so does wd unless you pay for the black

Black and green edition only differ in price around RM20++ . Can get Black edition *RM 355 last time check at garage sale. Little expensive compared to SG 1TB that mayb around *RM 345.


----> Erm Have a question. Rite now im using Seagate 7200.10 ( 320 Gb, 16 cache ). If i switch to WD black, can feel noticeable improvement in performance? Raptor is too costly tongue.gif

*Corrected

Owh snap. Typo... RM 355 very sory tongue.gif .


---> ANyway, juzz to confirm. Got rumors from some "expert" telling that WD green have this so called "chip" installed that will make the HDD shut down itselft when idle even if you've set the power management to always turn on your HDD from your window. This is to fulfill their "power saving attribute" . Is this true eh?

Im planning to upgrade my pc speed by buying the 10k RPM veloci Raptor. Does using 10k RPM HDD reli can see noticable improvement in speed? does using 10k RPM HDD gave more effect than upgrading to better multiple processor?

In terms of app loading times, you'll definitely see a boost from a speedy 10K RPM HDD, but not as much as the performance boost you'll get from any decent SSD. Other than the aforementioned loading times, a VRaptor doesn't really give any other substantial benefits that would be had from getting a better CPU.

So what about multitasking? For example. if currently my PC is abit lag+slow dealing with 1 games and 1 Adobe Illustrator program simultaneously, will upgrading to veloci raptor give improvement in multitasking those heavy application?

2GB? or 2TB? I'm pretty sure you mean the latter.

In any case, pretty much every notable HDD manufacturer out there has a 2TB model for sale.

Ya ya i mean 2 TB hahaha. At first i want to buy the WD Green 2 TB. But some 'expert' says these green one has special feature which will automatically switch the HDD off during idle, and will resume again when it start up again when not in idle mode. This too frequent idle-and-resume processes will eventually shorten the life of HDD. This feature is to reduce the energy consumption. Is this true meh? or just some myth?

I'm no expert but i think its because you are basically transfering within the same HDD, just diff partitions, tts y its slower. The same HDD needs to READ and Write at the same time n hence becomes slower..... where as if you transfer files across HDD, one reads and the other writes. e.g. when I transfer 13GB files frm my Seagate 7200.11 1TB to the new Samsung F3 1TB I also get around 110mb/s. smile.gif

Do correct me if my theory is wrong... smile.gif

Well in my case both the same. Transfer file from f3 to Seagate speed at 40mb/s onli. Transfer within the same hard disk ( f3) also around tht speed. Onli that transfer from F3 to WD green lower a little bit at speed of 35mb/s . I dunno why so slow hummmmmmmmm
