QUOTE(kayden @ Aug 11 2009, 09:52 AM) Some ppl's Seagate 1TB has firmware problem which causes their hdd to fail. Refer to here. i have one caviar and green (internal)~ both death on arrival..but i think those problem with courier service.For recommendation, i would suggest 1TB Western Digital Black Caviar @ RM340~350. Its performance is just slightly below WD Velociraptor. The blacks are quite fast. I am onna get one too ^^  might get black caviar..but will there any significant improvement even if im using usb 2.0 on such high end hardisk? another brand i used before samsung story station, bought it long ago and works fine till today, but it seems that no one selling thing at lowyat~ i got it from a friend as bday present. |

QUOTE(kayden @ Aug 11 2009, 04:21 PM) Hi there, ah i see, i guess i will be getting two set 1tb external hd~ Black caviar has dual processor built in so the performance (seeking & reading) is above the rest in its class. With 32MB cache buffer, it further enhances the seeking speed of Black Caviar. About the usb 2.0, it can carry up to 480Mb of data/sec. Opposed to SATA it can carry up to 3.0Gb/sec. So for your case, if u are talking about transferring file into the Black Caviar it has no significant improvement. But if u are seeking for files inside the Black Caviar, yes, it is faster than normal 16mb 1tb hdd. one samsung story and i will be getting a black caviar with a casing that comes with sata port~ hopefully the hardisk doesnt DOA~ |
