs  |

If you check out the HDD, it is in FAT32 format instead of the normal NTFS. I got mine at 930GB as well instead of 1TB. I suggest if you do not need the software in the HDD, format it cause FAT32 does tend to feel slower than NTFS for me. However, do remember you will never get full 1TB. Something to do with relevant 1024bytes calculation which i never tend to remember This post has been edited by akachester: Oct 15 2008, 05:06 PM |

I'm getting myself a WD MyBook 1TB too. Online reviews show that the software included = crap and that the first thing you should do is format it to NTFS
But if it shows 930GB that's quite a big loss. It should show 976GB |

But if it shows 930GB that's quite a big loss. It should show 976GB For operating systems, it recognize 1 Kilobytes = 1,024 bytes; 1 Megabyte = 1,024 Kilobytes; 1 Gigabytes = 1,024 Megabytes. For manufacturer, it recognize 1 Kilobytes = 1,000 bytes; 1 Megabyte = 1,000 Kilobytes; 1 Gigabytes = 1,000 Megabytes. Thus manufacturer's 1 Terabytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes while in operating system become: 1,000,000,000,000 / (1,024 x 3) = 931GB Make sense now? It has been explained over and over in this forum P/S: Next don't ask why the manufacturer consume the 24 thingy, email their customer care if you curious enough. |

Heads up... grab your WD640GB HDD from ALL IT now for a batshit crazy price of RM230! I've never seen it drop this low before.
Their MyBook series are also rather cheap compared to other stores, especially the 500GB Home Edition (USB2.0) - RM299. Didn't expect them to beat Viewnet's pricelist. (for today at least) |

Hey all,
I am looking to upgrade my Dell notebook HD to a SATA 7200 RPM hd. I went to digital mall today, and no one carries any 7200 RPM HD. Anyone has any idea where i can get one? |

For 7.2k rpm 2.5" notebooks hdds u can try and find in lowyat plaza, but bear in mind that 7.2krpm hdds are much more expensive than 5.4k one. for 160gb 7.2k u can get 250gb 5.4k,just my 2 cents.
anyway, for raid 0 , how to backup the files in hdd since the hdd is running in raid 0? |

I have actually called PC zone and other pc shops in lowyat, and none of them carry any 7200 rpm 2.5 internal HD for notebooks. Any ideas or anyone ever bought a 7200 rpm in Lowyat? Thanks in advance |

I don't do a 100% backup though, just some selected files) ..and a sata optical drive. |

QUOTE Western Digital Caviar GP (WD5000AACS): This is a “green†drive with variable rotational speed in order to save energy. We didn’t measure power consumption, so we can’t talk specifically about energy savings. Its performance was one of the worst and thus we can’t recommend this product. Don’t buy.

WD and seagate is good but seagate got 5 years warranty while WD got 3 only. Since HDD spoil easy more warranty is better but I still prefer WD over seagate because my 3 previous seagate HDD never live more than 2 years.However, seagate and WD has improve since then so I'm sure seagate is a good buy. If you got the money just go for min 500GB since games size is getting bigger and you might need it for other purpose. |

Are there any difference in using a cheap RM20 and an expensive RM150 external enclosure? Most probably the more expensive enclosure is better at dissipating heat, but apart from that, will the life span of the hard disk be shorter or more risky if using a cheap enclosure? Will speed be different even if both are USB 2?

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..

Am buying 2 more TB hard disk. Which one you guys recommend? Seagate or WD or Samsung or Hitachi or Fujitsu ?
For heavy duty use --- buy 2 now to try out, and if they pass the tourture test, will buy 3 more later, for raid configuration. thanks for sharing ! |

Well, i'm using WD Element 1TB series , which using the green hdd, so far so good as a storage device
I store and play MKV files from the hdd, no problem so far due to the USB2.0, the transfer rate is =_=" haha and i notice green hdd will auto turn to sleep mode if you don't use it, i guess that is the part it save the power |

QUOTE(ericpires @ Nov 22 2008, 06:38 PM) The problem is that maybe thats why WD is the only one with 640g edition? How come other hdd makers like Seagate or etc dun have 640g? the main reason WD have 640G HDD is due to business strategy, imagine, you're paying 500G price but getting 640G capacity. Since I'm staying in Pg, if using PC Depot pricing, you find out the lowest cost per GB, 640GB drive is the most value for money.It same as Seagate have 750GB drive where as WD don't have it. |

Hi all, im not sure if this is appropriate thread for me to ask this noob question..
Is there a difference in game performance if i install the game on SATA or IDE hardisk. I know SATA is faster then IDE but does it affect game performance? i have SATA as primary and IDE as slave. Thank you very much.. |

There are currently 2 types of firmware found (SD1A and CC1H) and they are given by Seagate after you contact their technical support (giving serial/part number) and it's for your own use only. There are cases where some drives were bricked when they perform the update with firmwares provided by other users who obtained them from Seagate for their own drives.but there are still so many people that still could not get their hands of the firmware |

Anyone knows the price for samsung's spindisk F1, read many reviews on it rated higher in performance than WD raptor. And cheaper in price, so quite value for money. In terms of performance and value.

what do you guys think bout the reliability of the Seagate Baracuda and Western Digital HDD?
previously when i was hunting for a reliable HDD, the IT guy in my company told me that most of the consumer hdd is not really reliable for 24/7 usage....when i asked further, he recommended my to go for the Seagate SV.35 series which is for Surveillance Video.....due to the fact that my company is a distributor for CCTV, they have tested quite a no of HDD in the market for reliability and after all these years, the most reliable hdd they have tested is the SV.35 series....i have also seen quite a no of Western D and Baracuda series coming in for RMA after 1-2 years of usage... this really makes me wonder if the normal consumer hdd is reliable enough to last for bout 3-4 years operation because i have quite a no of movies n songs saved in it.....what do you guys think? |

Then you cant just rely on hdd, because mechanical stuffs are prone to break down after long usage so you need to do some backup as well. Seagate and WD are equally reliable. |

QUOTE(Fusion @ Dec 2 2008, 12:40 PM) what do you guys think bout the reliability of the Seagate Baracuda and Western Digital HDD? previously when i was hunting for a reliable HDD, the IT guy in my company told me that most of the consumer hdd is not really reliable for 24/7 usage....when i asked further, he recommended my to go for the Seagate SV.35 series which is for Surveillance Video.....due to the fact that my company is a distributor for CCTV, they have tested quite a no of HDD in the market for reliability and after all these years, the most reliable hdd they have tested is the SV.35 series....i have also seen quite a no of Western D and Baracuda series coming in for RMA after 1-2 years of usage... this really makes me wonder if the normal consumer hdd is reliable enough to last for bout 3-4 years operation because i have quite a no of movies n songs saved in it.....what do you guys think? if im nt wrong...there is some hdd for business usage rite?QUOTE(Irishcoffee @ Dec 2 2008, 06:57 PM) nope abit its a lot.... yes....wd new planbut wd green power slow as hell man but its run cool and low power la |

can't say how long can it support when connected to pc... many ppl left their external HDD connected to pc everyday... it should not be a problem since its design for mostly laptop user who dont have big HDD space...

QUOTE(yehlai @ Dec 2 2008, 01:55 PM) Then you cant just rely on hdd, because mechanical stuffs are prone to break down after long usage so you need to do some backup as well. I concur.Seagate and WD are equally reliable. I'd also like to highlight the importance of using a good PSU. If you value your data, avoid those capalang, non true-power PSUs. I've only had 1 broken HDD so far. It was a 40GB Maxtor, and the PC it was on was running on a cheap iCute PSU. |

My hd is seagate 200gb barracuda..

dont simply pull out until u know for sure wat the jumper is there for....
check ur manufacturers website for the jumper settings. if it really is at the 1.5gbps slots... then yeah pull it out if ur mobo is compatible with sata 2. if not...best to just leave it there. |

I am trying to say, when you run RAID O n at the same time you do partition on that same RAID O, can the raid o run slower than raid o without partition.This post has been edited by Dickong: Dec 31 2008, 09:29 PM |

Can i know your hd raid benchmark, my pc spec at my signature.still fast. |

Can i know your hd raid benchmark, my pc spec at my signature. cant remember the benchmark.....and i used HD Tach....but i do remember it was quite low. but the low benchmark is a common issue with 680i chipset mobos. but in terms of loading times (windows games etc etc) it was significantly faster than single hdd. |

It depends on your preference, i just bought a WD 1 TB Green Caviar 32mb Cache @ Rm350 at Lowyat, very happy with it since is just for external hard disk for storing multimedia stuffs no fast spin required for me, anyway just invest in a good external enclosure. And also the new Green Caviar has 3 platters(333 GB each) compare to 4 for the last model(250 GB each), and also a 32 mb cache. Anyway happy with what i bought.
